Well, 'a scratch' is not exactly accurate - it is in fact a smiley face drawn on the middle of the screen by my four-year-old daughter, using a stone that she picked up outside!!
Anyone found a product or a process that will fill/disguise the scratches? Preferably before her daddy comes home from work to find his precious Sony Bravia completely ruined!

I'd TRY the MEGUIER's PLASTIC POLISH.....but toothpaste is ONLY for GLASS, not plastic....it'll make it worse.
Good Luck, next TV you get, have a LEXAN protection screen built and VELCRO it over the LCD display.....
Or if possible, wall mount it about 5-6 feet above any floor or table....

I wouldn't take the others' advice when it comes to metal polish or vaseline.
I would, however, try some meguiar's plastic polish. It's been used by motorcyclists for decades to clean the small scratches off their face shields. Toothpaste works pretty well too. Neither will damage the plastic the way the aforementioned petroleum products will.
Another fine product for polishing plastics is Brillianize:

Light scratches can be removed with a cotton bud and metal polish (such as Brasso or Silvo). Sounds like yours may be way beyond that. Check your household contents insurance details.
