to not even consider paedophiles when I watch this Youtube video

A Facebook 'friend' has posted this link and made a comment along the lines of 'and they wonder why paedophiles are running wild'.

She's a cute kid with a good voice. Not inappropriately dressed or inappropriately dancing. I really see nothing wrong with it.

Am I alone?

Didn't give me paedo concerns but it did make me boak and I had to stop watching after about 2 minutes

JeezyOrangePips · 08/12/2012 20:43

Hahaha, yeah, I can see why you'd feel like that!

I just wonder about the mentality of someone that looks at that and equates it with sex.

Some people need to get a grip. Your fb 'friend' is definitely one of them.

pushy parent concerns rather than anything sexual. horrible voice. get her a singing teacher.

Agree Jeezy - there was nothing sexual in it at all

Odd for someone to make that link

FreakySnuckerCupidStunt · 08/12/2012 20:55

Even if there was something sexual about it, how on earth would that encourage people to be pedophiles? Stinks of victim blaming to me; children dressed 'sexily' encourage adults to be pedophiles/abuse them.
Xmas Hmm

I don't agree with her - don't think paedophilia has anything to do with kids being presented as adults - but is she not referring to the choice of song more than anything?
"All I want for Christmas is you" is a love song about wanting a man for Christmas is it not? Sample lyric: "cause I just want you here tonight holding on to me so tight"

catgirl1976geesealaying · 08/12/2012 20:59

Well yes.........you could present a child in the most sexual way possible but it wouldn't turn anyone into a paedophile

The comment is bonkers and victim blamey

catgirl1976geesealaying · 08/12/2012 20:59

Not saying you should do that of course, just that even if you did.....

you see what I mean I hope

Fork if you listen to the whole clip she's changed the lyrics to daddy he's all she has her mum died

Paedophiles don't want children dressed/acting like adults. They want children. The clue is in their name.
