• Only a small amount of physical or emotional violence is allowed in kids' shows.
  

• Real-life characters can only use violence when it is needed to develop the story.
  

• Cartoons can contain some non-realistic violence, but not actions that kids might try to imitate.
  

• Television shows must not make kids feel threatened. They have to be sensitive when they are dealing with issues that kids might be experiencing themselves, like domestic conflict, the death of parents or close relatives, the death of a pet, street crime or the use of drugs.
  

• Producers of television shows must be careful about how they portray dangerous acts that kids might try to imitate, like using plastic bags as toys, using matches, playing with dangerous household products, or climbing apartment balconies or going on rooftops.
  

• Violence can't be shown as the only way to handle problems between people.
  

• Kids' television shows can only contain frightening special effects if they are necessary for the story.
  
• Adult shows and advertisements that contain scenes of violence, can't be shown before 9 p.m.
  
• Because older kids might still be watching TV after 9 p.m., broadcasters have to include a warning for parents at the beginning of programs that contain violence.
