The following article is written because firstly I am a women, a mum, was a teen, was a girl child and I am now an aunty to an 11 month girl. We came across the following video on Youtube "Hyper sexualized Part 1 The corruption of children"
which is filled with content that most of us do not agree with. This video and title of the video is even so off the rickter scale and extremely controversial that if we could edit it and get away with it we certainty would.
The only reason why we are sharing this video is for awareness purposes only.
Before you attempt to watch the video below, we would like to point out certain parts of the video only.
The content is what it is, so we will only list the time frames for you that we feel should be mentioned as an awareness tool.
We do not agree with the material in this video including any religious themes, references or any such things to violate children,s rights. We are child advocates and the following video is disturbing to us.
Since this article could be rather lengthy, we will write a second part 2 article at a later date. Here are the main points we will focus on in this post.
Video starts out by saying:
"Today's children are bombarded by an array of media glamorising sex along with an onslaught of sexual images and innuendos."
Talent show- Little girl dancing to an inappropriate age song and lyrics, gesturing in a sexual manner and wearing clothing which is suggestive.
0.58 seconds - 2.06 seconds - Geena Davis speaks about Hyper sexualization of girls.
Genna says "what was really disturbing was that we found a lot of hyper sexuality of the female characters in TV and Movies aimed at little kids. Example: In G rated animated films. The female characters wear the same amount of sexually revelling clothing as the female characters in (R Rated) movies."
3.50 seconds - 4.37 seconds
Baby Brats dolls. We see here that the dolls are in fact dressed in sexy lingerie or the way a prostitute may dress. Are these the kind of dolls to give to your tiny child for imaginary role play?
Warning - The following screen shots depict self harm by youths
We have all loved or had an idol when we were growing up. We still do as adults. What kind of sick messed up world are the youths currently living in when they feel that they have to self harm including cutting themselves to prove their worthiness of being the biggest fan.
22.04 seconds - 22.17seconds
#Cutfor1D - Photo by fan of One Direction on Twitter. This is disturbing but Also seeing the people that ReTweeted it is also just as bad.
Justin Bieber Twitter Fan who is heart broken over the music idol doing weed cuts themselves and uses the hash tags #CutForBieber #CuttingForBieber.
This last screen shot is probably every parents worst nightmare. Not only would the teen require emergency medical care but also physiological care. This young girl wants to be a #belieber A believer of Justin who at the end of the day is just like any other youth except he has fame.
This young girl is obviously smart about drugs but is devastated about her Idol and wants to prove she is his biggest fan. Its an urgent cry for help.
Kids are so impressionable, They mimic what they see. This girl may have seen other people cutting them selves so impulsively decided in her mind that she would cut herself too.
On Twitter a young teen says #cut4justin Justin please, I beg you, stop smoking weed or i might actually kill myself. #beliebers.
24.08 - 25.26
This part of the video is really great. We seen Young girls discussing Nicki Minaj, The difference between pretty and sexy. The best news is that one of the girls talks about girls that have been altered to look pretty. These girls are very informed about the use of photoshop in media and magazines. Listening to these girls, there is hope for change.
This final part of the video we wanted to make you aware of, is what made us write this article in the first place. After viewing this stomach churning dance instructor and the parents who clearly know that it is wrong for their young daughters to be pretending to be nude on stage, are still willing to allow their 10 year old girls to participate in this dance. This is disgusting behaviour on the part of the dance instructor and the parents.
Sexualizing a child is inappropriate, ignorant and anyone responsible in feeding into this including parents of these children should be prosecuted straight up.
26.53-28.11
Caption reads:
"Parents are selling their daughters souls to these so called dance instructors who are doing nothing more than satisfying the fantasies of pedophiles."
The Dance instructor says to the girls "The audience should think that you are nude." The little girls and parents are totally shocked.
One dance mum says "No one ever wants to hear the word nude associated with 10 year old. EVER!"
Another parent says "Excuse me? I think I didn't hear that." Little 10 year old girl says "I don't want to be naked on stage." Another girl says "I'm only 11" holding her hand over her mouth in shock. The dance instructor tells the child "I Know, That's why you can get away with it."
She shows the girls how to look sexy by placing her hands on her boobs and private parts. Then goes on to encourage them by egging them on to think "I'm hot, I'm mean you cant have me, you cant afford me. It's crotch, boobs." The rest you need to watch for yourself if you can stomach it.
