Parents may want to keep better track of the movies their kids are watching.

A new Dartmouth College survey reports surprising results.

A high percentage of 10 to 14 year olds are watching some pretty violent movies.

Tod Heatherton co-authored the study.

He's a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth.

He described the findings to NHPR's Mark Bevis.
