times havechanged so much. i have a picture of my friend and me, we were maybe 6, we're standing on the deck of their house, completely naked, right in front of her father. nothing unusual or porn-ish about it. we are standing with our butts to the camera. growing up in germany it was completely normal for small children to run around naked outside, no diaper or anything.
now criminals are starting to take over the world, and you have to worry about your kids every second they are not right there with you, even bundled up in winter clothes.

and i totally agree with clothes being way too sexy for small kids. i do not think small children need to wear two piece bikinis, or heels, or a face full of grown up makeup (playing dress up and imitating mommy at home is okay of course). at my son's preschool i saw a first grader with black knee high boots with heels and a skirt that barely covered her butt. who lets their little girl leave the house like that??? who would buy that stuff in the first place???
