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

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

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.
