Blaming
television
 for bad children behaviour is a common excuse among parents, who in reality are hiding away from their responsibility. Though TV set brings in many problems, it cannot be fully blamed for all the flaws children have. To start with, how can we hold a machine responsible for a social issue?

The TV set
A TV set
 is a source of knowledge, window to the world, so it displays what exactly is happening around the world. If there are lots of violence and chaos in the world,
television
 is bound to show us the true picture. When we would be able making a better society,
television
 would show us the brighter side.
Moreover
, parents do have the ability to shut down the
television
 or change the channel as and when they find programs objectionable.
Hence
, considering an object, which runs on people's command, culprit for any social evil is only laughable. The real reason lies in the bad parenting and lack of
time
 spent with the children. Parents today are so occupied with their personal or professional tensions that they do not find any
time
 to spend with children. Best method they have to keep children occupied is allowing kids watch
television
 without any supervision. At the tender age, a child has many curiosities and for them, they are forced to look towards
television
 as their parents are not around. When things go out of hand, parents find it easy to put the blame on

television
 is baseless. Rather, parents should focus on the core issue and rectify the problem before it is too late.
