I am by no means a prude and I respect everyones right to express themselves as they see fit but I'm with you all. I've been it the super market a couple of times and seen girls..and I do mean GIRLS..under 12 wearing "shorts" less than six inches in length. Hip bones plus a few inches exposed. Sixish year old girls with skirts hardly covering anything, and my heartfelt fear is that there are so many perverts in the world, how could you ever let your child out there with that sort of covering or rather NOT on? It scares me to death to see kids out there by themselves that ARE covered up.. I can't imagine letting them out in public like that. Frankly if they were nude it would be less provocative. If you are 21 and can handle yourself, fine..dress that way and deal with the consequences but for the love of pete these kids can't understand what they are inviting. No one asks or deserves to be assaulted but there are certainly ways to avoid being the object of violence.
I just don't understand the parents of these kids allowing this sort of behaviour.
