Things preteens talk about...

[AJ65]

So beloved 11 yo daughter tells me that a female musician she was 'sort of' interested has been accused of 'raping' another female artist - says it was a Twitter thing... She's not on Twitter, but friends told her about it.

I looked it up and it's a pretty bizarre story, but should I discuss it further with my daughter or just leave it alone?

How do you protect children from this stuff? Even without accessing the platforms where the awful content occurs; it seeps through in their chat!!

If she’s brought it up, I would discuss it with her. Agree with you though, no matter what you do, they do get to hear about some pretty strange stuff.

Melanie Martinez I take it.

Yes I'd talk to her about it it's s good chance to talk about consent and how you don't have to do anything you don't want to just to make someone else happy.
