I think that blaming a CHILD for thinking and acting like a CHILD is kind of pointless.

You have a real point here- where were these girls parents? Why were they not raised to value themselves and their bodies? Why on earth would you let a fourteen year old walk around butt nekkid?

But at the same time, I think you are blaming those girls, and that is unfair. They are CHILDREN. The responsibility for acting with restraint and care lies with the ADULT men.

I don't care how big her chest is, the moment a fourteen or fifteen year old open their mouth, you know that they are not full-grown, mature adults. Their thoughts and attitudes are mostly immature and/or unformed and you can SEE that. Any man who says he did not is lying, or has blinded himself to his own moral culpability in the situation.

It is up to grown ass people to act like it, and sometimes that means taking RESPONSIBILITY for the harm that you do, no matter how many millions of records you have sold.

As I peruse thru the many opinions written about Kelly I ponder the question is a man guilty when he is misled? I teach 13-14+ year olds ;many of which look older than I do! I have seen girls actually flirting with the men in my building (and getting rejection but they still persist might I add). They wear halter tops, tight skirts, daisy dukes...you name it they wear it. Keep in mind they bring extra clothing to school to change without the parents knowledge. Some parents mind you don't care and buy the clothes for them! I digress..... I feel that some men are doomed from the beginning. Some tell them no and some of the girls are so trifling that they lie just to get even. Others truly don't know these girls ages. You have your dirty old men but let's keep it real. If a man asks how old are you and you say 18 and you look like you are 18 some men are not smart enough to conversate first then get the "draws" second. I digress..... In his case, I think it is a case of revenge. C'mon suing for $50,000? Does that really make sense? Where were the parents when this child dropped her panties? Where is the moral value of teaching a girl how to be a lady? I didn't hear of her resisting any sexual advances either? We have a lot of GROWN women caught up with the idea of "I slept with a celebrity" so what makes us think that this girl or any cheez-chaser is any different. I am not saying he doesn't have a fetish for young girls,I'm saying that with his popularity comes the price of fame. Whatcha think?
