THIS EXISTS: Crotchless Panties For 7-Year-Olds

We’re not fancy sociologists or anything, but we take it as a definite sign of the times when a retailer thinks it’s appropriate to sell crotchless underwear to kids so young they can’t drive, smoke or vote.

A recently opened store at a shopping mall in Greeley, Colo. called Kids N Teen was doing just that. Alongside stuffed animal backpacks and cutesy sweater sets aimed at the under-10 set, there were leopard thong underwear that on one concerned mom’s cell phone camera looked like they were split down the crotch.

The mother spoke out in an interview, calling the store to task for trying to sell its decidedly pre-pubescent customers on something so squarely sexual.

“There is one purpose for an item of that nature, and that is not something we want to encourage in our young girls.”

After complaints from mall management, the store owner took the panties off the shelves, but defended the stores decision to display the panties by saying that some of its merchandise is aimed at teenagers. Teenagers who need to pick up SpongeBob lunch bags for their little brothers, apparently.

    Don’t worry, the media will soon explain how intolerant we are.

    Here’s the thing: no prepubescent girl can even go in and buy them. PARENTS buy them for their kids. The fault is laid there. If the parents didn’t buy them, the product wouldn’t exist. Pure supply and demand.

    This just in — Safeway sells condoms for 1 year olds because it displays them in the same aisle as Gerber baby products (bottles, pacifiers, etc).

    Did you try them on a 7-year old to verify your allegation, or did you just repeat Jezebel’s headline without thinking?

    People are twisted and here is just more proof.  This isn’t just something that shouldn’t be sold, it’s something that no one should manufacture.

    I agree that parents are responsible for what their children have access to, but I also thing that manufacturers and stores are responsible for what they make and what they offer on a retail level. 

    I wouldn’t shop there just for this reason.  Shouldn’t support clueless jerks trying to make a buck off of the inappropriate.

    Law enforcement should grab the sales receipts and quickly go after the sickos who actually BOUGHT some of the crotchless child undies. The store should be considered co-conspirators if and when the crotchless child undies show up during a child kidnapping, molestation, and murder investigation.

    If the liberals had their way, every seven year-old girl in America would be wearing crotchless panties and having monthly abortions.

    Sick & twisted is the only logical way one can look at this…

    All of your claims are baseless and lies are a prude. You don’t know what your talking about.

    I lay blame on the parents that would buy a thong for a 7 year old. A&F sold bikini’s for 7 year olds I think they had to pull it because of the outrage I heard that on Across America With Spencer Hughs on Fox Radio this past spring maybe it was summer.

    Rock, I made no claims and told no lies. I DO know what I’m talking about but YOU, who knows . . . . you can’t tell Spring from Summer.

    why aren’t these mfrs brought to court for distributing these highly sexual panties? the pedophiles will surely love these kids if they can catch them. what parent would encourage their doll playing child to wear these panties?

    EVEN IF THEY WEREN’T CROTCHLESS… WTF? why should there be thongs to fit 7yr. olds Or even 14-15 yr. olds, if you ask me!!  PARENTS DO need to get on top of this!!! I mean I was young once too, and at 13-14-15, yeah; you’re always wishing that you were older. Still it boggles my mind that a parent would let their daughter at 13-14-15 wear thongs and low rider jeans so that it’s readily apparent they’re wearing thongs!! Not to mention all the makeup, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick…. Absolutely NONE of this is appropriate until they are 18!!!
