Perplexed

Dear Queenie,

Some time ago there were pornographic pictures of a local girl going around on the Internet. Now it is a girl in another island.

I can understand it happening in big countries like the U.S. and in Europe where kids run away from home all the time and live homeless on the streets and become prostitutes to live. But on these small islands there is always family or relatives or someone they can turn to.

Queenie, what is the matter with these children?—Perplexed

Dear Perplexed,

I have a better question: What is the matter with their parents?

Why haven’t they taught their daughters some simple self-respect? Why haven’t they warned them that private matters all too often become the subject of public gossip, especially on these small islands?

And why, oh why, haven’t they exercised more supervision over their daughters’ comings and goings, and the people with whom they associate?
