We have become completely desensitized with the lack of morals and censorship on television. These girls need to enjoy there childhood.

    I can't imagine letting my 7 year old girl wear one of these. Completely inappropriate. Why do people insist on ending childhood these days at the age of 5? Once you leave size 6x and move into size 7, the clothes turn into clothes for teenagers. Fortunately, my child is small and is just moving into size 7 now. We have to stick with Lands End etc. to find age appropriate clothes for her.
