So what actually happened is that a 17 year old girl snuck in to the centre - against their rules - and took off her clothes to dance, yet somehow the comment from the County Attorney is, "Can a group of 12-year-olds come down and go in and dance nude and it's OK?"
How do people like this get into positions of authority? Does the incident in any way suggest that this "worst case scenario" is likely to happen? Hell, I got into bars at 16 - does that mean that 11 year olds are likely to start getting piefaced and starting brawls at your local pub any time now? No, 'cause that was back in the 80's, and so far society seems to have held up without such a doomsday scenario ever happening...
Here's an idea - if the club (why don't we have these clubs here, dammit!) makes a reasonable effort to exclude minors from the festivities, taking them to court is a waste of the justice system's time and money. Unless of course this is just a ploy to impose some kind of moral stricture on naked people, which of course is completely sensible because as we all know nakedness is dangerous and must be stopped.
Anyway, I like how the attorney mentions that the parents are absolutely appalled (ooh, surprising!), and I think it would suck to be that girl's mother or father; BUT if your daughter feels like taking her clothes off in front of a bunch of strangers at 17, somewhere you've already screwed up bigtime and it's a bit late now to try to blame her problems on someone else other than you, and her.
PS: The parents probably named her Kandyy, and thus her fate was sealed from birth - not only a stripper name, but a stupidly spelt one.
