Film Explores Childhood, Parenting in Sex - Porn Before Puberty?
Labels: 12YearsOld , Education , Music , National , Porn , SocialNetwork , Video
Forget birds and bees -- today's kids learn about sex from porn, pop lyrics and Facebook.
"Is this slutty?" Danielle, having just put on a skirt, asked her friend Winnifred. Lady Gaga's "Monster" played in the background. "Just dance but he took me home instead, Oh oh there was a monster in my bed," the girls sang along.
"That's a good length," Winnifred answered. "It's short, but in a cool way, not, like, a slutty way."
Winnifred and Danielle are modern-day 12-year-olds. But they're not playing dress-up -- they're getting ready for a Lady Gaga concert.
Winnifred carefully curates her online profile, pushing her budding sexuality to jack up her Facebook "likes."
The documentary "Sexy Baby," which was featured at the Tribeca Film Festival, follows Winnifred's adolescence from age 12 to age 15, and delves into the world of porn before puberty. Winnifred's journey in the documentary reflects that of many pre-teens today, and through her eyes parents worldwide get a glimpse into the hyper-sexualized culture their children are facing today.
"I know I look like I'm down to f---," Winnifred says in the film.
The film explores how much social media adds fuel to the hormonal fire. Winnifred posted a revealing picture of herself with her bra showing. Why?
"It's awkward, and we're getting messages from everywhere that are saying, 'If you dress this way, you are going to be either treated well or you're gonna feel powerful,'" Winnifred told
Sex is power, and that's how a lot of girls and boys seem to feel these days.
Winnifred's mother, Jenny Bonjean, is a feminist who says she's trying to raise an uninhibited, empowered girl.
"My message to my daughter is, sexuality is a wonderful, beautiful thing. You should embrace it. ... It's not the only type of power you're gonna have. Unfortunately, it is in the culture the first power that they feel ... where 13-year-old girls can have influences on grown men," Bonjean-Alpart said.
"You don't think they realize that?" she continued. "It feels good to have power. ... You don't want to abuse it. Don't take it for granted. You need to find a balance."
Winnifred's father, Ken Alpart, described the two reactions he and his wife have to balance.
"We don't necessarily want her to dress certain ways," he said. "At the same time, we are raising our child to be an independent thinker."
Jenny Bonjean argued that early freedom could help prevent extreme acting out later on.
"We all know those women that went to college that had really, really strict parents who didn't let them experiment with anything, and they went wild in college. ... Girls gone wild, you know, is a phenomenon, and so many of those girls come from households, in my opinion, where they were tamped down on."
The risk is that allowing a child too much freedom to express her sexuality can lead her to act on it.
"I can put a very sexualized photo of me on Facebook and make it so my parents don't know, but every guy at my school does," Winnifred said. "So that does become a self-fulfilling prophecy, because when you make yourself look a certain way, people are going to expect you to be that way."
"I can make your bed rock," Winnifred, then 12, sings in the film. The song is rapper Li'l Wayne's "Bedrock."
Did she and her friends know what the song was about?
"We did realize how obscene it was [when we sang it in the film]," Winnifred told Chang. "I think because it was so mainstream, it wasn't shocking to us. ... If you hear that song f---ing three times a day for two weeks, they're easy to understand -- even when you are 12 or 13."

Jayesslee - What Faith Can Do (Video)
Labels: Inspiration , Music , Religious , Video
Lyrics:
Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes
And make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it's more than you can take
But you're stronger
Stronger than you know
Don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason
For someone not to try
Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing
I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That's what faith can do)
When the world says you can't
It'll tell you that you can
I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
That's what faith can do
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Matthew West - Forgiveness
Labels: Forgiveness , Music , Video
Video Link
Lyrics:
It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve
It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have to say the word...
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'set it free'
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness
It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what its power can do
So let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness
I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness

FL - Vigilante Barbara Farris Plans For Nazi Style Sex Offender Village In Sorrento Florida

| Barbara Farris (Right) |
Vigilante Barbara never stops! She's been harassing ex-offenders for years now. Now she wants to start a Nazi style concentration camp? I think she's doing this for publicity myself. She saw the money that could be made from people exploiting their child's death, like John Walsh, Mark Lunsford, etc. Every site she has started, has eventually vanished, and she said she was going to have a reality show soon, so is this her stunt to get recognition? I think so. If you visit her web site "projecth4o.com", she claims she will evaluate the offenders, categorize them, etc. Who the hell does she think she is? She is NOT an expert, so what gives her the right to do this?

SORRENTO - A Tampa woman is planning to open a village within a Lake County town that would house sex offenders and predators--perhaps hundreds or thousands of them.
Barbara Farris (Videos of Her) said the town of Sorrento is a great place to re-locate registered offenders because of its distance from the hustle and bustle of places like Orlando.
- Did you tell the folks in Sorrento about your plan?
 |
| Barbara's Home? |
Farris recently started a company called SOS, which is short for Sex Offender Solutions. It provides registered offenders with housing, transportation, jobs and counseling.
- Oh, now she is stealing the name of SOSEN (Sex Offender Solutions and Education Network), and possibly Randy Young's site. I wonder if SOSEN can sue her for copyright issues? I guess the "Bee Aware" and her "reality show" didn't work out?
- Like most other things she starts, the video is now private and hidden from view.
When asked if the idea of a town for sex offenders could actually happen, Farris said she thinks it could.
"It's absolutely realistic," Farris said. "We've joined on with some people making it very realistic for us."
But many people in Sorrento didn’t agree.
"She might have a big fight on her hands if this happens," one resident said.Gregg Welstead, Director of the Lake County Conservation and Compliance Department, said the county does not have any specific rules related to this.
But the county relies on and follows the guidelines set in state statute with regard to distances that sex offenders can live from schools, parks and playgrounds, he said in a statement.
He also said there could be zoning issues or density considerations that might require a public hearing.
Farris said she has plans to open other housing villages in South Florida and California.
"The goal is to prevent another abduction, death or abuse," she said.
- Really? I think it's free publicity myself! And even if it wasn't, your Nazistic plan would not prevent another crime either.
"The Village" description:
This is a short documentary for one of my film classes. Barbara Farris is trying to move along her plans to build a 'Sex Offender Village' in Lake County, Florida only to be blockaded by the locals. Activism is still running rampant.

Eminem - Not Afraid
LYRICS:
[Hook]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody) come take my hand (come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let'n you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Intro]
Yeah, it's been a ride…
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
[Verse 1]
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ‘em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say ‘em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'mma do somethin' I do it, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me, so f--- the world
feed it beans, it's gassed up, if it thinks it's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if, ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still s----in' and whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he s---'s his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse he's married to the game, like a f--- you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth he's got the urge to pull his d--- from the dirt and f--- the whole universe
[Hook]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody) come take my hand (come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let'n you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Verse 2]
Ok, quit playin’ with the scissors and s---, and cut the crap
I shouldn’t have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that f--- your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact let’s be honest, that last Relapse CD was “ehhhh”
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain't playin’ around there's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't
This f---ing black cloud’s still follow’s me around
But it's time to exercise these demons
These motherf---ers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Hook]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody) come take my hand (come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let'n you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
[Bridge]
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'mma face my demond
I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
[Verse 3]
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And don't even realize what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of my world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise to focus solely on handling my responsibility’s as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and...
[Hook]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) to take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody) come take my hand (come take my hand)
We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let'n you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

Lyrics Below

LYRICS:
Come down to the river
Come and let yourself in
Make good on a promise
To never hurt again
If you're lost and lonely
You're Broken down
Bring all of your troubles come lay 'em down
All you sinners
And the weak at heart
All you helpless
On the boulevards
Wherever you are now
Whatever evil you've found
Bring all of your troubles
And come lay 'em down
We're all tied to the same old failings
Finding shelter in things we know
We're all dirty like corrupted small towns
We'll bring our troubles
We'll bring our troubles lay 'em down
All you rich men
And the high above
All those with And without love
All you burdened Broken down
Bring all of your troubles
Come lay 'em down
