happened
uh...
david patten show had david patten and dot com
david happened fidel
accompanied says the girl had told you a story about
branch of magazine putting out some highly sexualized pictures of a ten year
old model
and the controversy surrounding it
questions about whether this is appropriate
uh... about whether a ten-year-old girl should be shown in such sexualized
positions
what was your take on at least at that time i think he found this inappropriate
right
yeah brought to this first picture and said are doesn't seem that bad to me
benetton switch to another one and i said
that's the one i said okay
you found that one particularly disturbing
uh...
pretty disturbing it
and i i want to follow up on this not only because we have a couple of other
stories related to *** and child abuse interestingly enough
but because i've gotten so many emails about the sincerity me and said the
issue isn't just whether someone would or wouldn't be calm a ***
or whether a picture like this would encourage *** which i think most
of us don't think would be the case
the main issue according to sarah he's the over *** ization of young
children particularly girls because let's be honest with few exceptions it's
not happening with boys
and the appearance of these types of images says saira convey the message to
girls that their valued for being *** objects and when younger and younger
girls are portrayed in the media and sexualized ways
the are able to identify with these images and subsequently theirself image
is formed in accordance to those highly sexualized images which i think is a
great point and there's a number of documentaries about this including uh...
but jean kill born documentary by the media education foundation right
interned years ago
so there's a lot of research along those lines i think it's a good point it's not
just whether
pedophiles would come out of the woodwork because of these pictures which
is really than unlikely thing to happen
right yeah bears
their consequences for upriver curls as well
not just
data files but this could easily aroused
something in pedophiles it's possible yet but i don't think it's the main
concern karlsson wrote to me
saying that it's sad when he goes to his second grade science class in sees
female classmates of his using their clothing here styles
and incredibly makeup
even in second grade which is what about seven years old
to achieve the appearance of one of today's what kyle describes anorexic
models he sees no easy fix unfortunately and he think that this is going to be
with us for a while and that's a whole other later which is fine this isn't
going to bring pata files out of the woodwork
it is creating a situation where younger and younger girls find in need
semantic
the very heavy make-up over sexualized stuff that we are seeing no doubt not
just necessarily girls wanting to imitate that but
uh... parents mothers
dahl and her kids out because
they want them to look pretty what do you think is the main concern with this
new time do you think it is the possibility of bringing pedophiles out
of the woodwork
is it creating these images among girls is it creating is it that these are the
parents the problem in the sense that they're the ones who are addressing the
kids up in this way it there's so many issues with this it's it's hard to even
now
yeah i think the main problem is
the question of our bringing you know wire parents allowing their kids to do
this because that's you know the real important thing if that weren't the case
then it wouldn't matter if french vote was willing to publish this yeni
presumably
been wire seven-year-olds making their own decisions about makeup
and if they are not making their own decisions wire the parents allowing this
type of thing in terms of what kyle describes in particular right right
there's obviously a cut-off where
the parents have to step back and allow the children to make their decisions but
what they want to wear a clearly this is not paid region unaware that will happen
on think seven is that a jury i mean what you've got is his mother's living
vicariously through their children
well however speculating
we don't know that that's the the reasoning announcing that every case but
it's pretty common lou is making a lot of assumptions
