The rapid online spread of graphic images tied to Charlie Kirk’s killing has raised questions about how to talk to kids about political violence. Within hours of Kirk’s death, videos of the shooting had been seen more than 40 million times on TikTok, Instagram and X. We hear from parents and teens about their concerns, and Geoff Bennett speaks with clinical psychologist Tori Cordiano for more. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.
