IMO, the adults are being abusive by allowing their children to be in those circumstances unprotected.
You touched on it, and I agree with you.
Further, the tide of the entertainment industry has gone very dark over the last 15 years or so.
With the driving forces behind the industry, one can scarcely wonder why.
It’s as if the industry is driving an urge to exploit individuals as young as possible, teens, early teens, and beyond downward.
I agree with all of that. It seems that in every type of performance, the trend is for ever-younger children to be presented as sex objects.
