Here's the second thing: parents who dress their CHILDREN in grown up attire, to include make-up and mature footwear, figure hugging clothes and eccentric hairstyles, are simply encouraging the grotesque and unnatural desires of those who identify as pedophiles. Hard to read, no doubt but, facts usually are. However, there is something we can do about this!
While freedom of choice should be applicable to all, sadly it is not {in every situation} and, more time, it's about applying COMMON SENSE and SENSIBILITY before doing whatever you feel like doing where you believe such should be your right in its entirety.
Let babies be babies, a child be a child; youth remain youthful. I have no idea why any parent would, in this day and age, dress their child/children in grown-up clothing. The amount of times I have witnessed a variety of looks little kids {girls in particular} have received from strangers who have stared at them in their short body-con dress, mini heels, make-up, nail varnish, jewellery and clutch is countless! While some eyes have appeared to be shocked and disgusted, others have given a more welcoming impression by the way they were looking.
Am I a parent? No, by choice. Do I need to be a parent in order to understand that sexualising children in any way, shape or form is beyond dangerous and should NOT be happening at all? Hell no!!!! As adults, is it our duty to keep children from harm not put them in harms way! Nowadays, we need be extra cautious with our young people in terms of how we present them in public and how they are safeguarded online!!!
When young girls become loose, wayward teenagers having been raised on wearing explicit garments, carrying themselves as women way before their time and boys become wreck-less, young men following a youth where they were exposed to adult themes, why does anyone react with shock and condemn them? ALL behaviour is learned yet, if vigilant, a parent can intervene early enough to have a child unlearn certain behaviours. We know this is a fact. There are many health, social, mental and other such problems that can be born out of raising a child as an adult. It is not just about them potentially being sought after by pedophiles!
Once stuck in our ways as a child and left to continue with such ways into early adulthood, as a fully fledged adult, it is usually a wrap!!! It is incredibly hard to change after years of being a particular way. THINK about what you are teaching your child/children by the way you dress them, or encourage/allow them to carry themselves, especially with regards to intimacy and sex!!!!
I am also talking about children who model. If I were the parent of a child model I'd make sure the jobs they booked would not make them vulnerable {by the nature of the shoot}!!
This is something which has always been way too much for my life. I just cannot comprehend why some have certain feelings towards children and I also struggle to understand why, knowing that certain people are this way inclined, any parent/guardian/carer would still have their child, or children, out in public dressed a particular way... I cannot deal, I really can't!
In no way do I condone any type of wrongdoing {be that against a person, or company, irrespective of age, race, type of business etc.,} however, this situation has long been a MAJOR problem and is partly with those who CHOOSE to ignore the danger of dressing our little people in big people's clothes.
I am not suggesting children be wrapped up from head to toe, all year round, in outfits that barely allow them to breathe! I'm saying, in my opinion, it will never be cute to dress any child in clothing that is more fitting for an adult, even more so where accessories and make-up etc., have been added to further give a more mature, 'sexy' look...
STOP EXPLOITING CHILDREN. STOP PROMOTING YOUTH SEX. STOP FEEDING THE ILL APPETITE OF THOSE WHO WALK WITH WRONG THOUGHTS ABOUT CHILDREN. PROTECT YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN BY HAVING THEM LIVE THEIR CHILDHOOD APPROPRIATELY! PREVENT YOUR CHILD FROM BEING A TARGET!!
