Do your own research... I get paid for that kind of work, and don't feel like doing it on my break.

(I'll try to look for some info later, but again, it's fairly common knowledge to anyone who's read anything about human sexuality)

True. Kinda like how smaller towns many times have raging drug problems. I'm just waiting for one or more of the Duggar kids to just lose it & become a stripper or porn star. That is, if the parents let them out of the house.

consider me sheltered, and I much appreciate it.

In Europe, they have hardcore pornography on the public channels after a certain time. I was at my friend's place, with his kids playing in the background...very conservative family. I just flicked on the TV innocently bored and immediately flicked it off. Caught me by major surprise.

I brought up the Real Sex channel, saying I was shocked to see something like that just come on my tv without my having to order it or anything. And it wasn't late. This says that a kid doesn't need to be abused to be exposed to adult behavior, it's everywhere. Children naturally mimic adults, like to pretend they are grownups, like to have secrets that other kids don't know, show them how smart they are.
This 5 year old is simply a product of this permissive, sexually obsessed society we live in.

Try reading that WHOLE string of the conversation, and it might make more sense to you. I didn't bring up HBO, I was only responding to a comment made by claudhopper... in fact, I was wondering the connection too!

It's not a channel, it's a series of documentaries - and they're on HBO, as you now know, which means you actually DID pay for it. You act like it was being shown on NBC primetime, for goodness sakes, when it's really a late-night (you were obviously mistaken, since it's specifically listed as late-night programming) cable series. It also started way back in 1990, so you can't call it "our modern times" either. Speaking of which, I was only 14 at that time, and survived its existence without becoming a hooker.

If a parent is concerned about their child seeing shows like this, they can choose not to purchase cable channels... they can also use the parental lock feature, or (crazy concept) try some actual PARENTING. Regardless, I think blaming television/media is a weak argument. And kids weren't all that innocent "back in the day" either, they just hid it better! But that's all irrelevant to this specific story, where the red flags suggesting abuse are going off big time. Totally different ball of wax.

I personally prefer to see kids remain completely ignorant of sex and playing with dolls and Legos until they're 13, if you ask me. There's absolutely nothing wrong with kids not learning anything about real sex until they're fairly old. I personally think kids should be discouraged from any self experimentation, but not in a crazy way, angry way. Just saying "no" is plenty. Kids need to have a childhood - childhood movies, nice things. When sex enters into childhood, no matter how, I think things are bound to go VERY BAD. My parents used the locked door method of being together. Sometimes they'd be in the bedroom locked, we'd knock and yell, but they'd be in there, all nice and locked in. We thought they were arguing silently.
Once upon a time, a long time ago......................that's how children grew up.

Today, with children going to nursery and pre-school, many parents need to instill the "good touch, bad touch" rule. It's unfortunate, but seems necessary with the direction society has taken. Many parents believe teaching their children "right from wrong", and a bit more as they get older, at an early age is necessary. Too many children are exposed to far more than they should be. I bet there are many parents that will be adding something relative to this to the "right from wrong" teaching. What does it say about society when condoms and the day after pill (must be 14!!!) is being handed out in high school?

Children have been robbed of their childhood. When I was 13 (back in the dark ages ) I was probably still playing "mommy", not thinking about becoming a mommy. I guess we kids were just plain "slow" back then.
