A mother doesn't care about her child because they have "Juicy" on their bottom? And that would make them a higher target for a pedophile? Seriously?!? I do agree that a lot of the clothing available for little girls is inappropriate (does a 3 yr old need a crop top & mini skirt?) but saying a child is a target because they have words written on their bottom is going a bit far. A pedophile will target any child they feel attracted to regardless of what they're wearing. And just because a child is wearing questionable clothing doesn't mean their mother doesn't love them.
I was also a little ticked at their conversation regarding children & television. If you don't like the programming TURN IT OFF, use parental controls, or get rid of the tv. I'm really sick of being told that the world should cater to those 18 and under. As an adult I should be able to choose what I watch and there should be programming available should I choose to watch something that isn't educational or has violence or has an 'edgy' topic. Why should what's on my tv be suitable only to those who use the tv as a babysitter instead of encouraging their child to play outside or, gasp, use their own imaginations?
I also agree with Whoopi that things aren't as free as they were when she was younger. So much is now regulated, or PC'd to death that we're living in a time when you have to tiptoe around because someone might be offended that you dared to have a differing viewpoint or lifestyle.
Personally, I appreciated Whoopi's moderation today. Laura was launching into that Bill O'Reilly style of verbal road rage that seems to be so popular on FOX. I liked that Whoopi shut her down, and got her points across. Now, if somebody could only do that with Bill.
Much of the clothing for little girls that is in stores today is very inappropriate. I hate to see kids with writing across their backsides.
Laura was there as a guest host and Whoopi was pretty rude to her. If you invite a lady to appear, then give her some time to talk without cutting her off.Quote:

While they were saying that some of the clothing young girls wear is inappropriate, the point was what would keep a pedophile from THINKING that the mother doesn't care and target that child.Quote:

If they hear from enough people they will change.
JTT is the first thing i thought of when i heard the name too :)Quote:
