The Passion Movie - Question

[Lynne]

>From what I have read--and I have not seen the film, nor do I intend
to--many parents are taking relatively young--10 or younger--children to see
the film. (In Las vegas, some parents had a 5 year old with them, and I
think a 3 year old) The film is very violent, and involves the killing of ,
well, Christ.  A number of psychologists have noted that this could be
extremely traumatic for children, more than, say, seeing Bambi's mother get
shot or Nemo's mother being killed. An article here did note that some
children seemed very upset after the movie.
     Could a prosecutor prosecute a parent for abuse or neglect for bringing
a small child?  Could a theater be prosecuted for admitting young children,
even if parents are there?  Or, more likely, could someone get an injunction
against admitting small children, though they are accompanied by their
parents?
