Default What's the impact of dressing our children as adults?

That makes no sense. Ignore the website. What does that have to do
with anything, anyway?

Besides, you can't have a conversation about something you don't even
believe exists. The pictures I have put up are simply illustrating my
point. If you don't like it, ignore it.

But don't try sabatoge a very good conversation with your demands.

Since watching Dateline's To Catch A Predator, I've wondered how we, as
a society unknowing, participate in this. Do we push the buttons of
those who already have sick tendencies?

"Society cannot claim to abhor the sexual abuse and exploitation of
children in pornography and yet allow the portrayal of children as
sexualized objects in the popular press and in advertising." -
Pornography: Women, Violence and Civil Liberties,Catherine Itzin,
"Images of Children in the Media," Michael Elliott, 1992.

My question is to start a conversation about the impact of dressing
kids like adults. I have really been hit hard in my conviction about
how we dress kids in adult-like outfits but are outraged over
pediphilia.

Is there any responsibility there on behalf of us parents to present
our children like the children they are - rather than the adults they
will become? Is it a responsibility of us as a society to be outraged
over the explotation of our children in advertising?

I'd really appreciate an honest discussion - even if you disagree with
me.


It's not about disagreeing or agreeing.

Take the damn pictures off your website, and then come back if you really want a
discussion. What you do will reveal what you are.
