Parents say kid's thong is just plain wrong
Clothier selling skimpy skivvies for girls 10 and older

Calling it the "modern-day version of Underoos," a national clothing company is selling thong underwear in children's sizes - with the words "eye candy" and "wink wink" printed on the front.
Abercrombie & Fitch
The rearless underwear comes in sizes for girls ages 10 to 16. The smallest size - a medium - appears small enough to fit an even younger girl.
Quotable
It's cute and fun and sweet.
- Hampton Carney,
spokesman for the Abercrombie & Fitch
It's Frederick's of Hollywood for preteens and teenagers.
- Lisa Maxwell,
parent
It's not appropriate for a 7-year-old, but it is appropriate for a 10-year-old. Once you get about 10, you start to care about your underwear, and you start to care about your
clothes.
- Hampton Carney,
company spokesman
Abercrombie & Fitch, the same retailer that enraged parents last year with a summer catalog of teenage-looking models groping each other and in the nude, now offers several varieties of thongs at its Abercrombie stores, the division of the company for children 7 to 14 years old.
