Just trying to get in the papers probably.
Honestly, what is wrong with some people?
Maybe it's more about taste than appropriateness. Fair do's.
OK kids of that age have heard of the book and movie and seen it advertised, but they don't know the full details.
When his 11 year old female classmates ask him what the cable ties are for, does the boy tell them its to tie up the woman when having sex?
The mother of this boy is a teacher and I think she is naive to think it is OK.
Yeah, nothing wrong with children being linked to BDSM.
Yes I don't believe the boy asked to dress as Christian Grey
The 11 year old boy is holding bondage, s&m gear and grinning like Hannibal lecter.
With blindfold and cable ties as props? While the film is out?
I completely agree. They'll dine out on this for weeks.
A grey suit, cable ties and a mask - oooh scary bondage gear.
He could easily have been dressed as Michael Weston
What about the teacher who dressed up as a serial killer? Is that appropriate?
If he was in my child's class and my daughter asked what they cable ties and mask were for and he answered ' to tie someone up and blindfold them then have sex ' I would be furious.
I'm no prude but I want my kids to be kids as long as possible and I don't think there is any need for an 11 year old child to know about bondage.
I was thinking that too. Why would an 11 year old even know who Christian Grey is? I think its the BDSM stuff that the school has a problem with, not the suit.
Strange that you think ANY bondage gear is OK for 11 year old kids.
Well she does have a point there!
At least killers can be explained as baddies in a child's black and white world.
Right so, because it's only mild bondage gear, that's alright?
So the items don't have any other uses then?
Of course they do. But he's not dressed up as a character who uses them for other things. He's dressed up a character famous for buying cable ties for use in BDSM.
I'm usually as open minded as they come and agree with you on a lot, but I'm afraid even I think that an 11 year old dressing up as a character from a book about BDSM is weird.
Stop being foolish.
The mother and child both say he was dressed as that character. Those items are used in the book and the film for bondage sex.
The child is 11.
I getting worried about how you view children to be honest. We can't condemn paedophiles and then dress kids up as kinky sex characters 'for a laugh'.
