Fanning The Flames

12-year-old actress Dakota Fanning has a new movie coming out this month, and it has conservative bloggers, Fox News personalities, and some child safety advocates up in arms. In the film, Fanning’s character appears in her underwear, is sexually abused by her father, and is raped by a teenager. “Hundreds signed a petition to persuade a [North Carolina] district attorney to prosecute the filmmakers under a law banning simulated sex with a minor.”
