I sure as hell wouldn't let my kid act one out, but some parents do, and it's way worse stuff than what these little girls were filmed doing.

Worried, come on: just because some parents make their kids do way worse stuff - whether for cameras or other reasons - doesn't excuse or justify what the adults behind Cuties - the director, producer and crew - made these young girls do for the cameras.

The fact that kids in many parts of the world are forced into child slave labor and child soldiering, and many kids are sold and trafficked for sex, does not mean it's OK for parents in other parts of the world to beat their children or allow them to be groomed and abused by pedophiles.

made these young girls do for the cameras.

And how many more girls they had on casting...

Do you think an 11 year old girl filming a rape scene should be outlawed?

Curious if you saw the film.

Maybe! Depending on exactly what the scene is--there are already laws about what young actors can and can't perform, because it's exploitative. It's not a blanket ban, it's a fine line the director has to walk. I think Doucoure failed walking that line.
