Unbelievable. How about letting kids be kids as long as possible. I can't imagine...

I wonder how long until they're available here in the USA.

"Childhood experts have warned parents they could be baiting pedophiles by dressing their young girls as raunchy women."

Duh. This is happening more and more. Take a walk through your local mall. The mothers dress like street walkers and dress the daughters the same as them.

I googled "Bratz bralettes" and came up with 308 hits. This crap is apparently already available at Target and other US outlets.

I agree. I got my first training bra (thats what they were called back in those days) when I was about 11 or 12 and HATED the damn thing!

Whatever happened to childhood and being okay to be a kid??

Hmm...I wasn't aware of that. But then, I never go to the kids clothes section. Too bad!

The padded Bratz "bralettes" were among more than 30 different junior bra styles starting at size six on sale at a city Target store

W-M bashers are saddened that this isn't W-M doing this.

Training bra? What a strange concept. Now that you mention it, I do remember something like that from the early 1960s. Maybe it's not all that different.

I just did, too!!! Probably a lot of people did. Can you imagine the Google people talking, "All the bralette sites are deluged. It's those freepers again."

Trying to dress little girls like little girls becomes more and more difficult without breaking the bank.

Training bras in the 50's and 60's were white, soft and functional, not meant to be decorative and sexy. Only decoration might be a little bow, that's all. Very feminine and functional.

The type of "little girls" clothing carried my Target is one of the main reasons I do not like that store.

I'm a guy, so I'm pretty ignorant about these things, but the whole concept of a "training bra" mystifies me. I mean, what do boobs have to be "trained" to do? And what happens if they're not "trained"?

Untrained boobs frequently become democrat politicians.

Don't allow children to watch television and read girl's fashion magazines. They'll be influenced and be asking to weara bralettes like their friends. I find television and print media to be vicious viral marketers of oversexualisation of our children. I feel sorry for today's children. They have a lot to deal with :(
