Netflix "Cuties" Backlash

[Mystic Wanderer]

@"Mystic Wanderer" 

Here is the thing: The vast majority of children do not go to church any more. Most these days are living in homes broken by divorce with mothers working all the time and trying to play catch up on chores and errands when they get home. They have no time to monitor what their children are watching and learning from the internet and wouldn't believe their daughters of such a young age would ever act that way- but they do.

Parents need to wake up and see what their children are being not only exposed to but encouraged to act out by their own peers. Pedophiles will get a rise from damn near anything. They are just as likely to get all excited from cheerleading competitions, regular dance competitions (which aren't far from what is seen in the movie), pageants, clothing ads, child created videos on Youtube or even watching the neighbor kids jumping on a trampoline.

I hope that the movie causes parents to take a much closer interest in what their kids are watching, what they are doing and who they are spending their time with. 

Yes, I agree. As I said, it's a different world now than the one where I grew up. 

I'm not "religious" now, but I do think removing church and God from the "growing up" years makes a huge difference in instilling high morals during one's youth. Just look how far our society has fallen since people took prayer out of schools, and made it seem "uncool" to go to church.

"Religion" is an entire different topic. I don't agree with the indoctrination that comes with it, but certain things taught in the church are still good today. I'm not talking about the Catholic Church where pedos run rampart in back rooms, but the ones where God's spirit is felt and preachers are "the real thing". Sadly, these churches seem to be few and far between these days.

If any good does come from this movie, I hope it's what you said. There definitely needs to be a huge wake up call sent out to parents.
