Girls today dress like what we would've called it in our day, hookers. The pop stars don't help in this situation at all either with their skimpy outfits. They are role models to these girls and the girls will want to mimic that.
Things are way too accepted in our day and age as far as i'm concerned.

I am no expert. But I do wonder if there is any hope given that the system causes children to go astray. I mean if it is the system then what hope do parents have? Regardless of parenting the system will corrode whatever is done so what is the point of being a parent? And what exactly is this system? Is it not just the collection of practices established by parents?
For example if girls dress like hookers where did they get the money to buy the clothes? Do these girls get money from their parents? If the parents do not approve of the clothing the girls wear then why do they continue to give the girls money?
In Vautrin's example who owns the TV? Whose house is the TV in? It is not the kid's TV or the kid's house. The parents own everything so why do they not control if the TV is watched and what is watched when it is on?
