Nawa oh, I remember when I was little, it was ball gowns (Cinderella gowns aka aunty gimme cake gown ) that girls wore for parties. Infact, the bigger the dress, the better. What was bum shorts then? What was halter neck? What was mini skirt or short gowns? Which one was make up? I remember once when I was in JSS1, I painted my toe nails, ordinary toe nails oh and I got severely reprimanded by my dad. This life sha.

God knows I'd be very strict when it comes to certain things as a parent. Infact, I've already started to make a compilation of things that would fly in my home.
For my daughter No make up, fixing weave-ons, relaxers until she is 17. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

win2kwire:

define indecent, to a backward primitive 3rd world african m0ron normal dressing can be classified as indecent!
is it a against the law? unclothedness is - are they naked?

stop imposing your stupid ancient ideologies gotten from you illieterate ancestors on modern kids!

sanpipita:


You underestimate the power of the mind and it's way, not everyone has same mind, a guy after seeing rihanna in bum shorts and seeing a kid in same might have same attraction, I'm not excusing rape but sexualized clothes can arouse minds, wearing sexualized clothes and dancing provocatively might give wrong impression these kids are ready, when a man starts seeing in kids what he sees in adults then the mind could go awry.

YOUR CHILDREN ARE SEXY? ??

Few weeks ago, I was at the local airport and as I waited in the departure lounge, I noticed there were many children roaming about but it was understandable since it was summer holiday.

One other thing I noticed was the way most of the children were dressed. Most of them, especially the girls, were dressed in bum shorts, halter necks, cut off jeans, etc. The clothes in themselves weren't the issue per se; it was the overall look of the children that had me bothered. That was definitely not the first time I noticed it.

A few months before, I had taken my kids to a birthday party and found myself in what could easily have been a night club for kids. Scanty clothing such as tight or very short clothes, bum shorts, long weaves, etc, seemed to be the dress code. I noticed my son glancing around, probably wondering, "What in God's world are these other children wearing?" Or something like that.

Not long after, the kids were called out to dance to the hit songs of the season - these songs in my opinion should be rated PG 16. 4 - 6 year olds trooped to the dance floor, miming the sexually explicit songs and gyrating their bodies in the most sensual manner.
They could have given Beyonce a run for her money. They ran their hands over their bodies, shook their booties hard while their parents cheered them on. The boys had their upper shirts unbuttoned and rapped along perfectly to gangsta raps while doing flawless break dance.

Those who danced like actual children where shooed off the dance floor while the lewd ones were cheered on. As I watched, my child stared out of this circle looking longingly at the others dancing. I knew it was time to leave.

As we left, we went to an eatery where I bought them ice cream and gently explained to them the concept of decency and dancing with decorum.

Another time, at a game arcade for kids, I ran
into a lady who had made-up her kids' faces like they were mannequins for Tara or Mac beauty products. Their skirts were so tight, that running up and down the slide was uncomfortable for them.

So the question is, why are we sexualizing our kids? Why does your 4, 6 or 9 year old girl have to look like a chick? Why does she have to be hot or sexy? Should your 8 year old son go around with a comb in his hair and his pants sagged almost to his ankles?

If your child wears bum shorts out of the house at age 3, why should she
be expected to wear longer ones at 15? If she wears 2 rings and 12 bangles at 6, why won't she pierce a second ear hole at 17 and her bellybutton at 19? Why won't your son pierce his own ear at 15?

Are you setting your children up to be immodest and indecent? What trend are you starting them on? That all these are fashionable or trendy doesn't mean it's ok. What happened to children wearing dresses.
Children can look very nice and decent, they can be well covered and still look good.

In this age, when children are being abused. Is it wise to make your child an object of anyone's sexual attention? When I hear some children belt out sexually explicit lyrics, I ask myself how they became exposed to this songs!

As a parent, you can't play the CD of such songs and not expect your children to pick them up; the same goes for watching Mtv Base, Channel O, etc with your children. Studies have shown that children exposed to a high level of sexually explicit information tend to become sexually active early. Is that your goal as a parent?

Being a parent involves sacrifice. You will need to avoid listening to such music where your children are. Most of those lyrics demean women and teach your daughter that she's just a intimacy gadget and her body is for squeezing. It teaches the boys that money is everything and women are things to be used to satisfy their primal urges. These music introduces them to a degrading pop culture.

Our children have their lives ahead of them, let's set them on the right path by teaching them to dress decently and sing nice or age-appropriate songs. Let your children be children. Train up a child in the way that s/he should go and when s/he is old, s/he would depart from it.

GO TO KENYA THERE ARE VILLAGES THAT WALK UP ND DOWN NUDE AND GUESS WHAT? THEY DONT SEE THEMSELVES AS INDECENT. MORESO THEY DO NOT FORNICATE LIKE THE SO-CALLED DESCENT BLEEPERS THAT WEAR CLOTHS.

PaperLace:
It's the new generation of parents. Especially the mothers, because they are most times responsible for their children's wardrobe. The father on his part lets it slide, thinking it's not his department.

They are all trying to outdo each other these days in fashion through their kids. That's why you see baby girls with hair that even an adult would find heavy _the clothes are something else too. The little boys are seen with dangerous haircuts, sagged jeans, chains and all that. Most adult clothes now have children version, so_ it's the season of fashion madness.

For me, it's not about trying to make them "unattractive" to molesters, as I believe there is no reason enough for that. It's about basic training, some of those outfits are bad on them. Worst thing is, the kids are most times uncomfortable in those wears. They just want to remove them all and play! Let kids be kids.

About the kind of songs they sing and the way they dance _ it's lack of parental control. Some parents are trying to be new school, in the process, they've lost it. I saw one singing "I go chook you chuku chuku" with her daughter, what happened to the "I love you and you love me ", we sang way back?

Then go and be living among them if you want to since you dont see public unclothedness as indescent and become indescent by wearing cloth among them.

Here in yorubaland,the norm and decency is to where cloth and you become indescent if you do otherwise.

Who spends the most time with the children...bringing them up?

Giddyperson:
How would it result in rape biko. Anyone looking at children and getting sexually aroused should check himself into a mental health institution. I think shorts and tights are better suited for kids than they would ever be for adults. Ofcourse no show belle or show butt or makeup for children and I also agree with you about the dancing like strippers. It's ok if kids dress like the attached pictures

Some parents even dress their children like this to church. Church!
