every generation pushes it a little further, think about it when you went to the prom when you were younger I'm sure your parents did'nt like what you wore, and I'm sure this girl won't like what her kid's are wearing. Besides she is gettig ready to be an adult it's her decision.

"...I'm sure your parents did'nt like what you wore,..." - brick-hustler

brick-hustler, my parents were with me when I picked out my prom dress...as all parents should be! Let's not forget as long as they are still in high-school they are 'children' and parents have legal responsibility for them. So it is NOT her decision as to what she wears to a prom.

The fact she ended up in handcuffs is proof enough that too many kids today think they are above the law and can do whatever they please. But, doing whatever they please only holds true in households where there is no one watching out for a child's well-being.

No no no no no no no no!!!!!

Let me try this again: My daughter would have to KILL ME in order to get by me and out the front door of the house dressed like that. She'd have to risk life in prison for it.

Oh, I googled it. Again, I reiterate, my daughter would have to physically plow me down to leave the house!

drerunner,
You make a good point about future decisions. As much as we'd like our society to be based on fairness and what one deserves, the fact is, when it comes to jobs (and life), one wrong impression can kill everything. It goes the same for both genders, but it is specially important for ladies to learn the lesson and play the game because we are already at a disadvantage. I always tell my little sister: "Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have. Dress to impress". I'm hoping she always remembers this.

So true JuneInMA. Love it or hate it ,"it is what it is", once we hit the real world. I remember when I was 19 coming home from college and realize how disappointed my mother was when she saw me jump off the train wearing holes in jeans. The look on her face, I will never forget. Even though ,I was a college kid trying to be cool, my mother knew the world was much larger than the one I was wrap up in at that time. That's one lesson I never forgot.......

June,

Your duaghter, like ours wouldn't even ASK. This mother needs to be arrested...

I believe she's trying to be like her role model....Lil Kim. I prefer the pretty Cinderella dresses for Proms not the slutty ones. They DO always say that the Prom is a night to remember and I think she proved it.
Two Thumbs DOWN

Where were her guardians when she left the house? How inappropriate.

That dress is pretty awful. It's sad to think that this girl has no self respect. To expose herself like that to the boys at the prom, not to mention faculty. What kind of attention was she looking for? You are all right. It begins with the parents and the school did exactly what they should have done. We really need to keep working on the self esteem of these young kids. That young lady should know she is better than that and she doesn't need to go to her prom half naked to get noticed.
