Part of the problem, Walker said, is not enough parental supervision. Also, "A lot of it is culture — a culture with a great deal of violence and sex. It gives children a sense that this is a lifestyle, and it is an acceptable lifestyle, and that there are not consequences. Without the family network to counteract that, these children learn the hard way."

Sounds as if at least one of these kids actually had a father in his life, but evidently not the sort of "family network" the judge had in mind.

"These are 10 year-olds, you wouldn't even think they know about such things,"

Ever watch MTV or BET, lady?

"These are 10 year-olds, you wouldn't even think they know about such things,"

Thanks Bill Clinton.

Good Lord. Words fail me.

More of Clinton's legacy?

One boy told police that the other brought body lotion with him to aid in the attack.

Butt it wasn't premeditated...

Ah, the gift of MTV just keeps on giving......

(MTV banned in my home for well over 18 yrs, or at least as long as I think we've had cable)

I don't remember being able to get or sustain an erection at 10 years of age, nor do I remember having sexual thoughts at that age (I now have six children).

What has happened to kid's these days that has them on this track?

Could it be "television"? (SATAN!)

[P-Chan Penny]

Not enough supervision is an understatement.

At 10 years old I didn't have a clue about sex and couldn't have cared less. At 10, in 1951, I had other things going on in my life. This is so shocking. Culture has become so degraded I really feel for parents trying their best but they are swimming against the tide. So sad.

Really....remember oral sex is not sex

One could argue that WWII was Armageddon. (What would the Rapture look like to the ones not called? Maybe the Holocaust???) And regardless of who won in the temporal world Satan won the spiritual battle, and now has his 1000 year reign.

It didn't say oral sex, did it?

[America's Resolve]

Same here. I told my family that the first time I saw MTV or VH1 on the screen, a brick would be thrown through it. Those channels are PURE POISON!

[FormerLib]

It didn't specify the type of sodomy but it was the escapades of Kaiser Willie that made "oral sex isn't really sex" part of the modern culture.

[Kimba]

Interesting theory, but I believe Revelations has a few things still left undone.

[Robert_Paulson2]

they brought lotion.
it wasn't ORAL.

[Integrityrocks]

MTV couldn't survive if prayer was allowed back into the public sector.

You ain't kiddin' we're swimming against the tide. This is what I went through recently:
All 5 of my kids are in a private Christian school. My 15 year old daughter had a required reading book from history class called, The State of the Arts: From Bezalel to Mapplethorpe. Knowing who Mapplethorpe is (a pornographer) I picked the book up to see what my daughter would need to know about that freak. Chapter 1, page 1 discusses Mapplethorpes photo of a man urinating into the mouth of another man. I kept reading and found "Annie Sprinkle's performance art consisting of masturbating on stage, then inviting the patrons to come up and view her genitalia with a flashlight."

The school defends the book, saying the kids need to be instructed in what is not "Christian art." I'm of the opinion any idiot could figure that out and our kids will not be going back to that school.

You try so hard to protect your kids from smut but it's being thrown in their faces at every possible chance.
