PRESCHOOLERS turning themselves into sexualised "mini-adults" by wearing bras, nail polish and lipstick are requiring psychological help in increasing numbers.
Child development experts said young girls were now entering their "tween" years between being a child and a teenager at the tender age of six - five years earlier than previously.
Experts said that by age six, girls needed branded clothes, at seven they wanted styled hair, by eight they were beginning diets, at nine they were styling their hair and by early teens were engaging in sex or sending sexually explicit text messages.
The Daily Telegraph yesterday found crop-top style bras for toddlers aged two to three on sale at a major department store, sparking outrage from parents.

1st Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
Romans 1:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
At least something is going well in Roman Polanski’s life.
That was good choice.
Preschoolers have no money and they cannot drive to the mall.
Hmmm, let me guess...she’s a “Smiley Virus” wannabee.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INSIGHT STRAIGHT FROM THE SCRIPTURE! This should be read each and every day by Christians for it clearly describes the world we live in now. The sexualization of children begins in the schools where they are forced to hear about matters their minds are not ready to conceptualize. In fact, that information probably scares some of them. We can only hope for some kind of cultural pressure which will roll all of this back to what is normal and healthy for us and our children.
One of the biggest fights my ex and I ever got into was when she was going to buy our 10 year old daughter a bikini. I won that battle but eventually lost the war. Actually, I got tired of fighting and surrendered.
Oarents need to learn the word “NO”
What the heck is wrong with these parents. I am still trying to get around the fact that my 13 year old likes a boy in her class. I just don’t see her in sexual terms. She understands she needs to dress modestly (thank goodness for her mother) and behave like a lady. I hope I have taught her what to expect from men in their treatment towards her - to never accept being treated like an object or not appreciated. I hope she can always come to me to discuss things - we do right now.

I realize that I am stating the obvious to the FR crowd but WHERE THE F**K ARE THE D**N PARENTS????????????? I have two little girls (9 & 6) and they sure as hell are not allowed to wear bra's, makeup, and lipstick. WTF is wrong with these kids parents? They are the ones with the problems and they are turning their kids into these freaks. Good grief...
Easy answer: they never grew up themselves, nor were expected to. Their little girls are simply dolls for playing dress-up, and some of that dress-up play including reminiscing about those days of sexual exploration (whether remembering personal events or regretting not making some attempts). They want their girls to be popular, either because they were, or because they regretted not being so... they want their girls to have everything that the other girls want, and TV tells them what to want. Etc
Porapeski is laughing.
you get what you put up with... and more of it!!!
This is an old problem - kids wanting to be like everyone else, thinking if they look and dress like hannah montana or britney spears they’ll be “popular”, etc etc. What’s “new” is that every 5 years or so, the kids falling for this crap are younger than the group before. You can bet that the mini bras and makeup wouldn’t be on the shelves if there wasn’t a market for it. It all comes back to the parents and the home environment. Kids mimic what they see - at home, on TV and the movies, in public. It’s not the kids who need psychological help, it’s the PARENTS.

2nd Timothy 2:
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
“PRESCHOOLERS turning themselves into sexualised “mini-adults” by wearing bras, nail polish and lipstick are requiring psychological help in increasing numbers.”
So, this means that more kids are being told “no” but they still carry on the way they do?
Is just saying no going to carry as much weight as exercising absolute parental authority? It appears that some parents out there need to empower themselves as such.
No wonder women vote for them...
School Uniforms. Eliminates about 90% of this nonsense.
I got news for you: it’s going to get even worse before it gets better.
Only when King Jesus returns, and rules from Jerusalem will our world be restored to what it was supposed to be in The Beginning. No more tyrannies, dictatorships, democracies or even republics, we will live in a true and just theocracy.
Until then, it’s not a global parade of depravity, it’s a bloody pageant.
I wore school uniforms once throughout my whole school life.
That pic was lewd and what? They have been selling those underwear sets for years.
Regardless of what they are wearing, pre-pubescent youth are only sexually attractive to pedophiles. Unfortunately for parents, under most circumstances, post-pubescent youth are sexually attractive to the general population of adults. We resist those urges not because they are unnatural, but because they are uncivilized and illegal.
at k-mart, while buying jeans for the teen boy, i went to look for a skirt for the 3yr old. one area had clothes for 0-12 months, and a section for 18month to 2T. where are the 3T/4T? i move along and find a “girls” section, size 6 and up. i look around carefully wondering “where the hell is 3T/4T?” looking at the outfits for size 6 girls was a real eye opener. every single outfit in that store that was supposed to be for a little girl in the 5, 6, 7 year old range looked like something a slutty teenage girl would wear. it was just appalling to think anyone would dress their little girl in clothes that would only be appropriate for a hooker.
oh, by the way, i finally found the 3T/4T area. it was one table with four or five different styles of shirts. that was all, no pants, no skirts, nothing. K-mart sucks.
I took that poll just so I could find out if anyone voted no. Took me totally by surprise that nearly half think it hasn’t gone too far. What a sad commentary on our times. (just one of many, it seems) :(
School uniforms aren’t needed, just a solidly enforced dress code. Kids need parameters and so, it seems, do many parents.

Liberal child-raising IN ACTION.
I don't believe it. Kids are kids - it's the adults who push those "wants" on the kids. Or it's perverts who pretend that's what the kids want. Endless liberal crap -
It’s getting more and more depraved. Kinsey’s influence really got this going. In the late 80s when I realzied the horror of the “gay” agenda, I also realized the next frontier - children.
Yes, of course it is the parents’ fault - they are either asleep at the wheel, or influenced themselves by immorality as normal.
But where did this influence come from? Parents didn’t invent it, not most of them. There are agenda pushers - can’t remember the org name - an acronym like SIECO, maybe someone will know. They’ve been pushing sex normalization (of everything and everyone) for a long time. Now leftists have control of education practically 100%, and the media, and entertainment. Result? Sodom and Gomorrah.
What a wise and moral choice, both short and long term, you made for your daughters. Your choice of denying such womanly material from them sure taught them that they are still little girls and nowhere near womanhood. Surely you can let them have all the bra's, makeup, and lipstick when they're twenty-one and eighteen respectively.
That would be SIECUS. Leftism, incorporated.
I knew someone would know, thank you. They want child anything sex. They are sick evil fiends.
Experts said that by age six, girls needed branded clothes,
Not in my universe!
I have three daughters, 10 and under. Every time I shop with them I scold the sales clerks about the clothing they have for girls. I write to stores and ask them to consider the girls that aren’t going to be ALLOWED to look like 30 year old tarts. All to no avail. The clothes just get more and more suggestive.
When my oldest was 2 I went to a national discount store to buy her a bathing suit. I was appalled to see black bikini bathing suits with mesh covering the midriff for toddlers. I went on my tirade to the clerk, a grandmother, who said the buyers just don’t listen.
The sexualization of our beautiful little girls is infuriating. It all just plays up to the pedophiles.
I urge everyone who shops for girls to make a stink with the clerks, and write letters. Maybe if enough of us do it, the selection at stores will change.
And, after you’ve said no to your kids a few times, they learn not to ask for the things you disapprove of. Parenting isn’t for wimps.
I'm not sure what you mean, unless they've changed the picture...?
But anyway, in general I agree completely. Little girls just don't need to be sexualized... or even pressured into fashion-consciousness and nonsense.
But who's the marketing genius that figured out how to get otherwise reasonable adults into buying something as senseless as a brassiere for a pre-pubescent child? Yeesh... P.T. Barnum was right.
I could not agree with you more. Our society is beset by moral decay. I am not a prude by anyone’s standards; I have no objection to adult nudity because I believe God meant men and women to be attracted to one another, but sexuality is properly the province of adults, and even then, consent is required. The sexualization of children is a twisted artifact of the homosexual dominance of the fashion culture. I apologize to my gay friends who despise this garbage as much as I do, but you also need to take a stand.
....that was bought for them by their worthless parents because preschoolers have no money and can't drive to the store.
Ain’t it funny how we are unable make a connection between this and the 13 year old groupies in Hollywood pimped by their mothers!
My kids don’t know what a “Hannah Montana” or a Britney Spears” is. We don’t have cable TV. My kids don’t listen to the radio unless I have an approved CD playing in the car. I will not allow them to wear any clothes that advertise any person or thing. We are plain Jane all the way. They have no idea what they are missing and are happy as can be.
My oldest daughter, 9, wears her brother’s old jeans or just boy’s jeans because they are the only ones I can find that are not skin tight or have the really low waist. I buy my girls shirts that are too big to make sure everything is covered. I also try to buy swim suits online when possible. I like the T-shirts they’ve had out recently. Surfer shirts, I guess, over a one piece suit. I’d prefer the suit to have legs/shorts to them but can’t always find that. Leotards are often the swimsuit of choice for us. We make do but it isn’t easy.
It’s almost impossible to find a sweet long dress for girls anymore. Everything is so racy. We’ve started scrounging thrift stores for adult skirts in really small sizes that I can alter to fit the oldest girl.
Parents do have a choice. It’s not always easy and people may think we’re weird but I really don’t care anymore. Keep your kids at home so you are their main influence, not the tart down the street.
Exactly the post I was going to make. Who’s buying this stuff? It’s not the toddler or primary school girl.
Guess what they all have in common:
All the girls' clothes designers are pedophiles.
“My kids don’t know what a “Hannah Montana” or a Britney Spears” is.”
You must be doing home-school. It’s great that you’re devoted to protecting your children from this weird and deviated world we live in while they’re young and vulnerable. But I think and hope you realize that in a couple of years you’ll be causing more problems by protecting them too much. They’ll need some exposure to it so that they learn, with your guidance, how to deal with it and not get hurt by it (”it” meaning the evil nasty stuff out there). I can tell you from my own personal experience with my very over-protective parents when I was growing up (back in the relatively mild 60’s) that it didn’t help. Once I turned 18, they cut the cord so to speak, and I went a little crazy and “got lost”. I wasn’t prepared to handle the real world because mom and pop had done it all for me. So good luck with your kids - try to find the middle ground so they can test the waters under your watchful eye.
Thank you for the warning, truly. However, my middle ground is when I think they’re ready to know about evil stuff, I’ll tell them. They don’t need to experience it right now. They are beautifully innocent of most things and there’s no way I’m going to ruin that right now. And yes, we homeschool. I wouldn’t trade these days for anything. Okay, maybe I’d trade just one day for a little alone time. Ha!
What’s old is new. That Romans verse prove that.
