Mom Faces Backlash After Encouraging Young Daughter to Pole Dance in Viral Video - blogged by @LoveRubyWoo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A mom is facing harsh criticism after she was seen on video watching and encouraging her daughter as she practiced her pole dancing moves. The short video, which surfaced on #socialmedia this week, shows a young girl, who is not much older than a toddler, sliding down the dance pole as her mother cheers her on and dances alongside her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The video has since gone viral on #Facebook, drawing much criticism and ire. Most people felt that it was inappropriate for a mother to be encouraging her daughter to pole dance, especially given the young age of the girl. The critics were quick to jump down the mother's throat, calling her "sick", "disgraceful", and "stupid", among other things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ However, not all of the reactions to the video were negative. Some people came to the defense of the mother, pointing out the fact that pole dancing is an art and a form of exercise and it does not necessarily have to be associated with stripping. Some even encouraged what she was doing, saying that it was a bonding experience between mother and daughter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think? Is this mom guilty of bad parenting or is this no big deal?
