A bit off topic, but I wish parents would stop letting pre-teen girls get their ears pierced and wear adult-style jewelry. Same with letting them dress like Britney Spears. That kind of stuff doesn't help when we're dealing with an apparent epidemic of these child sexual predators.

You REALLY think earrings are going to make the difference between child sex predators abusing/raping/killing and not?

You have NO clue about the mentality of a child sex predator, which is a good thing. Except when you want to judge a parent in ignorance.

That little girl did not look in any way adult because of some small (actually tasteful) earrings.

BTW, this comes from a mother who monitors STRICTLY what my daughters wear. Britney Spears clothing, yes. That is out of bounds I feel, but only because you are teaching the girl to focus on looking like you put out. But as far as enticing a child predator, clothing has nothing to do with it.

In many societies ear piercing is cultural expectation for infant girls - Italian, Hispanic, others - has been that way for many many generations.

Pierced ears has nothing to do with it. In Spain, baby girls ears are pierced by the nurses before leaving the hospital, just a few days old. Mine were pierced there XX many years ago. (No you can't know how many years..haha). Some cultures pierce as baby's girls ears and some put jewerly on their boys. She is hispanic and may they may follow ideas as we did in Spain.
