We discuss Maïmuona Doucouré's controversial debut feature, Cuties (or Mignonnes), which led to calls to cancel Netflix after an uproar over marketing many felt was inappropriate and sexualised the child actors involved. We think about what a teacher could do in a situation like the one depicted; Amy, a Senegalese Muslim girl now living in the suburbs or Paris, falls in with the 'Cuties', a daring tween dance troupe. This led us to talking about TikTok, Cardi B's WAP, safeguarding, puberty, the dangers of the internet and the difficulties of parenting in 2020.
