The Be THAT Mom Movement Podcast: Protecting kids in a digital world
Kids & Family:Parenting
If you are wondering if Netflix is promoting pedophilia and hyper-sexualization of our kids with this Cuties movie, hold the remote and listen to this first!!
This is an excerpt from a September 15, 2020, Washington Post Op-Ed by Maïmouna Doucouré, the writer and director of the movie “Cuties.”
“We, as adults, have not given children the tools to grow up healthy in our society. I wanted to open people's eyes to what's truly happening in schools and on social media, forcing them to confront images of young girls made up, dressed up and dancing suggestively to imitate their favorite pop icon. I wanted adults to spend 96 minutes seeing the world through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl, as she lives 24 hours a day."
"I made 'Cuties' to start a debate about the sexualization of children in society today so that maybe — just maybe — politicians, artists, parents and educators could work together to make a change that will benefit children for generations to come. It's my sincerest hope that this conversation doesn't become so difficult that it too gets caught up in today's 'cancel culture.'
-- Maïmouna Doucouré
