Answer:

Watching violent television and children's aggression are related but possibly not causally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Violence on television is bewitching and memorable. A scene that lasts only a few seconds - broadcast on a small part of a show - can be remembered in the long run more than any other scene in history. Violence has a very contagious message and often has a direct effect. Based on this concept, Dr. Simmon conducted research to assess whether there was a relationship between TV violence and aggressive behavior in children. In his research, Dr Simmon found a strong positive correlation between watching violent cartoons on TV and children's levels of aggression toward others.

From this we can conclude that according to Dr. Simmon's research, watching violent television and child abuse are related, but possibly not causally.
