I agree with the point you're making and it is bloody weird. But not sure what offence has been committed that all. The little boy's haircut should be breaking the law for a start. But in seriousness...it's not on is it....Little ones shouldn't be sexualised. Once their hormones kick in as teenagers they can do what they want...as long as it's consensual and they aren't being exploited.

Spot on. Can you imagine the furore if this little lad performed such moves at the primary school's end of term disco? I can, it was called the Mini-Pops and it was unacceptable then. Children should not perform for the entertainment of adults in a manner that mimics adults without very careful consideration.

Parental negligence is one thing.....allowing their child to do this or be taught or learn to do it.....look how this child is dressed...They haven't just turned up and copied their surroundings...Something a responsible parent shouldn't be allowing anyway. Obscenity is another.....allowing a child to express adult sexuality. It is completely inappropriate at this age. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Aug 2017 10.05am) I'd say its inappropriate at any age below 16 at the very least.

If the mini-pops were twerking or copying highly sexual moves most definitely. Little kids dancing about....well, if it's harmless, it's harmless.

Just one day's worth of watching all the pop videos aimed at kids (not just teenagers) is enough to convince any parent that sexualisation of youngsters is a deliberate thing.

Yeah well there is nothing wrong with a 14 year old kid busting out some sexy moves at a school disco (or whatever) or in a video for an application something like a dance school (maybe even in a Dance School Performance). But for performance / entertainment - I think its getting into a questionable area, where we're commercialising child sexuality. The same applies to fashion etc we should maybe be restricting fashion retailers from 'adult clothing' aimed at children under the age of 16 (I recently saw what looked like a 12 year old girl in a cropped T-shirt emblazoned with a phrase was 'suggestive' of sexual experience.

There is a difference, maybe, where you have young adults performing like this for children, as opposed to children performing like this for an adult market. Personally, I find both ethically questionable practices.

Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Aug 2017 11.59am) The emphasis should be on allowing kids to be kids, and to grow up in their own time. Its bad enough being a slowly developing teenager without having adults pile on the pressure.
