Are You Out of Your Mind?!


Clearly, there is a problem when I can no longer tell the difference between clothes for women and clothes for little girls. The line has become so blurred now what with 3 inch heels, mini skirts, short-shorts, string bikinis, and shirts baring midriffs made for kids being sold in stores and online. What's worse is that these things are actually being bought by parents!  You'd think you'd only see this stuff on that awful show Toddlers and Tiaras, but no, sadly that isn't the case. Why, just a couple of days ago while at the mall I saw a group of what looked to be 10-11 year old girls with their mother wearing shorts that barely covered their bottoms paired with belly exposing shirts with phrases like "OMG" and "Diva" printed across them. It really is unacceptable and I can't even begin to fathom what is going on in the heads of these parents who can't seem to distinguish what is and what isn't age appropriate for their young girls. How can they let their children even walk out of the house while looking that way? This is is really getting to be too much!




 Someone explain to me how this is okay:

If you're wondering, YES this is a child wearing these shoes.







Or this....






I can go on and keep showing everyone examples of inappropriate attire that I've come across, but I'll stop here. What's even more disturbing is that these aren't even the worst of the clothes being sold on the market. 
Please... If you have a child and let them wear stuff like this, you need to STEP UP AND START BEING A PARENT AND START CARING MORE ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY!!!! (and for goodness sake, do NOT use the tired "it's the only thing I can find in stores for them!" excuse... that just means you aren't looking hard enough) You're really putting them in danger and also, no one wants to see your kid flaunting things that they don't even have.
