Reply #2: Look, this may sound really stupid to some, but there's a whole trend

toward pushing little kids into situations and styles of dress and behavior that they aren't not only ready for, but really shouldn't be having to worry about at their age.

Ever see Disney Channel? These little girls that they have on there are not only 'rock stars' but even the ten year olds look like junior street walkers. And Disney has a habit anymore of depicting adults as morons who are always being rescued by their kids. So the kids not only don't respect adults, they think they're all idiots as well. (Although I admit, this is not new.)

I don't condone the behavior of this kid at all. But what they're being exposed to anymore is definitely a factor. And don't start me on video games.
