I know this has gotten long but I wanted to see what many of you think. I know many of us are more "open minded" but what about this case? Should your kids be aloud to dress as they please? Or do you think these clothes little girls are wearing are out of hand?

Wings,

First let me say your Avatar is awesome. Second I couldn't agree more with what you say.

I think the parents should definitely take an active roll in what their children wear. I also don't think they should let their boys wear pants down around their knees. I don't think children should even be allowed to think about dating until they reach 16 years of age unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. If they attend parties there must be responsible adult supervision.

I believe deterioration of morals has a lot to do with society today. Whatever makes you feel good, do it, is wrong in my opinion. These kids just don't care what anyone thinks of them, especially adults.

I also think they should allow more corporal punishment by teachers and parents without the fear of being reported to some damn government agency for child abuse. Kids used to have much more respect for what adults had to say and also what adults thought about them. The "do gooders" have helped ruin that.

One more point. I don't think perverts should be allowed to hang around WEB sites like MY SPACE. How do you police that? They have taken some steps recently but I don't know how effective they will be. On the other hand, I also think using entrapment in trying to catch these perverts is wrong. So now what? My suggestion would be, as you say, more parental involvement in the use of PCs.

Anyway, I agree with you.
