I simply shared my experience as a way of explaining that this is a very old, very established practice.
Certainly your approach to people and cultures that differ from yours will be extremely successful.
And there is much data to support your contention that earrings such as those in the photo provoke predators, isn't there? Hopefully you can cite it for the rest of us so we can begin the groundswell necessary for legislation to ban such jewelry.
Seriously, if you think the child looks like a prostitute - and you must, because that was your instant reaction and that is your word - I suggest you seek help.
Legislation - huh? I am not arguing for outlawing anything.
I am calling on parents to use good judgment in not allowing their pre-teen daughters to dress in an age-inappropriate sexual manner.
But there is no law against being a foolish parent, and I never called for one, so if your "culture" insists that you send your ten-year-old daughter out to the mall in a low-cut cocktail dress, fishnet stockings and high heels with mascara and gold baubels hanging from her ears, hey, knock yourself out.
