If you haven't, don't Google it.  I have, and I was really disturbed by it.  Like you said, adults can do what adults want, but kids shouldn't be taught or encouraged to do certain things.  I see Desmond and I feel bad for him.  I think, there must be some adult in his life who needs to be prosecuted.  Kids should not perform this way, not for other kids and not for adults.  Yet nothing is done.

Well, you were right Mike; I Googled and shouldn't have.  Agree with you on prosecution; sentences all around please!  With no chance of parole.

The difficulty is, if you've ever had a daughter involved in dance, they often teach suggestive moves in suggestive costumes even though the little girls usually have no idea what they're doing. 
Desmond's parents are arguing that this is the case with their son.  He is wearing female clothes and doing female dance moves, but he's innocent as to sex.  But, the kid's 15 or so now, so I presume he knows something about something, although I guess he didn't when he started.
We aren't the first people to suggest that the parents should be prosecuted.  There have been hundreds of complaints to CPS and many investigations.  They've repeatedly found that the mom is always there when he dances, and that no one is violating the kid, and that there is no public nudity.  
It seems that the laws just weren't written with this kind of possibility in mind.  It's a real shame.
