[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These parents who have tween and teens who are getting freaked out probably and most likely see much worse than that in their school or behind the bleachers.

We live in an era of iPhones where it takes 5 seconds to find raunchy stuff to look at.

Yet these geezers are mad about a show that would’ve been “outrageous” back in 1989.

It goes to show how out of touch society is. [/quote]

Sorry, but good parenting involves shielding your kids from this crap for as long as possible.  Kids are very impressionable at young ages.  My 12 year old just got her phone a few months ago.  She doesn't have access to youtube, safari, or any social media apps.  The media is very controlled.  When I am ready for her to be exposed to more, I will.  That superbowl show took us totally off guard.   Not what I was hoping for her to be watching at such a young and innocent age.

Yes, there are 12 year olds who are already on social media and doing all sorts of crap.  I don't care.  My kid is still a kid.  And the NFL failed us with this show.[/quote]

You are the one failing her.

She watches her friends phones, btw. You have not shielded her. You’ve just taught her to Do it behind your back.[/quote]

And this is exactly why we have such bad parenting today. If you really think the only way to parent is to just say "oh well, they are going to go ahead and do it anyway. I might as well let them," you are beyond foolish. Of course kids are going to get into things behind our backs but you still set the bar high. You have standards for them. You don't give them a free pass to just do whatever they want.[/quote]

No. You make rules and realize they will be broken and deal with it. If you believe her 12 year old has never looked at YouTube with a friend you are delusional.[/quote]

Oh please...of course she looks at YouTube.  I let her under supervision.  She is free to watch it on our family room TV.  But you know what she watches?  Minecraft videos, animal shows, Star Wars, and Marvel.  She has never worn a stitch of makeup.  This is what I mean by keeping them young.  She is a happy kid and I want to keep it that way as long as possible.[/quote]
