Crotchless Panties For Toddlers.. Are They Serious?

            I’m not sure about you guys, but I would NEVER buy crotchless panties for my daughter. At a store called Kids N Teen in Greeley, Colorado, Erin French found crotchless thongs displayed near kids’ merchandise. Captured by a cellphone camera, French showed a video of the panties to the news station. They are pink with leopard print, lacy, and without a crotch. Clearly these undergarments are promoting sex. It is obvious. So why would a store sell these undergarments to children?! Seriously, the world needs a reality check. A writer for the Heckler Spray blog wrote, “The owner of Kids N Teen says that 25% of her merchandise is actually for teens, which explains the whole crotchless knickers thing, right? Wait. Are they saying that it is okay for minors to buy crotchless knickers? Is that what's going on here?" This is seriously disgusting and disturbing. Its no wonder why children are having sex earlier and the rate of teenage pregnancies is rising. UGH!!!

            The author of this article has a clear and obvious bias. The author writes, “We definitely agree; it's hard to argue that adult products like this should be displayed on the counter for teens to purchase at the mall” and “Crotchless panties at a children's store? Nope, we're not kidding…” (cnn.com). The writer uses quotes from Erin French, the woman who found the crotchless underwear and included the video she took. This was a factual and interesting article but it is unfortunate that it had to be about this kind of subject matter.
