If it is immoral and unhealthy for adults to put children into sexual situations because children are not yet capable of understanding the complicated nature of such situations, then how is it that children are legally put into sexual situation in photography and film?
Bastard Out of Carolina is one of the most extreme examples that I have seen in which a child ‘actor’ is involved in scenarios during filming that are overtly violent and sexual (there are a multitude of others). How is it that someone can have the psychological capacity to simulate being raped and molested but is not capable of being involved in actual positive (non-predatory) sexual situations?
I am not advocating adult/child sex. I am trying to understand what seems to be an extreme lack of awareness and resultant hypocrisies in United States culture.
