If your child has any form of social media, and you aren't monitoring it, there's a 99% chance that a pedophile is either talking to your kid and influencing them to do inappropriate things, or they are recording everything your kid does. Also remember: Just because something says "kid friendly" or has a "kids account" option, doesn't mean it's safe for children. In fact, that's most likely where the predators lurk.

I go to a mall with a friend to grab something to eat and there we see bunch of girls who are probably 12-15 at best, all done with makeup and wearing those booty-lifting leggings. I don't appreciate seeing that even in women in my dating range (20-30), let alone young girls. Plus, I hate myself for even looking at them, but it's from a place of concern, not sexual attraction. I know whenever I see something like that, I always think to myself what the hell are their parents doing. Luckily, I live in a bit more conservative environment so it's not that bad, but I still hate it when I see it. These kids are in for so much pain later on in their lives. This video didn't even mention ruining children's attention spans, because they get used to short clips that generally last less than 10 seconds. And then they can't even pay attention properly in school. When you are used to receiving the entire information in 10 seconds, a 45-minute class seems like an eternity because your brain likes patterns.

Not so - MTV didn't show a lot of videos due to content...many of which became popular songs anyway. Eg. 'Girls on Film' by Duran Duran & several songs by Motley Crue, Queen, Prince.

You are so right about this kind of stuff. My daughter had a proper childhood and, thankfully, didn’t have to cope with this sexualisation of young girls but if I had a young daughter now I would 100% do whatever was needed not to let her be corrupted by this mindset. I think It’s harmful to girls’ self-esteem to feel valued only by being sexually attractive. There are so many other facets to being an attractive female and also think it harms boys as they start to perceive girls only as sexual objects which leads to them being dysfunctional too.

Lyrics of songs, especially current pop and rap, definitely influence them to be more open to doing these activities... it may have a cool rhythm or beat, and you may say or think you just ignore the lyrics because you like the way the beat and rhythm are, but your brain hears the words and they do affect you subconsciously without your choice.

I grew up in the "Bible Belt" Even as far back as the 80's, stories of "wild s^x" were around with the girls (usually starting around soph in HS year, but some as far back as 8th grade). 2 soph girls w/ 2 senior boys in same SUV and they switched. (and no, not "white trash" at the time, but rather 4 who were among the popular crowd) just talked about tho...no internet yet, so obviously no social media either. I can only imagine whats its devolved into in this day and age...

I'm a teacher and I have been to GREAT extents of talking about the dangers and horrors social media apps have on kids, and not only had serious talks with teenage girls and parents, but even whole classes in social class studies or society class that what they do and uploads can and will at some point down the road create consequences, and sleezy stuff will defenitly bite your backs. And also warnings about disgusting pedophiles goes for that and that they can be put at dangerous risks.

literally you can see it on the streets, and parents seem not to care. How you would let your pre teen girls even in the neighborhoods walk around in some short shorts, to a swimsuit when not in a pool is just out of this world, is sickening and disgusting. No wonder social media is just expanding it to worse proportions.

Dunno how old bro is but same for me, I’m 37, was in jr high in what, 99/00, whatever. I remember 13 year old girls talking about how they did this or that with a high schooler. I remember one that said she lost her virginity at 11. None of us had smart phones or anything. I’m from my town, knew some people from that town and that town, that’s it. I know some kids that had this or that issue, drugs, sex, jail. How many kids did I know, maybe a 100 overall, most just by name and seeing them around school, soccer etc. Now, you’re (we) seeing everyone else’s 100 person circle. A big ass venn diagram of our social circles overlapping and we see everyone’s sexually explicit friend, violent friend, druggie friend, x, y, and Z. They were always there, you just never saw it. OP saw it, I saw it. Now we just see each others. But, it isn’t new, it didn’t come from social media, though amplification may be an argument. Society wasn’t more pleasant before with no teens being exploited etc. Read into history in a social extent. Just even look at the big events, Manson for example, forget the murders. Runaway kids doing drugs meeting older people having sex. Look before that in the 20s 30s 40s 50s in NYC how teens were. If you’re like me and have a grandpa/grandma ask them. Gramps dropped out of school before 8th grade, hung out in the city, did work, met girls, drank, gambled, hopping fences running from cops, hustled.. at 13/14.

Me being 38 I can tell you this isn't all that new. Being 12 I played truth or dare, the only difference is social media has a wider which scares me. Kids should be kids with kids and not have such a public platform.

3:18-3:20 😂😂😂👏👏👏 love your response. As a parent of a now-adult daughter, social media was a big concern for me. The fact that she was being raised in a broken family with potentially differing rules and parenting styles only made it more concerning. I strove for a reasonable balance, focused more on open communication with my kids, and thankfully we made it through the years with positive results. #1 recommendation is set reasonable boundaries, talk to your children even if they don't seem to be listening (in this case, make the talks short, but more frequent), but most of all, show them respect and love. Be a positive role model!

My daughter didn’t get to have any social media until she was almost 17. A couple of months after she got into that world she thanked me for not allowing her to have it at a young age. She is very open with me and showed me the snaps and vids the girls at school were sending out and I was disgusted! Disgusted with the parents! 😢

I've heard horror stories of girls in schools posting scandalous stuff on social media AND EVERYONE IN SCHOOL SEEING IT! The stories don't end well for those young women. The internet never forgets. TOO DANGEROUS FOR KIDS!

Young girls need to constantly hear from all the adults in their life that this is not the way. Tik Tok is full of creeps just begging to get anything they can from these girls. Also, they must know that there is no good, logical reason to tie your self-esteem to likes on Tik Tok, or any site.

Taught briefly before going full time in comic books, & was blown away by how rare it was to see parents that had any idea what their students were doing at all, even homework was an outside variable

We all have been subconsciously hypnotized by the establishment, hidden subliminal sexual images and words from Disney cartoons and movies and all the entertainment/musicians, actors, music videos education curriculum, etc.......we've been groomed to think that this is normal. Thanks for putting this issue in the spotlight!

I dont have any kids and I am an adult secular male. And I usually have no issues with explicit material. The content on youtube became really extreme recently. Extreme for *ME* as a childless adult secular male! I get borbarded with see-through-clothes ads, tape-models and bikini-yoga on youtube (I do search for yoga sometimes so maybe thats on me?). And I think its all very recent because youtube (dont know about ig didnt use it for a decade) was not so explicit few months ago - something changed really recently. Untill recently youtube was sfw.

They spoke about this in congress recently. How the algorithm for KZread, Instagram, tik tok, and Facebook is predatory and literally spoon feeding harmful/inappropriate content to users (ESPECIALLY children) You are not safe from it, no one is safe from it.

I truly blame our legislators because they are so afraid to go against private business, and they clearly have no grasp of what these platforms are doing. They have a vague idea, but they’re not interacting with it on a daily basis and it’s past their generation we need laws to stop these platforms from doing this kind of thing.

Thank you. We already knew this but it is good to be reminded now when our 8 yr old is starting to try out cresting her first steps of tiny drama to get my old phone, but luckily we have already talked about getting a smart watch instead because one of her friends has one. That or just nothing.

I'm 55 & my Mom DID take me to the neighborhood pub in the early 1970s...trust me, it was way more family friendly than today's (anti) social media! My greatest memories are the "Shirley Temple" mocktails, with extra fruit & fancy umbrella, specially prepared just for me by the tuxedo-clad older bartender. Just hanging with my folks & our neighbors, listening to the jukebox, made me feel like a special little Lady... it's so sad and ironic how things have changed. 😢

Very well said and as a father of 2 girls who are both adults now I hope they listened to me when younger. Great message but too late for this generation.

Unfortunately schools got their hold on kids for the majority of the day. Their they are taught, shown and pushed to learn about sexuality. Let's not forget to mention the friends with uncaring parents they have pushing it in your kids face.

Excellent video. Need to increase awareness of this. Is not without serious long term problems

It seems really hard, exploring this new world for parents of teenagers today. Harder than previous generations, as we can all see how damaging social media, and phone and internet/wifi access in general is. But it also seems a bad idea to socially ostracise your child by giving them a flip phone.

The internet and social media ruined society. Young kids / teenagers , even some 30 year olds don't know how to communicate because of it.

The sexualization of children is at the core of feminism….this is what they have been pushing for decades. What we need is parents who will say NO to their children….adults willing to actually be adults, and take responsibility for their kids. My wife and I wouldn’t allow our daughters to follow the influences of their friends….and no cell phones until they were older. We monitored what they did, and did a lot of things as a family. They have both grown into mature, intelligent, talented, and highly educated women. They thanks us often for not allowing them to be like their friends.

I no longer allow them to communicate. The little girl's family now calls us racist for taking this action. If the choice is between allowing my child to be food for predators while promoting low self-esteem and being called a racist, I will be called a racist. Not to be confused with actual racism.

I found out about this walking around the subdivision and a bunch of like 10yo's were doing like a dance routine in the driveway to some trashy music. It was this huge WTF moment, and they grabbed their phone and ran in the garage, and I never saw them do that again. Somewhere, somehow I hope they realized that if I saw that, and they upload it, that everyone would see it. What a mess tiktok has created.

My daughter is 21 now. I am divorced and the co-parenting was a nightmare. I was against her getting a phone until she was 15 or 16. At the the time, selfies of young people nude were being shared. No matter, my ex-wife snuck buying her a phone at age 12. My daughter still won’t talk to me to this day because I found the phone and took it away. I’m not kidding, minimal contact for the Last 7 years. I only received one communication from her when she was 16 and slid her car into a fence during a snow storm. She called me first because he said she was scared of her Mom and how she would respond to the car vehicle damage. Present day, my daughter attends an elite university and has blocked me 5 months and I have no idea why. I suspect, it was orders from the old sarge(ex-wife) to ghost me because I am so evil.

Every parent should see this! Thank you for the exposure. Awareness is key.

no ban needed, just parenting.

Thank you. I wish every parent would hear this.

Saying “especially young girls” is interpreted as “they are the only ones that matter” as if we are just completely over looking the young men being damaged. We need to take a stand against ALL underage individuals being exploited. Not just one side. This makes it easier for predators to make victims of the younger men because people like you want to over look the males being victims too. Look in the comment section of any report of a female teacher being caught with an underage male. It’s disgusting.

Was a teacher in the late aughties and the things my grade schoolers were doing on then vanishing MySpace and other blogs was jaw droppingly alarming. They were 11 or 12 years old. Can’t even comment on what some of the 4th graders were doing. One of the many reasons I left education. The writing has been on the wall for a while.

We have lowered the cultural bar as to what is acceptable in an effort to be “inclusive” of various ideas and attitudes which come from subcultures that are obsessed with perceived status, immediate gratification and disinterest in the future.
