[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Streaking Draco?

[Sherry Gomes]

I'm from the USA.  But I didn't say I find it offensive either way.  I don't
have kids.  But people have the right to choose what their kids are allowed
to see, and many parents don't want them to see that till they are a little
older.  The friends I live with are just now letting their 14-year-old son
attend movies on his own before they view it to see if it's suitable.  He
can't go to R rated movies of course, because he couldn't get in.  He's a
loving, well-adjusted boy, who has great compassion and tenderness for small
kids and animals.  His parents haven't hurt him by guarding what he saw on
TV or in movies till they felt he was old enough to handle it.  But they
might not let the ten year old see a movie with someone streaking.  and
definitely not the four year old.  The way they would handle it is to wait
for the video to come out, watch the movie with the kids and fast forward
past violence, strong language and nudity or sex scenes.  

and before anyone jumps on me, I didn't say that parents who don't feel like
this are bad parents.  I said that parents have a right to choose either
way, what their kids see.  Since there are still a lot of parents who would
not want their kids to see someone streaking, which might be quite a bit
different than seeing someone in a bath or shower--implications and all
that--I'd hate to see this happen in the movies and have kids miss out on
the experience of seeing the movie.

I find myself more and more intrigued by this thread. Why is a 
brief flash of nudity inapropriate for children? At what age can a 
person watch someone nude on screen (in a non-sexual 
context)? Those of you that find this so unsuitable, wich country 
do you all come from? 

I am really not trying to be sarcastic or rude, I'm just curious.
