The sexualizing of children has a long history. Remember Jon-Benet Ramsey (hope I spelled that right)? Child beauty pageant winner, ended up murdered. But there was a lot of fuss about the child beauty pageants after that story broke. As there should be. They made up those little girls to look like high-class hookers (make up, dresses, hair, heels). If you ask me, those pageants should be banned. There is no nudity, but it is blatant sexualizing of minors. In my book, that isn't cool.

News organizations usually blur-out the images of minors. Perhaps we could require the same thing for social media. Parental consent or not, you can't post pictures of your kids that aren't blurred. Normally I wouldn't say that is necessary, but if what apparently is happening on FB is true, then we should put a stop to the whole thing. Yes, it punishes some folks who aren't doing anything wrong, but it stops the questionable behavior in its tracks.
