And the role model saga continues.
Mel C of the Spice Girls has dragged Rihanna’s name into the overly dramatic conversation of celebrities as role models.
Mel C took to her Twitter to vent about her frustration with Rihanna.
“For the record, I am a big fan of Rihanna. Rihanna has a responsibility and although culture’s always changing … we’ve gotten to the point where over-sexualisation of young children has gone too far.”
Being a mother, Melanie C has a point that the over-sexualization of the world’s children has gotten out of hand, but is Rihanna to blame?

Rihanna’s constantly attacked by parent groups and mad mothers, and she’s always having to defend herself by stating that she’s not “Parents R’ Us” and doesn’t want to be a “role model.”
Now, since she’s a celebrity, she’s automatically launched into the category of role models, but when is it the parent’s responsibility to provide their children with community figures to look up to and not vain celebrities?
This is the age old question of parenting.
The problem with today’s society is that we’re not being the parents our parents were to us. Yes, the internet and the media has allowed our children to see much more than they saw in the ’80s, but we will parents stop letting the television raise their children?
I’ll admit, Rihanna came out as a sweet young Bajan girl who sang about bubblegum love perils, but she was 16 years old. Now, the 23-year-old singer is a grown woman who has discovered her sexuality.
Yes, Rihanna is sometimes overly sexual and quite raunchy, but she’s having a good time.
Once Rihanna turned Rated R, it was time for parents to start limiting their child’s Rihanna intake.
If you’re a parent of a child under the age of 16, your child should not be watching Rihanna videos and shouldn’t be allowed to surf the net freely. Parents should strive to protect their children more and shelter them from the ills of the media.

It’s not Rihanna’s duty to act like a nun, her job is to entertain millions and when she gives a lady fan a lap dance, we’re definitely entertained.
I think parents should stop blaming these mindless self-centered celebrities for being role models. How about you serve as a role model to your children? How about finding community figures, doctors and the honorable men and women in the military to serve as a role model to your child?
Pull your kid off the computer and back them away from the television screen. Get them involved in more positive activities, instead of letting them watch a Jersey Shore marathon.
It’s polluting our children’s minds, but these celebrities aren’t to blame. At the end of the day, they’re in the entertainment business and you’re a parent. They do their job by entertaining us, how about you do your job and limit your child’s intake of this crap we see in the media?
As a child, I wasn’t allowed to watch Comedy Central’s South Park, because it was inappropriate. Set up some boundaries for your children and provide them with hardworking role models who serve our country in various ways and the world would be a better place.
Leave Rihanna alone!
