Former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm says the sexualisation of children has gone too far, and encouraged stars like Rihanna to take more responsibility for their performances.

Miss Chisholm’s comments come amidst increasing concern about child sexualisation, and follow a Government review into the problem. Commenting on the issue she said: ‘People have to take some responsibility because we’ve got to a point where over-sexualisation of young children has gone too far. ‘I think music is a big part of that. Women in music, very successful women, are extremely sexual and they have young fans. It is inappropriate. Earlier this year hit songwriter Mike Stock warned that pop music has taken ‘a slow but unmistakable descent into pornography’. He said: ‘Pop music in this country is almost completely dominated by American acts who have taken sexualised imagery, dance moves and lyrical content way beyond the limits of decency.’

Pray: for a reappraisal of what is appropriate for pop videos aimed at our youngsters. (Je.35:15)
