Dear Moms: Your 6-Year Old Daughter's Ass Is Not "Juicy"

"Nothing needs to be on my child's rear end. It doesn't need to have any words at all," says Suzie DeWitt of Tacoma, a mother to two daughters. You wanna know what else DeWitt doesn't want on her girls' asses? Low-rise pants. "The pants rise on little girl pants are too low to be practical. Kids run, jump and hang on monkey bars. With these fashions, their bottom is hanging out at recess." Wanna know how old DeWitt's daughters are? Six and eight. We've said it before and we'll say it again: slutty dressing is skewing younger and younger, with kids just out of kindergarten wearing everything to platforms to spaghetti straps.

To our ever-expanding list of things parents should not subject their children too, we would like to add stripper costumes for Halloween. As hipster parenting blog Babble points out: "...while boys have a lot of simple, innocent options — cop, fireman, astronaut, Rosie O'Donnell — girls, even very young girls, are left with slightly more disturbing options. Witch slut. Witch whore. Baby witch cheerleader slut. From hell. Who dresses their kids in this crap?" Writer "Cryitout" especially didn't like this outfit:
It got worse as the girl costumes got older, as if every year in a girl's life means another inch of skirt above the knee. And it had me wondering. "Would anyone ever sell a Chippendale outfit for young boys? Would a parent ever buy one?"
Sadly, we think even the answer to that is "yes".
