My first problem is with what the media has done to this girl. I am willing to bet (even though I haven't seen the film) that the scene is not half as bad a what the media have portrayed. They are focusing on the fact that she is "only 12". I was a 12 year old girl once and I have a 12 year old daughter. I can not even imagine my daughter doing the things I was doing at 12. But we are different people. I was drinking and smoking and kissing boys at 12. My daughter won't even admit to thinking a boy is cute or take a sip of my wine at the dinner table. The media should not have made such a big deal about this. If anything, the role she played will not be nearly as psychologically damaging as all of the negative press. If everywhere this child turns she sees her name associated with tag lines like "it was wrong", "it was child abuse", etc. then that is what she herself is going to start believing. There are plenty of children who are living this REAL LIFE nightmare everyda. Maybe the press should spend a little more time bring attention to that! <BR/><BR/>Dakota strikes me as a mature child who should not be stereotyped. She also should not be used as a cause for political figures to step in and try to put futher controls on artistic expression under the guise of doing what is best for "so and so".lgodbouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804193766481827098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450259.post-12206315804940450442007-01-26T19:48:00.000-08:002007-01-26T19:48:00.000-08:00That's really scary....That's really scary....Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184376296170156579noreply@blogger.com
