Would you let your eight-year-old daughter wear Liz Hurley's leopard-print bikini?

I think Bikinis on little girls are unneccesary and cheap looking. I dont think they are overly sexualising kids but most parents nowadays want to protect their kids from the sun and cover up a wee bit, why expose their delicate skin to harsh sunlight (when we get it), even with todays suncreams and blocks they are in and out of the water constantly and so are only protecting them to a point. Also they dont have boobs to hold up so really its just a garment put on a child to make them look like a mini version of a woman, naff.

While I am a great believer in allowing children to be children for as long as possible, I have a daughter; the only people making these into an issue are adults and articles such as these! I wouldnt even consider dressing a 7 year old in a sexy way as its not even a consideration BECAUSE THEY ARE 7!! A seven year old (unless having been told by a parent) wouldnt & shouldnt identify what Sexy is or how it feels! If parents are making children identify with sexuality at this age then the issue lies with the parents! And as a person who's work involves a lot of psycology, a pervert wont even consider the attire, they are wired to see the child as a sex object and NOT the clothes. Paedophillia is not a new disease; this was an issue many years ago when children were dressed "ordinarily" the difference today is the publicity that this vile sector of society receives and the ease of available options such as the internet, lack of parental supervision surrounding that making these perverts lives easy!! What concerns me more in modern society is the amount of young girls that are allowed to wander around towns and estates unsupervised - thats where the real danger lies! Only this week end I was at a local cinema where there was a group of girls no more than 8 to 10 in age alone without parental supervison, regardless of attire, this is where the paedophiles have it made easy for them! If a child is dressed in jeans and T shirt and alone, they are more at risk than a child dressed like the pictures herewith with proper parental supervision.

My daughter is 38 now and when she was the age of both models there were the same sort of swimsuits around that are shown here, and nobody thought anything of it (she had several) ...In Spain (for instance) they regularly sold just bikini bottoms for little girls as they thought they didn't need anything else at that age i.e. there was nothing to cover up...So what all this fuss is about I have no idea..Let's face it the bikini actually covers up all the important bits - it's not as if they've had implants...

Don't know about the wisdom of dressing a little girl up as an adult, but wow those designs are revolting and would be on anyone. Hurley included.

It`s the person who sees a child wearing one of these bikini`s as a sexualised child who has the problem, in normal folks eyes they are just kids having fun at the beach/pool or wherever,.......campaigners , get a life get a proper job and leave them alone do something worthwhile with your lives!

There are nothing wrong with these swimming costumes. As for the people who think that pervs would drool over them they are wrong. Paedophiles by their very name tells us that their sick minds see children as sexual objects and that dressing children up in what is perceived as alluring adult clothes would not have any effect on them.

Hi,
Did Liz Hurley design the leopard skin pattern.
No! it is a natural pattern belonging to the Leopard.
Did she discover the colour Lilac, I don't think so.

So what is the issue?

The issue is dressing children like adults.

All children especially little girls like to try on Mommy's Shoes, Mommy's makeup and women who by bikini style swimsuits for children are pandering their children's desires.

Is it right, personally I do not think so.

There is an age when little girls and boys should start growing into teenagers the same as there is an age when they go from teenagers to young adults.

Although there is nothing wrong with this range of clothes, other than it panders to the needs of the perverted mind, the morality of dressing a child in such a manner has to be questioned, fashionable or not.

it just goes to show....in this country we seem obsessed... with the kids....why.....its the adults with the problem/s.....they are just children......and it looks to me like there going swimming.....not ...f.. in.. pole dancin...

I dont think its' parents who would buy them - more like the Mothers, who also buy celeb type mags, then go on to star on X factor or Jeremy Kyle show.

mmmmmm not sure about this one, it does seem as if there a bit skimpy for children, I dont' bother along with many many others but sorry I wouldn't dress my child like that especially nowadays, you can get trendy swimming costumes whats wrong with them, people in the fashion world need a reality check, sadly you dont know whose looking!!
