I knew it was going to be almost impossible.  I have young grandchildren who 
found things like Kill Barney, Bart Simpson killing other cartoon 
characters, blood everywhere and some nasty bathroom humor.  they show it to 
the autistic one who has learned how to use their searches to go back and 
play them over and over.  He walks around saying 'Blood Everywhere"  and 
"Shut the f@#k up" and grinning like a loon.  Anything he watches many times 
creates a 'loop' in his mind and he repeats what you don't want to here 
endlessly.  I could kill the other two before they do it again but it is 
against the law.
