Garments For Young Girls
http://theview.abc.go.com/video/hot-topics-sexualizing-young-girls I'm usually at the gym every day on the treadmill during the time that ABC's The View is broadcast. They have some really good heated debates, aka Hot Topics. Today's discussion really hit home with me. Lately there have been a lot of press regarding young girls and some inappropriate items being sold in a variety of stores. For example, Abecrombie and Finch are selling padded bathing suit tops and g-string underwear to some of these (9/10 years and younger)young girls. As one of the women on the view suggest, these girls go from diapers to toddlers, to tiara's. Basically these companies are selling these products and will continue to until we, the public stop buying them. It's a shame that these young girls feel they have to grow up at such a young age and it's a crime that we the consumers purchase these products...check out the link!
