A recent New York Times article goes in-depth to report on moms who manage Instagram accounts for their pre-teen daughters modeling clothes that draw pedophiles in droves. There ought to be a law!

What is wrong with these mothers? They KNOW what kinds of “men” are drawn to these sites. And it doesn’t seem to bother them in the least. And the youngsters aspire to be big-time “influencers” or “creators” as the more du jour term labels them. The sexualization of 11- and 12-year-old girls is, unfortunately, nothing new. Women who apparently have no life push their offspring into compromising situations in the pursuit of vicarious fame and fortune. A decade or two ago it was beauty contests. Now it’s social media coverage. Or, perhaps, UNcoverage.

It seems that segments of American society have shown that decadence is now fashionable and concepts like integrity and morality no longer have meaning. Caligula’s Rome is being surpassed as the exploitation of immature girls is allowed free rein.
