“All-ages” public parties are deeply misguided

Here’s the thing. Protecting children may well lie beyond the competency of Giorgio Mammoliti (Ward 7). He isn’t helping them by lashing out at sex offenders. Paedophilia is always despicable but it doesn’t have anything to do with why City Council, or anyone else, would permit children to attend Electronic Dance Music events at the CNE. Mammoliti is a ward politician who apparently thinks kids can be kept safer by fear-mongering about sex crimes. The South Bayview Bulldog sees a world gone mad where kids as young as ten or eleven (the age mentioned by Mammoliti) are allowed to enter boisterous parties where much older people are whooping it up. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the so-called “all-ages” concept is deeply misguided. May parents get some sense. But all authorities need to re-address this matter. It is no doubt yet another out-cropping of the “rights” society.  We do our children no favours by allowing them to attend such thrashes unsupervised. Very little is said or written about the rules, if any, at EDM parties. Where is the reportage? As we have said in previous posts, the media is sadly on vacation when it comes to a simple description of who and what is permitted at EDM events. Previous post
