However, in light of this article I can see the merits of that argument. I do think that the objectification of "children" has been hidden behind the mask of Hollywood's desire to seek the next "young & beautiful" star. It is apparent that actors/actresses landing the main roles in movies or tv shows are getting younger and younger. Consider the stars of shows like I love Lucy to Taxi to Fresh Prince of Bel Aire and now Hannah Montana. Perhaps it is superficial and simplistic to believe that these trends are only a result from the youth-is-beautiful perspective. It is wise to take a moment to observe the more severe effects of this trend. However, this is a difficult battle to address. After all, how would you regulate or prevent phedophiles perverting images of children in the media? Some actors that play teens are actually well over the age of 18. While others are under the age of 18 but appear much older. Moreover, for the rest of society, no one sees these shows/movies as a problem since it's subtle. Considering these variables it is difficult to come up with a briteline standard to help battle the emerging issue of mainstream media feeding pedophilia. Nonetheless, recognition and promoting awareness, as this article does, are steps in the right direction.

If you do not have that distorted mentality, you are likely going to see this as "no big deal." Even I didn't realize the potential for movies such as "Little Miss Sunshine" to provide pedophiles with a legal way to objectify children, but, like most other things, I feel keeping our kids from these things is the resonsibility of the parent. We live in a secular world and things are only going to get worse. It is up to families to take personal responsibility to keep their children from viewing this material and doing all we can do legally to try to keep certain things from being put on the air. What is truly sad are the children who have parents who don't care or don't have the time to tell their children these are not the things to do (have premarital sex, etc.) They are the ones that usually slip through the cracks and are the easiest prey for pedophiles.
