It is sad it hit the media at all. Aust. is getting too politically correct. A few years ago nothing would have be thought about it. Many children have sports people they think of as heroes, the same as some do with TV stars and various celebrities in movies, cabarets etc.

when I first saw the pic, I thought it was a ‘tongue in cheek’ dig at whats happening in the media and there is no way a parent would actually send a kid to school like that!! the kid wouldn’t even know why or what (the powder) it all meant (well you would hope!) but then people started saying that he DID go to school like that and that it was a teacher that reported it!!! The whole He said/She Said is just as bad as the original idea. A bad case of Chinese Whispers going on here – and this is from ADULTS ??!!

Yep, way too far ! I find it bizarre the amount of energy, time and emotions people put in their responses towards these posts without doing something constructive.

i personally think that it has gone way to far but then again it is only going to go as far as the media want it to – they will run with it until everyone gets fed up with the story and then they will have something else to stick there teeth into for a bit, it’s always changing but it always leaves an aftermath of people who have been caught in the trouble like the young boy from perth 🙁

I have to admit, I laughed when I saw this photo. Is it appropriate? Probably not. But I get the point this dad is trying to make. The Nic Nat dress up thing got way out if control and over the top

This is quite a complex issue. Sad that the photos of the children have gone viral.

Can we stop using little kids to make points?

  I tend to agree – I do not like children images being used to make points.

The thing is that kids of this age are only doing this out of worship for their idols. It’s the adults who are making it more than just pure adoration. Let the kids be kids. They grow up too soon as it is
