When my grandchildren are in the car with me, I always have Pop Hits I on Sirius. I want to relate to them and their music. . . or so I thought. My fifteen year old grandson and sixteen year old granddaughter were in the car with me when the new Nicki Minaj song, “Super Freaky Girl,” came on. After hearing just a little bit, all disturbing, I asked if they knew all the lyrics. Both broke out into hysterics. My granddaughter pulled up the lyrics on her I Phone for me to read. I think they just wanted to see my reaction. Yes, this Grandma could not contain her horror.
Super Freaky Girl
She’s alright
That girl’s alright with me
Yeah
Ayo (hey, hey, hey, hey)
I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin’ and slidin’
I can do all them little tricks and keep the dick up inside it
You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it
And every time he leave me ‘lone, he always tell me he miss it
He want a F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
A-K, A-K, A-K, E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
Uh, okay
One thing about me, I’m the baddest alive
He know the prettiest bitch didn’t come until I arrive
I don’t let bitches get to me, I fuck they man if they try
I got a princess face, a killer body, samurai mind
They can’t be Nicki, they so stupid, I just laugh when they try
A thong bikini up my ass, I think I’ll go for a dive
His ex bitch went up against me, but she didn’t survive
On applications I write, “Pressure” ’cause that’s what I apply (brr)
P-P-P-Pressure applied, can’t fuck a regular guy
Wetter than umbrellas and stickier than apple pie
I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin’ and slidin’
I can do all them little tricks and keep the dick up inside it
You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it
And every time he leave me ‘lone, he always tell me he miss it
He want a F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
A-K, A-K, A-K, E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
‘Cause, what the fuck? This ain’t Chanel, nigga, custom down
Like, what the fuck? This ain’t Burberry, custom brown
He said, “Could you throw it back while you touch the ground?”
Then he said, “Do that pussy purr?” I said, “Yup, meow”
Hold up, fuckboys, ain’t need no for you to roll up
Ain’t no need for you to double tap neither, scroll up
Keep these bitches on they toes like Manolo
Be on the lookout when I come through, BOLO
Oh, whoa
Elegant bitch with a ho glow
If it ain’t big, then I won’t blow
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Fuck is the tea? I just F’d a G (let’s go)

He want a F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
A-K, A-K, A-K, E-A-K (freaky girl)
F-R-E-A-K (freaky girl)
“Most Teenagers Have Seen Online Porn, Report Says”
Even before the new Nicki Minaj song, this headline on the front page of the Business Section of the New York Times, January 10, 2023, by Cecilia Kang, did not surprise me.
On the front page of the main section of the New York Times on the same day was the headline, “Child’s Access to Gun Shocks Virginia school,” about the six year old who shot his teacher that did surprise me.
What is happening with the children of today? What do both of these headlines have in common?
The law, which is supposed to protect us, does not protect us. It seems that all authority is being abdicated to the parents and today’s parents are failing their own children, our children, grandchildren, and our society.
According to the New York Times article, the six year old boy cannot be held responsible because Virginia law does not consider a six year old capable of forming criminal intent. There is a law in Virginia that prohibits leaving a loaded gun where it is accessible to children under AGE FOURTEEN, a crime that is punishable AS A MISDEMEANOR, a minor crime. There is no Virginia law that requires all guns to be safely stored in homes. Apparently, it is up to Virginia parents to safely store guns in their homes, and surely not to allow loaded guns to be left where a six year old can get it, bring it to school in his backpack, not observed nor checked by his parent, and shoot a teacher!
The article cites research that found that children under age 10 were as likely as older children to know where guns are stored in the home. “Another study found that 70 percent of 5 to 6 year olds, and 90 percent of 7 to 8 year olds had enough finger strength to pull the trigger on a gun.
Back to pornography and children, albeit just a bit older children, or so we read in the article. The law, regarding access by children to electronic and social media pornography, again, which should protect our children, does not protect them or us. It seems that all authority is being abdicated to the parents and today’s parents are failing their own children, our children and grandchildren, and our society.
“ Three quarters of teenagers have viewed pornography online by the age of 17, with the average of first exposure at age 12, according to the report by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit child advocacy group. . . .Teenagers are seeing the photos and videos on their smartphones, on their school devices, and across social media, pornography sites and streaming sites.”
58% of teenagers surveyed said they did not seek out the pornography but came across it surfing the web, on social media, through search engines or clicking ads. MORE THAN 50% OF TEENAGERS surveyed said they had VIEWED VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY:
rape
choking
someone in pain
and said that much of what they saw was disturbing.
It seems that the polarization of our society has left the heavy lifting of much that is dangerous to our children and our teens in the hands of this generations’ parents.
According to Shelly Viramontez, a school superintendent in the San Jose area of California, quoted in the New York Times article on pornography, “[t]his generation of parents are dealing with things that no other generation has had to deal with –the amount of access to information in the hands of kids.” The end of the article says it is up to parents to have conversations with kids about pornography and access to it. See, prior blog post, “Best Ways of Taking Back Control from Children With Smartphones and Computers in This Electronic Age is Something We Should Share With the Parents of Our Grandchildren”
Today’s parents probably talk as much to their children about pornography as they do about gun safety. Today’s parents seem to secure and monitor electronics and social media as much as they do the guns in their homes. This Grandma has little confidence that there can be consensus about the hard issues facing parents and children that will result in our society addressing these through laws and the legal system. . . .or schools and the education system, which, again has punted to the parents. It seems that some parents, very vocal parents, want everything this way. Today’s parents are on their own. We all suffer the consequences. As a grandparent, I worry.
Discussing this with the mother of our teenage daughter, she said there is hope for the future. Today’s parents are overwhelmed with the amount of accessible information available to children and teens, dealing with everything they have to deal with, but the next generation are experts at all of this.
Maybe our grandchildren as adults can save our great grandchildren.
With little joy,
Mema
