Do you think children are being sexulized too early?

For example a large chain of clothing stores has removed a few lines of clothing aimed at 5 yr old because it was deemed to provocative.
Cetain supermarket chains here (the UK) were banned from selling padded bikini tops and pole dancing kits aimed at young children.

Now as a parent I know if I had a daughter, there is no way in hell she’d be allowed any of these items. So who is the demand for? Exactly how many parents out there would allow their children to have these things.

Are we as parents not supposed to have a morals and values that we keep our children innocent and allow them to have their childhood and then as they grow into adults they choose these things for themselves.

I have a friend who has a 10yr old daughter, who already feels she is fat, ugly and needs spray tans, fake boobs and sexy clothing (this is all from media pressure) it’s gotten so bad that her mother has her in therapy. She was told that the problem is with what her daughter has grown up watching and looking at on the TV, magazines etc and she feels that’s whats normal and how she has to look in order to fit. Her mother is a natural beauty, and is down to earth, warm loving and caring and it’s tearing her apart to think that her daughter won’t listen to whats normal and what isn’t!
