A little over the top?

I am all in favour of the outlawing of adult type clothes for youngsters, but isn't separating the adult lingerie section from the children's wear section, a little over the top?

We are not talking Anne Summers here, but underwear that some may see their mothers wear on an almost daily basis.

Must admit though in my local departmental stores, I have never seen a model posing as in the picture, I think that would be classed a little over the top.

Oh, I say. She'd soon catch a chill in that.

Yes, definitely over the top IMO, but it's all part of the 'paedo-hysteria' hype that is being deliberately encouraged by our beloved government in order to keep the population in a healthy state of fear, a bit like the so-called terrorist threat.

It does say seperating 'racy lingerie' from areas selling childrens goods. So no I don't think that's over the top. If it was pack of cotton knockers then yes it would.

Childrens wear should be separate from adult wear, and in most department stores i believe they are. I see little girls made up to look like a mini version of trendy mum, which i find quite disturbing, when do they get a chance to be young for heavens sake.

[Slapshot]

Did they say which department store that was in.....need to send the wife for one of them....

Seriously, whole we need to protect younger children from the worst of life, we are in real danger of losing track of common sense

<<<<but underwear that some may see their mothers wear on an almost daily basis.>>

Agent Provocateur is bloody expensive and not the sort of thing that women wear on a daily basis......unless they are very high class prostitutes.

No ....I agree that adult lingerie should be quite separate from the children's wear section.

I have to add though, that some of things brought up in this review are a bit extreme. Kids should be protected but shouldn't be too sheltered

they should put posters like that nearer the menswear... and watch the customer count soar!!

What did C&A evolve into ? I bet it was them (being a firm of 'left footers').

C&A evolved to bankrupcy

I can't see what the government have to gain by this latest bit of legislation, in fact it has nothing to do with the government, in fact it is a report by Reg Bailey, head of Christian charity Mothers' Union and author of a report in the sexualisation of children.

But the so called (as you put it) 'terrorist threat' has, and a jolly good job too.

Are you suggesting, there is no terrorist threat in this country? If so pleas tell me why, in fact tell the whole country, then perhaps we can all stop being vigilant.

[Answerprancer]

a) I see it as yet another government *influenced* knee jerk response to the paedo-hysteria.
b) I accept that there is probably a minor terrorist threat.

a) and b) Both situations are of benefit to the government because a populus kept in a steady state of unease is a population that is pliable easy to influence and control.

I don't for a minute ignore and totally poopoo any threats to national (or international) safety, I just refuse to swallow the whole thing hook line and sinker.

Why should it be separated?

Anyone who looks at racy women's undies, and can't mentally separate that from the children's underwear next to it, should be in a hospital, not in a department store.

...plus I am VERY skeptical about any decisions that are made as a result of religious influence.

[anotheoldgit]

Perhaps I worded it wrong, I was not implying that adult ladies underwear should be on the same racks as the children's, but even so what parent would mistake children's from adults?

I have never see Adults and children's sections together, they are mainly well away from one another, but for instance hiding the adult underwear completely away from children's eyes is to me a little over the top.
