It seems the first answer was either written by a child, a person who has no children, or has no interest in the well being of their children. NO - children should NOT be allowed to watch anything they want.
While it's perfectly fine for children to watch some TV programs, there are some which children should not be allowed to watch. And, as parents, it's their responsibility to monitor what their children do watch, and not use the TV as a 'babysitter.
Children are exposed to far too much violence and sex on TV, which can result in them becoming desensitized to those things, causing them to feel the need for further violence in what they watch for stimulation or entertainment. That's only one of the ways in which violence leads to violence.
If kids watch extreme violence on TV not just while they are still in their formative years, but also when they are young teens, it can result in them experimenting with things they do watch. There have been many instances where a child saw a violent act on TV, then 'acted it out', resulting in their death, or the death of another child.
Parents need to be responsible in what they allow their children watch on TV, and only let them watch age appropriate programs. TV's have parental controls so parents can easily control what their children watch, even if they are not present while the child is watching TV.

What does television do to you?
TV has become a perverted way to kill the mind. I use to watch TV alot but then i started to see more and more disturbing things on it. I've actually accumulated fears from TV watching. Of corse its not all TV's fault. I personally have come to hate and despise certain acts of things just from watch TV and getting a veiw of how things work in the world on the screen. TV can be entertaining at times but i would say be careful what you watch. If that answers your question. I dont know if you meant what illnesses can occur but I guess if you were to name my illness it would be a phobia of certain things. A discust I could have lived my whole life without wanting to ever know. Well that is what Television does to me. Sheesh, I shound so dramatic. Sorry. Don't mean to be. TV has different effect on different people. Im just a extra sensitive person, I suppose. My thoughts can also hypocrit me while I write a book. Lol

Should children watch realistic TV?
It has been said that unrealistic TV (i.e. cartoons that show violence etc.) are bad for children's health but realistic programmes like documentaries can be good. Of course it is a case of checking the content- some documentaries aren't suitable for children so be causious with regards to what they watch. Also be careful with the timings they watch TV for- TV should be watched in moderation- (i.e. don't let them watch hours of TV a day). A maximum of 2 and a half hours of TV a day would be plenty.
