document.write("I think there is a thin line between fashion trend and exploitation. Fashion is a reflection of what the people want, and so in some regards, is just a product of a sick society. As you mentioned one retailer got the idea for a product from parents. I think that although the retailers capitalise on 'sexy' fashion for kids they are not the ones are who making it acceptable, if there's a demand, it means people are open to it. I think we need to look at our own values first before blaming the marketers... and then on the other hand set standards for the industry as well. Tham");

As a parent who seeks out modest wear for her kids, it's all too easy to react to the sexual clothing punted by the industry with anger and outrage.  Renate, the author of the article, draws attention to the social dangers and unhelpfulness for both parents and kids through a well-researched and commentated article.  Thank you!. taryn");
