It seems astonishing but in an age when the only thing companies seem to think about is profits perhaps we should not be too surprised. Primark had been selling a range of bikini sets for children with the tops being padded with the intention of making the children look rather more adult shaped.
Now I am sure that most adults would read that and think it ridiculous so how come Primark failed to do so? To their credit they have responded to criticism by withdrawing the range of items and also intending to donate any profits made on these to a childrens charity but they should be asking themselves how the decision was made to stock such things in the first place.
Let us hope lessons have been learned throughout the retail industry that sexualizing children is not considered to be a good thing to do.
