I know a lot about fairy tales and what Disney made out of most ofvthem I do not like.
Fairy tales were not meant for children but for adults, these were life lessons.
I wonder where these parents lived I asume in.the USA?
A story will never make a serial killer out of your kid. The way you raise it, religion and education does in combination with a certain character (or lack of it).
Tom & Jerry, the Looney tunes, Woody Woodpecker, WE Coyote are all very agressive too. It did not raise two generations of gun fighters, killers, dynamite lovers worldwide.
If you cannot raise your child do not blame a book or television or a game for it. Blame the fact you are not raising your own child but society does.
@wakeupkitty, excellent point! Many of the problems we face today is that parents are not parenting, and it leaves society with the responsibility. Then it is a roll of the dice what influences will have the most impact on the neglected child. I feel a calling to write stories for these children to help them feel better about themselves. As for the old fairy tales, they are from all over the world. The Grimm brothers were from Germany and traveled throughout the country to collect the tales for their book.

Go ahead writing. I fairy tales I know how the first ones were. I always told my children tales and (re)wrote many. Already as a kid I questioned a lot.
None of my children changed into.a cruel person. One played Wolfenstein (computer game), she is not killing Germans or German sheppards, even has one herself.
