Essay 4202


Kids’ stuff in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• For the second time in the past year, Hasbro has recalled the Easy-Bake oven. Kids were getting fingers stuck in the front opening, resulting in burns. Parents should give their young daughters much safer microwave ovens instead.

• A new study revealed 4 percent of kids online are asked to transmit sexual pictures of themselves. “They’re being asked to produce child pornography,” said an expert, noting that doing so is a felony. “We think most children don’t fully understand the stakes here. They may just see it as rudeness or sometimes even flattery.” Home computers are more dangerous than Easy-Bake ovens.
