What is wrong with people!

I just heard on the radio that Abercrombie & Fitch (or whatever their name is!) is bringing out a line of padded bikini swimsuit tops for . . . eight to fourteen year olds. First, not that many eight years olds have enough to warrant a padded, push-up top swimsuit. Second, what mother would want to put her little girl out there for perverts to lust after? There are way too many mothers allowing or encouraging their daughters to dress way above their age group. You just have to wonder what is in it for the mother? Is she that anxious to get her daughter's childhood over and done with so soon?

I was shopping, one day, and overhead a mother encouraging her little girl, who looked about eight years old, to buy thong underwear! A grandfather was treating his granddaughters to a clothing-buying spree and when one of the little girls came up with a pair of faux leather jeans, the grandfather actually exclaime, "Oh, get them, honey! You will look SO hot in them!" I was wondering where to turn in 'funny' grandfathers.

It seems to me in my antiquated opinion that morals and modesty make growing up so much easier. I raised my daughters with the same values and they dress nicely but modestly. One of their friends, who was about twelve years old at the time, was told she needed to loosen up in her outfits. She dressed modestly. The elderly man said the way she dressed, she probably sat at home all week reading the Bible!

Now, our parents were raised with a moral mind set so it is very disturbing when you observe and hear such as the above.

A news report said that there are several countries in the world today that do not believe in God at all. Seems reasonable as so many wayward mothers are wiping any thought of God out of their minds with the skimpy bits of clothing they put on their little girls.
