A California mother has publicly shamed her daughter for twerking, a dance made popular by Miley Cyrus. After finding out she was twerking at her Jr. High School dance, her parents made her stand at a busy intersection and hold up a sign that read "I was disrespecting my parents by twerking at my school dance.”
“I want her to realize that she is just a child and that she can’t do that,” the mom, Francis Hena, told ABC News affiliate KERO.
Hena explained she had to find out through a friend that her daughter was dancing provocatively at the school dance, and she’s upset the school didn’t do anything about. She argues they’re downplaying the significance of the situation.
“That’s ridiculous to even think that’s okay at a school dance,” Hena said about her 7th grader’s actions. “When she’s 18, she can do whatever she wants. As of right now, that’s not something she’s going to be doing.”
She added, “I haven’t heard anything from the school still.”
Gawker notes Hena wants the school to implement a policy that does not allow them to “twerk” at any school function.
