The video displayed in the tweet is a Tik Tok of two adult women teaching what appears to be a female toddler to twerk while onlookers recorded and encouraged the behavior in the middle of New York City.

The video has what sounds like a robotic voice overlaying the footage, which says, “We all need this confidence in life.”

There are no circumstances in which this behavior would ever be acceptable, and it sickens me that I even have to write about this topic. However, I feel a moral obligation to expose the sexualization and exploitation of children. I have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who would exploit some of the most vulnerable people in society. Anyone who thinks that teaching a child to dance in a sexual manner is acceptable behavior is a depraved person who should be locked away where they can’t hurt anyone.

Standing against child exploitation shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion, and it should be universally accepted that it is neither morally nor culturally accepted to exploit kids sexually. I am all for personal liberty and each individual living in whatever way they see fit, but that doesn’t include taking advantage of a toddler and calling it “sexual freedom” or “cultural pluralism.”

I am not the only person outraged by this dumpster fire some try to pass off as dancing. Many Twitter users were quick to express their disgust with the video.

Freedom means living how you choose as long as it is not at the expense of another individual’s right to do the same. We cannot expect to remain a free society if we do not remain a virtuous people. I do not believe that a person necessarily has to be a Christian to live a moral life; however, I do feel that having faith certainly helps to cement someone’s moral compass.

Daniel Webster, an early American Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, and author of the famed Webster’s Dictionary, articulated the importance Christianity plays in establishing the bedrock of a civil society when he said,” The Christian religion – its general principles – must ever be regarded among us as the foundation of civil society.” He further established this idea when he said, “Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.”
It is not a theocracy I advocate for, but instead a rebirth of the basic principles of Christianity, which allowed  the moral conditions which birthed our nation. In this sort of environment, the sexualization of children would be unthinkable. In fact, it is because our nation has forgotten what true love is that this sort of behavior is tolerated.

True love doesn’t take advantage of children who do not understand what they are doing. A proper understanding of love would motivate us to call out evil for what is and to protect those who can’t defend themselves. However, this behavior doesn’t surprise me when we live in an age where films like “Cuties” are celebrated.

Some who read this article may criticize me as a religious zealot, but one doesn’t have to have faith to think that teaching children to dance provocatively degrades the moral condition of America. Behavior such as this has no place in any civilized nation in our modern world and should be condemned. I hope that these women who took advantage of this girl would be identified and locked away so that they can no longer exploit children and that we would return to a place where actions such as these wouldn’t even make the news cycle.

A Florida circuit court judge ruled Tuesday that a Hollywood man must serve 180 days in jail for refusing to give up his iPhone password to police.

Christopher Wheeler was arrested and charged with child abuse in March, and detectives believe his phone contains images of the child’s injuries, which would provide evidence for the case. Michael Rothschild, the circuit judge, held him in criminal contempt earlier this month for failing to provide access to his phone.

The man insisted he provided the password to police earlier, saying, “I swear, under oath, I’ve given them the password,” the Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

Wheeler will eventually be allowed to post bond pending an appeal and will be released from prison if he provides the passcode.

The similar phone-privacy issue also unfolded Tuesday in Miami-Dade when a man was accused of blackmailing a social-media celeb over stolen sex videos.

The accused, Wesley Victor, and his girlfriend were ordered to produce the pass codes to their phones which police suspect contain text messages proving collusion in the extortion plot. Victor claimed he didn’t remember the number.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Charles Johnson ruled there was no way to prove that Victor remembered his pass code 10 months after his arrest.

Ordering Victor and Voigt to give up their pass codes “is like turning over a key to a safe-deposit box,” Johnson said.

Wheeler and Victor were both ordered to give up their pass codes under a Sarasota appeals court decision that allows police to compel a pass code for a suspected video voyeur. The Florida Supreme Court has yet to take up the issue.

But for Martland and Quinn the injustice had to be answered. The actions they took landed them on the wrong side of a court martial and cost them their jobs. The American public has been sympathetic, but about a month ago Martland began speaking out.

CNN reports:

Martland is under a gag order imposed by the Pentagon, but at the request of Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif, he wrote a statement detailing his actions on Sept. 6, 2011, which was obtained by CNN.

“Kicking me out of the army is morally wrong and the entire country knows it,” Martland writes. Last week the Army rejected his appeal.

Martland and former Captain Daniel Quinn were disciplined by the Army after they beat a powerful local police official who they concluded had been raping a small boy. They say they had been encouraged by higher-ups that there was nothing to do about such horrific acts, that these were Afghan problems for the Afghan authorities to work out.

But the Afghan authorities wouldn’t do anything about it, the two soldiers say.

BRIDGEPORT, CT–A disturbing video has been made available to parents of students at Jettie Tisdale Elementary in Connecticut. Principal Carmen Perez Dickson can be seen on camera dragging two kindergartners through the halls on separate occasions.

“She drag my daughter like she was some type of animal,” said Nakeya Hargrove, the mother of one of the children.

Even though the principal committed this abuse back in the spring of 2012, it’s only being brought to light now as the students were too afraid to come forward.

“She didn’t really want to go to school,” Hargrove said. “She was probably afraid of the principal after the incident.”

Parents were clueless until they were notified by the Department of Children and Families. After multiple videos surfaced, the school superintendent suggested firing Dickson. The board, for unfathomable reasons, decided against it, and instead Dickson was put on suspension. Once her suspension is over, she could continue working as a principal at a different school.

“I feel she should’ve gotten fired. The Bridgeport Board of Education saw it and they should’ve fired her,” Hargrove said.

“She does not need to be working anymore. I am appalled at what’s going on and we are going to handle it,” she said.

Thus far, Dickinson has only been ordered to take anger management classes. Watch the footage of her deplorable actions below.
