Talking raising teenagers is not easy... Belgian stunt (so cool!)


http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1014/Bizar/ar...e-gepaft.dhtml

Check out this video, what a stunt! The faces of the public are priceless!

It's a Belgian children's choir singing very special christamas songs. The songs are translated in English. It appears to be an awareness stunt by a Belgian 'parenting line', a telephone line for getting help in raising teenagers who do drugs, drink alcohol, sniff glue, steal, tease and pick on eachother etcetera.

Translation of the article:
Quote :
Shoppers in Flanders yesterday looked surprised. A children's choir gave initially a devout carol, but the text was anything but traditional. Thus sang the Belgian children: "Silent Night, did smoke a joint." They sang other things, about steal liquor and sniffing glue. When the verse "Red head, hey moron, creep back into the sewer " the public looked very surprised.
Video's of the stunt were posted on YouTube. It shows the children singing and ends with the text "Not every child is easy, therefore, call the Parenting Line.
The stunt was an initiative of Opvoedingslijn.be. (Editorial)

OMG! Now what a stunt! Those children sing beautifully.

Wish we had an organization like that for our teens here in the US.

Here is the video.
