No Hollywood is not trying to gather $$ by showing pedophilia, they are trying to make us aware that child-abuse is still an ongoing issue and problem in the world today, and they way they know how to make it is if it’s uncomfortable to watch then it will send the message home. Yes there are ways to do it without going exremes such as this movie or “Bastard out of Carolina” but honestly the director, producer and the alike felt this was the best way.

Dakota chooses her movies, and her parents back her, and if they felt it would damage her psyche then I’m sure they would have pulled her out.

thats how I always thought about mine.

Genesis 19

19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. The Seduction of Lot
19:35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

Exodus 4

24 At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met {Moses} and was about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched {Moses’} feet with it.”Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the LORD let him alone.(At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

these are but a few of the many graphic and sexual readings you may find in the bibles. Remember children are read and taught this stuff.HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS STUFF TO KIDS.Mabey we should ban children from reading the bible and remove from all public places then never allow any one under 18 years old to read such things.Who is the sick people now.

Now keep your mouths shut before you promote those that seek to destroy good people like dakota fanning and her family.

As another point of reference, The Exorcist featured child actress Linda Blair spewing some of the most vulgar, vile, and sometimes sexual things ever to be filmed. If I’m not mistaken, she was 13 at the time. That film didn’t scar her for life. Yes, there is a huge difference between her role in that movie and a simulated rape scene, but a child of that age can understand the difference between reality and fiction.

Other movies have tackled this subject matter, including two versions of Nabakov’s “Lolita.” Again, I know that neither of those films included a scene such as the one from Hounddog, but they dealt with similar subject matter.

I honestly think that movies such as this can be a positive way to raise discussions on issues of child abuse and child sexuality. However, claiming that all of Hollywood is “evil” and that Fanning’s mother should be sent to jail and that anyone who participated in this movie is pushing a pedophile agenda is so outlandish and purposefully abrasive that they cannot even be taken seriously. I think that discussion on this topic is both interesting and helpful. I also believe that there are some difficult questions here around whether Fanning should have portrayed some of these scenes at her age. However, I think it’s more helpful to keep the discussion reasonable and based in reality, as opposed to lashing out and accusatory.

Other than that minor objection, Dakota’s parents and the producers of Hounddog should be indicted for child exploitation which is illegal in North Carolina and also violates federal law.

And to Defan;

You neglected to mention the mutual masturbation scene and that Dakota’s character is supposed to be 9 years old. It isn’t so much what she was wearing as what she was doing, as a 12 year old actress. You can’t pretend sex. Simulated sex just means there was no penetration. But if you as a parent caught the 20 year old babysitter pretending a similar playact with your 9 year old daughter, I bet you would call the police.

Many children do not realize they have been exploited until it is too late and the harm has already been done. Quoting Dakota on this film just furthers the exploitation of her, IMO. So cut it out.

Dakota is so naive that she does not realize that this film supports pornographers who simulate child porn with adult and/or child actors and also supports the pedophiles/sex offender/child molesters’ interests so much moreso than the film supports child sexual abuse survivors and victims of child pornogrphers. It is very sad that she will learn this lesson this way but it was predictable. Any porn producer could have told her that this would be the likely public reaction but did they? Greedy f*ckers! This is all because of the illegal choices that her parents made for her to further her exploitation knowingly too.

Dakota’s naivety is being exploited to produce and market this porn material that is non-protected speech by federal standards because it is harmful to minors to participate and there is no state where it is legal too solicit a 12 year old minor for sexual activity.

Make this film protected speech and we will have Hollywood producers putting infants into bondage sucking on plastic dildos that are indistinguishable from genetalia. Kampmeier should be in jail with her wannabe child pornographer comrads.

A twelve year old child cannot consent to sex nor even to simulating sex for an adult nor an adult audience. Dakota required parental consent to even appear in Charlotte’s Web. The sexually explicit exploitation of Fanning in Hounddog was not needed to support the theme.

The Hounddog middle school play will never happen because schools are held to be accountable to the law where Hollywood gets away with it so far.
