turn a blind eye Explanation: I would suggest: Mothers often turn a blind eye to a new TV series in the beginning [because they don't have time or cannot be bothered...but once their children turn nasty, they begin to relate it to what their little horrors may have seen on TV, explanation all mine]. The translation will also depend on your previous and subsequent sentences... |

take it at face value Explanation: to accept something because of the way it first looks or seems, without thinking about what else it could mean. These results should not be taken at face value - careful analysis is required to assess their full implications. (often negative) http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/take at face value |
