Letter: For heaven's sake put them away, dear

Letter: I agree with the campaign to protect young children against over sexualisation at a very young age. Young children are forced to grow up far too soon these days.

It seems that young boys, and I presume girls, can be sold a soft porn mag in the guise of a newspaper and teenage magaziness have articles and photos of a sexual nature.

Some tabloids publish topless models which young boys ogle and it gives them the impression that young girls are merely sexual objects. Then some girls think that Katie Price is a good role model, and what is she known best for? Displaying her silicone-enhanced boobs and falling out of taxis drunk.

Singers like Lady Gaga and Rihanna set a very bad example to young children, cavorting about on stage half-naked in erotic sexual poses etc.

I was walking along Aston Street recently and I saw two teenage girls walking towards school wearing white blouses and the shortest, tightest miniskirts I have ever seen schoolgirls wear.

They came down from the direction of the railway station, so I presume they are not local girls.

Some schools have a ruling that skirts should be worn just above the knee, and I recall a girl wearing shorts when I went to school in the 1950s but at least they did not reveal their underwear when sitting down.

I blame the parents more than the schools for allowing young girls to dress in a provocative way and not only at school.

Some firms have been selling padded bras and bikinis for very young girls and it makes you wonder what happened to the age of innocence?
