Store Pulls Padded Bikini Kids

A store in England has gotten in trouble after selling a bizarre line of padded bikinis for children. The store, Primark, was selling them for girls as young as 7, with a halter top that made them appear to have breasts.

"It can be psychologically damaging to encourage girls at age 7 or close to that age to consider themselves as sexually attractive to boys or men. This is just a symptom of a much larger problem. You could walk through any department store in the U.S. and find many objectionable items for similar reasons," said expert Keith Ablow "Retailers have not taken responsibility, nor parents, to choose more wisely what young girls wear. Much more often now, we encourage these girls to be young adults and it is confusing to people who have abnormal feelings towards children. A mini version of designer jeans and a halter top for children creates a confusing scenario not only for little girls, but for adolescent and older males."

Popular U.K. discount retailer Primark has pulled a line of sexy padded bikinis from its shelves after complaints from child protection agencies and criticism from a tabloid newspaper. The bathing suits had enough padding in the halter top to make girls as young as 7-years-old look like they had breasts. They came in both black and white polka dot, and hot pink with gold stars...Dr. Keith Ablow, Fox News Medical A-Team member and psychiatrist, said he thinks that sexy clothing like these bathing suits can be dangerous to young girls.
