Thanks for all the insight, but I think that maybe some of you saw things that aren't there. My son is extremely bright and consumes books at a rate that, frankly, boggles the mind. He also has almost complete recall of everything he reads, so once it's in there it stays in there. Add to that the fact that he's very empathetic, so intense situations, whether real life or movies or the written word, can overwhelm him, and you end up with a kid that still needs some protection until he learns how to build the barriers that we all have. It's for these reasons that i want to limit some of what he reads to things that are more appropriate to him at this time.
