This is really, as I've said before, so, so significant.
It is now, or so it seems, acceptable, legal and moral for the media to print stories about children, to praise them for breaking the law, to encourage them to do so with hard cash and celebrity, to ruin lives openly and without shame.
You want child abuse? Rebekah Wade and Rupert Murdoch are doing it today. |

You see Emma - a parent of a teenage daughter is legally responsible for her. Therefore if they own the house and invite ( e.g allow to stay ) a boyfriend so that they commit illegal sexual acts on the premises I cant see how that is not the same as a brothel owner ?
Yes my tone may be Tabloid - but the facts speak for themselves. There is something deeply unpleasant going on in society where parents dont mind 12 year olds having sex under their roofs and in fact according to the one boyfriend encouraged it.
Sad to say much of the "footage" that is considered Child Porn is gathered in such houses by discreet webcams - with parents making money out of their children. There was a big case in Watford that did this ( did not make the media ) where the kids were sleeping with their parents friends and being filmed and not realising what was happening - they were earning alot of money out of this.
If this continues it is only a matter of time before young teenagers and pre-pubescents start to cash in on their home PC and webcam by setting up paypal accounts for live footage from their homes - in fact it could be happening already for all we know. Society is as JK says destroying itself.
We need to allow kids to be kids and take the pressure to have sex at an ever younger age off them - and remind them it is better for a loving relationship and that it is an adult thing to do. Of course kids will be curious - and even some level of experimentation will occur. |

Hi Al !..I agree..Alfie is just a little guy who did what many teenagers do..nature dictated and the birds and the bees etc etc.
What bugs me is that not only was it illegal ( a complete fantasy as it ignores that people will do what comes naturally) but adults attempted to profit out of the escapade.
The whole Alfie story..to me..is a parable for what passes today as the "media" !
Let's not forget we have a 14/15 year old kid who it appears is a little behind his peers yet newspapers jumped in and attempted to profit off a pretty mad tale(not unusual)
I really mean it...where is Alfie today mentally ? I reckon we have a not too clued in kid who has been decimated and demoralised by the vile media.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong for Alfie's sake. |

Spot on again Emma - GET A GRIP is a three word correct view of the entire situation.
Society needs to get a grip. Humanity needs to get a grip.
We are all losing the plot. |

You should write for the tabloids, BR. There is a difference between inviting boys to sleep with your daughter and turning a blind eye if they do so, and it's quite normal to ask if someone had a good night. I regularly ask people that question just after they get up. There is no actual evidence of anyone intentionally pimping their child, but with carefully chosen wording you can make ordinary behavious sound quite sensational.
Kids, sometimes younger than Alfie, have been having sex for generations. It used to be called "experimenting". It's also nothing new for a schoolgirl to become pregnant. Maybe it's not the right way to behave, but it happens. When my mothers schoolfriend became pregnant it wasn't reported, but she was taken out of school until after the birth, because of her family's embarrassment. When my school friend became pregnant, nobody made a fuss and she carried on as normal. Now it gets to be headlines. The tabloids have sensationalised normal human behaviour and created a false morality. We all just need to get a grip. |
