Stop Sexualising Children

There is a disturbing trend nowadays that if not checked can cause grievous consequences.  It is not uncommon now to see children, especially toddlers adorned and decked head to toe by their mothers in disturbing ways.  I have seen mothers dress their girls in  suggestive and inappropriate outfits in the name of fashion.  As disturbing as that is, it is even more disturbing to see bloggers promote this kind of pictures with captions like '' isn't she cute?, isn't she a doll, '' etc.
       It is also alarming to see adults men and women who should know what is right and befitting to these children ''like'' and comment positively on these pictures.
HAVE WE ALL LOST OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS?  These are children for heavens' sake,  not China dolls.  They are not mannequins to be dressed, decked and displayed anyhow you like. Why dress a child like a sexually active adult?  Some mothers even go to the extent of putting on makeup on the children.
      It has been established that having a child doesn't make a mother, a mother is one who would do anything and everything to see that child grow up into a RESPONSIBLE adult.  It is safe to assume then that mothers that engage in this acts are themselves irresponsible and immature.  You can only give a child what you have. If you don't have it in you, you can't teach it to a child.
  For bloggers that promote this actions,  I am still waiting for the day the government would establish a commission that will place restrictions and put rules in place for what bloggers can or cannot post.  Do we even know that there are perverts online,  or is the word 'pedophiles' restricted only to developed countries?  We read the news everyday and hear reports of men abusing little children.  While your girl's dressing isn't enough reason for  these evil men to perpetrate their evil acts, let's keep our girls covered and protected; starting with the way we dress them.  They are children, let them grow as children,  don't make them adults yet.
For young mothers that engage in this actions, grow up. If you need a doll to play with, get a Barbie.
Stop sexualising children. There's absolutely nothing cute about it. #stop #sexualising #children
