You are right, my kids are 13 and 9 and I haven't come in contact with that behavior at this point. My honest reaction if it were my kids would be a good old fashioned ### whoppin. I have come in contact with some middle schoolers that their parents didn't know what type of emails, etc. they were sending and I called them and told them what they had sent my daughters. In that instance I also told the child I had seen it when she was at my home. I told her if I ever seen anything like that again, then she wouldn't be permitted to come to my home anymore. I can say, I'm suprised by what my 13 yo tells me comes out of kids mouths on her bus. This coming from boys that don't even know what they are saying, but think it's cool to speak that way to girls. I've waited at the bus stop and talked to the bus driver about it and called the school to tell them as well. Fortunately for me my best friend is my daughter's best friends Mom and we live across the street from each other and both of our daughters have pretty frank conversations with both of us, so we are always making sure stories match, etc. Like I said I know one of the boys in some of those pics, so I forwarded all the links of the pictures, etc. to his Mom, because knowing him he hasn't been honest with her. I told her I'd discuss it further with her Sat. night at a get together we will both be at. I know my kids will screw up and they won't be perfect. I can however, be active in their lives and have the final say in anything they do while living under my roof.
Apparently it meets zoning in Clayton and they are making money so what is the problem? Just because you do not want your child there does not meet everyones should be excluded.
Well I am sure that I can find it out myself who owns this place. I dont have kids but I do know that if I did I wouldnt let them be there! Being a sleez and allowing kids to act in that way has nothing to do with zoning.
LOL! I didn't make myself clear, I thought the question was "what type of person owns a club like that?" Since it's not something I approve of, which is my own opinion, something unprintable came to mind when I saw the question. I don't know who owns it for sure, but I'm sure a few minutes on the JC website could answer it..................
Here is the myspace page for this "club." http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=131707773
:mrgreen: :lol: Yup!! But seriously..............................I guess to each his own, but there is no way in @#$% my kid will go to someplace like that. Your just asking for trouble in my opinion. But if you want to let your kids go, that is your business. My parents fairly well kept me under lock and key till I was18, which had both good and bad points. But there were no "unauthorized" grandchildren or embarrassing internet photos for sure.
I totally agree. Back when I was a teen that was one of my reasons for not having sex, I didn't want the responsibility of an accident. Today, kids parents usually end up raising their grandkids. I've already told mine I'm not raising anyone else's kids. I swear people look at me like I'm crazy cause I've already had the sex talk and talk about regularly with my girls, mostly the 13 yo.
If a parent doesn't see anything wrong with this type of dancing get ready to cut out the coupons in Sundays paper, lots of Pamper coupons available for future use because your going to need them.
Out of a group of about 30 girls in HS, there were two of us that were virgins when we graduated. I wonder what the number is these days? None of the boys I knew were virgins....
READ THIS NEWS STORY ABOUT A TEEN CLUB IN OHIO!!! SOUNDS A LOT LIKE OUR VERY OWN STRIP CLUB UNDERAGE!!!:shock: Investigation: Teen Night Becomes Risque At Local Club NewsChannel5 Reveals 'Truth' About Teen Night NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio -- Fighting, skimpy clothes, underage drinking and provocative dancing -- all happening at a local teen dance club. Chief Investigator Duane Pohlman is On Your Side, undercover, confronting the problem to find out why police can't shut it down. Pohlman:It's Saturday night in the suburbs. Parents are dropping off their teens for what's supposed to be a worry-free night of fun. Inside, it's a much different picture. 5 On Your Side takes you undercover inside teen clubs, revealing a raucous world of drinking, drugs and dirty dancing. Parents are stunned. PTA President: "Oh my God, this looks like a strip club." Pohlman: And cops convinced... Lt. Jamie Gallagher: "It's like spring break." Pohlman:What we uncovered will leave you asking how cities and cops can allow this right under their noses. "Why can't you just shut that club down?" Gallagher: "We're doing everything as far as law enforcement can go with the violations down there." Pohlman: The club at the center of our investigation is "Krobar."On Saturday nights, 13- to 19-year-olds who can't legally drink come here to hang out and, of course, dance. Our undercover cameras capture the sights and sounds. DJ: "How many of you don't care how hot it is in here? Want to dance your *&*%%$ off?" Pohlman: The dress -- or lack of it -- is the first thing you notice. Our cameras catch these conservatively dressed girls pulling their clothes off in the parking lot as their parents pull away. PTA President: "It's wrong on so many levels." Pohlman:Inside, the bar is packed with underage children in little more than underwear. Remember, many of these girls are barely in high school. PTA President: "They just have no business in that setting together." Gallagher: "That's a recipe for disaster." Pohlman: But the real age gap is even wider. The club doesn't identify the kids, so no one really knows how old or how young they really are. The producer we send in undercover is 28. "She was never IDed and got in." Gallagher: "Uh, that's wrong." Pohlman: And police confirm two girls charged with curfew violations on Jan. 21 were only 12 years old. They spent the night inside. If those girls had gone in to a bar they would've been kicked out, but because this is teen night, almost anything goes. During nearly six hours of surveillance, we watch as several teens stumble or are carried or helped out of the club. A 17-year-old girl is hauled away on a stretcher. Even though alcohol isn't served on teen night, police report her blood alcohol level at .331. Gallagher:"That's unbelievable. She should have died." Pohlman: It's more than four times the legal limit of alcohol for a driver in Ohio. And we watch young girls brawling. Bouncers had to break it up. In just the first month of this year, police have arrested or cited 57 children outside the club -- nearly half of them for drinking or having alcohol. And there were other serious charges, too, from drug dealing and possession to assault and disorderly conduct. Still, the city and police insist they're powerless to stop most of this. But are they, really? Some clubs, like Vagus in Parma, are tame by comparison. We take you undercover at this club, too. No dancing on the bars here. The difference? Parma has an ordinance dealing with teen clubs. For example, Parma prohibits dancing that is "vulgar, suggestive or immoral." North Olmsted, where Krobar is located, doesn't have that kind of ordinance. Gallagher: "We are doing everything we possibly can down there to enforce the laws." Pohlman:But one of those laws is a curfew. In North Olmsted, the law clearly states kids 15 and under have to be home by 11 p.m. Sixteen- to 18-year-olds have to be in by midnight. "It is the law that these kids are violating curfew and they're getting away with it." Gallagher: "Nobody is getting away with anything." Pohlman: But again, we watch. From 11:30 p.m. to midnight a crowd of teens spills out of the club. Officers are here but don't cite anyone. "Would you bring your kids to a place like this?" Gallagher: "Absolutely not. They've asked. They're not coming."

Across the country, nightclubs are hosting special events dubbed as "teen nights" that are promoted as a way for teenagers to indulge in clean and safe fun and where no alcohol is served. Inside Edition sent young adult researchers with hidden cameras posing as teenagers into several of these clubs to expose what is really occurring at these popular teen hangouts. Consistently the researchers found girls entering the club with one outfit on and emerging from the bathroom in a different, much more revealing outfit. "The girls would come in in one outfit, go into the bathroom and change and hide their clothes in the closet," one researcher said. Inside Edition cameras also caught teenagers engaging in sexual acts, even intercourse, right out in the open while other kids and employees stood nearby.
