We have spent a lot of time this season talking about how our culture is shaped. We’ve consulted to experts about who is responsible for molding our culture and who should be held accountable for dangerous impacts of our media. Today we uncover a new piece of the puzzle. How is our culture shaping our children to be offenders themselves? Should we hold child offenders accountable for their actions? In today’s balanced conversation with Dawn Hawkins, Senior Vice President & Executive Director at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation we take a look at Child-on-Child crimes Ultimately we answer this question:
“How is your child being effected by our hypersexualized culture and why should you get involved in holding media giants accountable for the for the role they play in shaping our society?”
