existence of oppression, and so on. However, asking a child to enact such
things is rather different to explaining such issues to them in a sensitive
manner. Enactment of violence and abuse, such as is asked of the child in the
making of this film, can have very severe consequences for the child.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Well,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The girl seemed to be having a lot of fun at it. And I
suppose I would prefer an awareness of the existence of family violence to a
girl misleaded into believing that certain things don't exist (until it happens
to them). I feel that it is really cultural, for lack of a better word, the
American (but not all Americans) tendency to hide stuff from children.
Personally, I feel it is better to make children aware as soon as possible of
sexism and oppression, so they can learn to defend themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>

must say, I agree with your concerns. Powerful film, but as an early childhood
educator, I am extremely conflicted about this. There was a duty of care
towards the wellbeing of the young child acting in this film, and I wonder if
the possible benefits deriving from the film (that is, raising awareness of
domestic violence and its effect upon children) justify the potential harm
inflicted upon the child involved.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Well, there's a frighteningly powerful message <br>

domestic partner abuse. I'm forwarding this to <br>
