The Aftermath- Where is the self-esteem?

First, I would like to say that the following is just my personal opinion. I have never met Chris Brown or Rhianna(Robin Fenty).
I cannot comment on what happened the night of the alleged pummeling of Pop Icon Rhianna's face. I cannot comment on the choice they have made to "work" on their relationship. I can say that I really do not care about their personal decisions whether to be a couple or not.
So, what do I want to talk about? Where is the self-esteem? What happened to just walking away? Our girls need to know that love does not equal abuse, and it never will.
Unfortunately, these two entertainers were looked up to, and that is another one of my issues. Why are these ,or should I say certain celebrities, so idolized? So, if it is ok for this "star" to allegedly hit his girlfriend and she is not pressing charges and working on the relationship, then it is ok for ME. No, it is not. Where are YOUR family values and morals?
Let's get back to the OLD school, when parents parented their girls and boys. We didn't allow celebrities and athletes to raise our children. No MORE passive parenting.
Communicate with your teens and tell them how despicable some of the behavior is we see from these teen "idols". When these teens and some adults make the headlines, make that the time when you sit your children down and say "NO way, this will not be you." Explain why, and what you expect from them. Repetition and Consistency is the best way to teach children. Be the best parent you can be now, plant those seeds and the reward will be bittersweet.
Bon Chance!
