This editorial is spot on...and really drives home the point that very often children project what their parents reflect
An excerpt from LZ Granderson's CNN editorial today:
"You can tell she had been vacationing somewhere warm, because you could see her deep tan around her midriff thanks to the halter top and the tight sweatpants that rested just a little low on her waist. The icing on the cake? The word "Juicy" was written on her backside.
Yeah, that 8-year-old girl was something to see alright. ... I hope her parents are proud. Their daughter was the sexiest girl in the terminal, and she's not even in middle school yet.
Abercrombie & Fitch came under fire this spring for introducing the "Ashley," a push-up bra for girls who normally are too young to have anything to push up. Originally it was marketed for girls as young as 7, but after public outcry, it raised its intended audience to the wise old age of 12. I wonder how do people initiate a conversation in the office about the undeveloped chest of elementary school girls without someone nearby thinking they're pedophiles?"
I agree that parents are failing their children miserably when it comes to things like this...shame on that girl's parents!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Parents have to treat children as children, dressing them accordingly. When you can distinguish between a 14 year old girl and a 24 year old young woman, you know you are beginning to have a problem.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the children of today have to look forward to if we as adults give them everything now! Where has innocence gone.
