It's the Daily Mail.
ust so you are aware, the Daily Mail sees itself as a campaigning paper. They campaign against everything.
According to their orthodoxy, children were happiest in the 1950s, the country is run best when the Conservative party is in power, the Americans will soon realise that their experiment with demcracy was mistaken and beg the English (not British) throne to take them back, the country (the UK) is being over-run by illegal imigrants, anyone who loks at a child in the stret is a pervert who will kidnap tem, have sex with them (photographing and videoing it for the pedopile internet sex gang), and then kill them (in a snuff movie).
The paper uses a horrifically one-sided exagerated level f hyperbole that is astonishing.
It is worth noting that the Mail flies in the face of avaialble evidence - most imigrants to this country contribute more in tax than they take in benefit, sex crime (including that against children) is at it's lowest recorded level EVER and so on.
Looking at the pictures, it is clear that in at least to of the cases they have pulled the shirts up to the armpits of the models to make out that they are crop tops. They really aren't.
If anyone is sexuallising children it's the journalist that chose these pictures.
I regularly shop in several of the chains mentioned with our daughter (7) and have not seen any clothes presented in those stores in the manner that they are written about in this article.
Consider this: most shops sell kids knickers. they sell rain hats. They sell scarves and handbags.
That does not mean that they are encouraging me to send my daughter to school in only knickers a rain hat and a scarf, clutching a handbag.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
