Sexually suggestive ? : A New Jersey father has claimed as part of a custody battle that his ex-wife 'abused her parental discretion ' by taking their daughter to Pink 's December 2013 concert at the Prudential Center in Newark ( pictured ) . A judge ruled that while the singer 's works can be suggestive , they are preteen-appropriate . But state Superior Court Judge Lawrence Jones rejected the complaint in a 37-page decision that contained a brief history of rock ` n ' roll and a commentary on the increasing use of judges as referees for warring divorced parents . Jones said Pink may have some suggestive moves and lyrics , but she 's an artist whose works are n't necessarily inappropriate for preteens . Jones noted in his decision that he spoke privately with the girl , who is now 12 , and took into consideration the mother 's reasoning for allowing her daughter to attend the show . He found that the mother 'in no way , shape or form exceeded the boundaries of reasonable parental judgment ' in taking the girl to the show during her own parenting time . He also found that she did n't subject the child to any unreasonable risk of harm , or compromise the girl 's health , safety or welfare .
