And believe me, it is the same kind of slackness, ppl simulating all kinds of sex positions claiming to be dancing. Its just that here its not wildly &quot;advertised&quot; as most people are not &quot;youtubed in&quot; yet.

Hi Sukuna, long time </div></div>

As a kid I duck out at night and went to dances....But to be honest I have never been comfortable with dancehall and its ancestors in Jamaica.... That is just me... I know that adults did threaten to tell my parents I was there a fate worth than death. .( I recall praying for the cold war to go hot ratehr than them finding out)...

That children are tolerated is a reflection on us.... That people tolerate it is intolerable.. that parents allow it is wrong.. When I am in Jamaica and <span style="font-weight: bold">have </span>to go ah dance.. I usually go with a friend of mine a police man who has basically finds the promoter and tells him to get the children out.. Usually they comply without too much fuss.. this is just to demonstrate that there are people in Jamaica concerned about this issue... I have heard the argument that dance hall is part of our culture and I dont . In my estimation Dancehall is a reflection of Jamaica.. Both its creativity, its innovation its spirit and it entrepernuerial bent. There has been little regulation or application of regulation to control it...I find the noise polution, lack of crowd control, lack of fire regulation associated with it abominimal.. And I frankly dont see the attraction..

I dont want to apply any censorship to the lyrics. (I hate boom bye, bye and its ilk) as far as I am concerned anything goes in their just keep the children away and control the noise and where they take place....

In my very humble opinion...

The dances. The attitudes to the dances. The clothes (or lack thereof) the women wear. Is just a small part of a larger picture which is called &quot;The Moral Decline of Society&quot;.

There has been a high and saddening increasing in rapes of children as young as 6 years. Me thinks there may be a link.

Studies have revealed that a number of adolescents are using their cellphones to access Internet sites to download sexual content.

Hi-end phones can detect unblocked wireless networking, otherwise known as WiFi, which are being used by adolescents to navigate Internet sites and record explicit content, according to Marcia Forbes, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Mining and Telecommunications.

The revelation follows the current licensing of the 2.5 GHz, which is entirely for wireless broadband. Research conducted by Forbes <span style="font-weight: bold">revealed that adolescents between the age of 10 and 18 have used their cellphones to download music videos which, she said, influenced adolescent sexuality</span>.

Download

Forbes quoted Heather Horst and Dan Miller's transnational study, The Cell Phone: An Anthropology of Communication, which reported that adolescents used their phones to download sex positions.

&quot;<span style="font-weight: bold">A lot of adolescents access the Internet by cellphone and search for sex and sex positions</span>, so I am aware of the potential problems,&quot; she said.

&quot;But, I am acutely aware of the wonderful opportunities access to the Internet can allow children.&quot;

A technician at a high school in the Corporate Area, who preferred not to be identified, told The Gleaner that many students use their phones to access the Internet and download virtually anything.

&quot;They usually download pictures, photos and porn videos, and enter chat rooms and show their friends,&quot; he said.

<span style="font-weight: bold">He added that the students, age between 11 and 18</span>, used the hi-end phones or portable game devices to download or stream videos for free. Households and establish-ments which do not secure their wireless Internet connection with pass-words enable persons to take advantage of such 'hot spots', as they do not restrict the wireless signal to the house.

Pornography

<span style="font-style: italic">When Damien, a father of three, was asked if he knew his children could access the Internet using their phones, he replied: &quot;No I didn't know, but if I thought about it I would.&quot;</span>

Miranda Sutherland, president of the National Parent-Teacher Association of Jamaica, told The Gleaner that, like Damien, not many parents have considered how the cellphones they buy for their children could allow them access to the Internet.

Sutherland stressed that communi-cation was vital, but stated that the technology of some phones, if activated, could expose children to things such as pornography.

&quot;This is something we need to discuss with the parents and lobby with the phone companies. But, it has to be a parent's decision as to the type of phones they give to their children,&quot; she said.

No to 'daggering' parties for kids

No to 'daggering' parties for kids


The 'daggering' party for kids has to come to an end. That should be one of the New Year's resolution for the community that hosts such an event. The party is just not right.

The story published in The Star of January 2, highlighted how a party was staged for kids, where 'daggering' among the children, was the main attraction. Shockingly, the article noted that some of these kids were as young as eight years old.

Most persons Jamaica should know what 'daggering' is and what it suggests. There is no way that children should be allowed to carry on in this sort of way while adults cheer them on.

What do these adults think the next step would be for these kids, when they decide that 'daggering' is just not enough? What will the outcome be? More teenage pregnancies?

Adults need to realise that children's mimicking of certain adult-like behaviour or dances is inappropriate. So please, let us all take a more responsible role in raising our children this year.
