This is disturbing. Some children in Memphis performed a sexually explicit dance that was leaked on youtube called "Rape That Ho". Where are these kids’ parents? Who’s raising them because it seems like they’re not getting the proper guidance.
A video posted on YouTube.com is
causing a lot of concern among Memphis City Schools parents. Now we’re
trying to find solutions. The clip labeled, "Mitchell High
School Memphis … Rape Dat Ho," was posted last month. It was flagged
as offensive then taken down, but not before News Channel
3 recorded the clip on tape. The images are disturbing. They
are graphic and hard to watch. It shows young men and women engaging
in what one parent described as "sex with clothes on." We
knew the video would get a strong reaction. We aired the video Monday
to expose the problem in order to stir constructive conversation, then
offer solutions.We sat down with four women from Girls Inc. in
Uptown Memphis. The group’s mission is to inspire young girls to be
"strong, smart and bold." "Where are the chaperones? Whose
really watching? They feel so free to do this," Girls Inc. Outreach
Coordinator Monique Clayton said after viewing the tape. She works
with young women inside Memphis City Schools.She says
solving this problem starts with honesty. "Are you willing to accept
and admit there may be a problem in your school? School systems may not
be willing to accept that," she says. "There needs to be a
discussion had," said Netisha Burnett who also viewed the tape. "Maybe
she doesn’t know that it’s not OK. Some of our youth don’t know certain
things are just not OK," she says referring to one of the girls in the
tape who is seen participating in a dance simulating sex."It
seems like girls would have more dignity than to do something like
that," said 13-year-old Autum Taylor. She’s been going to Girls Inc.
for years. She says they’ve instilled a strong message. "The
message to me is to respect your body."Girls Inc. offers every
school in the district a comprehensive course to empower young women at
the beginning of the school year. Not all of the schools accept their
invitation.The women we talked with during the round-table
discussion said they’d be willing to chaperone dances in the future to
prevent what we saw on YouTube from happening again. source
