Controversial Video
This video was brought to my attention recently and I wanted to repost it to see what you, dear readers think. It is controversial to be sure, and brings up many questions:
Is it progressive parenting? Exploitation of a minor? A child doing something he enjoys?
What are your thoughts?

Master,
I'm not sure what to make of it. Unless an adult was filming it, then I don't believe it was exploitative or progressive. If that is the case, then I think someone needs to pay those parents a visit. If it was just a child doing something he thought was fun, then who are we to judge? Not everyone thinks I'm funny, but I crack myself up. To each his own. I do hope it was just him having fun. Otherwise, it's a little disturbing to think an adult put him up to it, and was perhaps filming it for nefarious purposes.

Princess;
It doesn't bother me in the least to see a child acting in what i suppose is a sexual way - kids experiment, it's normal. It would concern me greatly if the role had somehow been forced on him, though.
Also, this should never have been put on Youtube, as this could lead to many problems for the boy in the future (teasing, humiliation) because once an image is on the 'net, it may never go away. A parent could have agreed to record it if that is what the boy wanted, but refused to publish it - parents are supposed to be the ones looking ahead and guiding.
