Shouldn't parents already know to talk to their daughters about such things?
I have a problem with the parents who allowed their child to be in this movie. You know they had to be groomed and exploited during certain scenes. I think they allowed their child to be used to gain fame and money, and that's the problem I have with this.
Even back when I was that age (long before the time of music videos, etc.) pre-teen girls were doing the same. When my younger sister was that age she was sneaking out with 20 year old men that SHE pursued! I ended up breaking my best friend's nose over it for helping her sneak out! I tried to tell my mother but she wouldn't believe me.
Nowdays young girls are even worse, and look at all that is on the internet to teach them. Parents haven't got a clue what their little princesses are watching online and then trying to re-create in real life! In my opinion the movie is a wake up call to the parents of these girls.
Parents you think your little princess would never dress or act like that? WRONG!
Is it hard to accept that everyone around us has grown up with a different moral compass instilled in their behavior and mindset. Some of us are conservatives and as such have Biblical upbringings, with a host of Christian values, while some Jewish have a different dirrection, and a large amount of Protestant leanings. WWII post war influenced alot of behavior as Television and Radio became the cornerstones of a great deal. Broadcasting programs that included censors who examined the content for decedance and obsenity was the norm.. Now anything is acceptable, just watch cable. Other countries have celebrations such as The fiesta de quince años is a celebration of a girl's 15th birthday. It has its cultural roots in Mesoamerica and is widely celebrated today throughout the Americas. The girl celebrating her 15th birthday is a quinceañera.
A 15 year old as legal for all activities afforded a woman ? Going further south ages even younger.
Just as we can not quite fathom some of the character profiles of some of our own neighbors, we are looked upon as stuffy, not progressive enough. Where is the defining rule, the thing defining decency. In Asian countries it is even worse. Thailand, Cambodia even China. The Middle East. Who defines behavior ? I think that my concience has embued me with an understanding of right from wrong...... but many many other have a whole different view with their own desires and activities. Fortunately the United States has still some decency laws still adhered to thankfully. The world is falling into decay as the populations increase, where any action is overlooked and what once was wrong is now right, and right now wrong. These young girls are likely now lost to the pull of the Hollywood pedo scene. It's up to us to change that....!
