Girl arrested for skimpy prom dress?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZOOPruOovo&eurl=http://www.chocokisses08.com/

What do you guys think about this?

She should have known her prom's dress code, she could only show 1 inch of her midriff and proper undergarments had to be worn, etc. It is still school's policy.

Her mom, dad, guardian/parents or whomever is responisble for her care were dead wrong for letting her walk out the house to prom looking like she was going to go stand on a corner and get picked up by some random guy.

Why did she think she looked cute?

Why did she think she would get admitted into prom dressed like that?

What are your opinions?

Answer 1

I think she was arrested for kicking up a fuss, not for wearing the  alleged "dress".  In my opinion you couldn't call that a dress.

Very foolish girl.

Answer 2

OMG- she looked like a cheap hooker/ stripper

NOT a teen going to her Senior High School Prom

She most likely did it on purpose to get publicity and possibly win $ from a lawsuit that she will most likely file against the school and people involved

Her parents should be hauled into court and given a good lecture and possibly have to pay any court costs

what were THEY thinking

It appears they did NOT do their job as a parent and  instill any morals or good judgment   with  this teen

Answer 3

lets get this part straight: she wasn't arrested for the dress. She was arrested because they repeatedly asked her to leave and she was screaming and making a huge scene. It got to the point where the police HAD to be called because she could have gone off at any moment. Also, remember its a hotel, they have a business to run and dont need a stupid w***e of a highschooler messing it up. I would recommend looking up her myspace because it clearly shows what kind of a person she is. She isn't the innocent victim. She knew the dress code and clearly asked for what she got. Too bad. I don't feel sorry for her in the least. Plus shes getting a shitload of attention over this.

Answer 4

The dress was fine for Miami & LA's hottest nightclubs, not for her prom.

I agree- she should have been aware of the school's dress code before getting a dress custom made.  If she wanted to shock everyone in attendance with something scandalous(and some people do) that's her perogative- but she's responsible for making sure it conforms to the dress code.

I'm not sure why they refused to admit her after her friends re-arranged the garment into something that properly covered up or why the police were called, but I suppose tempers flared.  Supposedly she was wearing undergarments but took issue with anyone checking.

As for parent/guardians- who knows? I don't know anything about her specific situation, but many kids come from households with little or no adult supervision (parents absent, incarcerated or alcoholic/drug addicts) and must raise themselves.  I don't know about her specific situation, but I can understand if there was no voice of reason for her, before leaving the house.

I give her credit for completing high school, but her judgement regarding acceptable attire for the event was WAY off.

Answer 5

I totally agree with everything you said. As far as being arrested, I don't know the entire story but, I would say don't let her into the affair. That's completely her problem

Answer 6

I didn't see a dress there.    She needed to go home and change clothes.

Answer 7

I do not think arrest is the answer never heard of that. But she must go by the guidelines of the school. The parents should be ashamed to not be involved in their daughters situation.

Answer 8

Well my opinion on this whole matter is that I've seen far worse people get into prom with more revealing dresses than hers. Yea it might have looked cheap but hey it's her style and maybe she worked hard for that dress nobody knows exactly her situation. I think we should be putting her down or have the right to say if she can wear it or not. And for her undergarment issue at least she had that halter top to keep her goodies tied up I've seen people with out that. I just think that this is a experience that she will definitely learn from. And for those who think she is not classy it's your opinion I think she should get her money back and just be done with it. And honestly you see alot of people during school hours with tank tops that go to their belly buttons if she would of brought a shawl with her she wouldn't of had any problems. Prom is a time to look the best and come out on top. Prom is about looking flashy and good. And to her she did look good. So i just think everyone needs to stop worrying about her and worry about your own kids because hey they might end up wanting to wear that when their proms come around.

Answer 9

I think that is totally bigotted not to let her in...especially when her friends had tried to pin it up around her middle...she was more covered than those girls you see in "Miss Teen" competitions!

Answer 10

I agree she should have known her school's dress code, and that her parents should have been more responsible in what they purchased for her, (I am assuming they bought it because her actions lead me to believe she is too irresponsible and immature to have a job). She must be suffering from lack of positive reinforcement at home and this may have been her way of letting her guardian/s know that she needs more attention and some boundaries set and enforced.

As to why she thought she looked cute, have you watched television lately? Every show has young girls wearing tight, short, see-thru, spandex, lace, booty shorts, mini-skirts, tanks etc...When a young woman is trying to be as adult as she can she will use the influences she is surrounded by.

For myself, I am four foot eleven and weigh 110 pounds, I am 35 but am forced to buy pre-teen clothing and I am constantly amazed at the inappropriate clothing being sold in my size. Since the only new clothes available to me are dictated by the current fads for 11 to 14 year - olds I wonder why the schools insist on archaic fashions which are not easy to find (well Wal-mart but yuch). Personally I think parents should stand up and let the stores that sell these garments and the manufacturers that  they are in need of age appropriate clothing.

I am sure she was just trying to be eye-catching, but it is hard when the only decent clothes look like something your mom wore in the dark ages. Don't be so judgmental of others, she has a choice between trying to be fashionable or outdated. Perhaps you should find out who made the outfit she wore and notify them that they are a bad influence and start a boycott. However, who are we to tell anyone else how to dress? This is America and she has every right to be secure with her body and display it to advantage. There are ways to be beautiful without being trashy. Give her some time, she will figure out that the way you dress attracts many different kinds of attention.

In her case being arrested would have forced whoever is in charge of her to listen to the school, probably a guidance counselor, the police, and probably a therapist at the station as well. Hopefully they will take a more active role in her life and help her learn to be lovely in whatever she has on.

She most likely did know that she would not be admitted to the prom, maybe that is exactly why she wore what she did. I am sure she got the attention of several boys, but I am equally sure they are guys who are not interested in how smart, funny, talented, etc that she may be, and have only one reason for wanting to get to know her better. As she gets wiser she will realize this as well, I just hope that it happens before she finds herself pregnant, unemployed, with no car, and a boyfriend who can barely take care of her and her child.And maybe cheats on her (since you tend to gain weight after children) and if he was only interested in her for her looks, he will soon get tired of the responsibility of a family and look for another naive girl to get with.

Answer 11

I think that "prom dress" looked more like a stripper costume.

It's hard to imagine why she would think it was okay to wear something like that to a school function.
