Colorado store sparks outrage by selling crotchless thong panties for children
A children's store in Colorado has been forced to pull its range of crotchless underwear for children after sparking outrage among local parents.

Mother Erin French visited the new store at Greeley Mall, Kids N Teen, where she said kids' backpacks are on sale among princess dresses.

'Then we saw crotchless panties. And I was mortified,' she told Colorado's 9 News channel. 'My first initial response was "Am I really seeing that?"'

<snip>

'They're sized to fit a seven-year-old - that's just totally inappropriate,' the mother-of-two said.

The store defended itself by claiming that 25% of it's products are aimed at teenagers.

ANYTHING FOR A BUCK!!!
We are insane. Not all of us, but a society that could produce something as tasteless and twisted as that.

6. What? No penis pumps or dildos? Must not be profitable
Crotchless lingerie for a 7 year old is probably something even a pedophile doesn't dare think of. Yuck!

9. So this store is "still trying to figure out what to include as merchandise?"
Here's a clue for them: Crotchless panties for seven-year-olds doesn't cut it. :eyes:

12. I could not see any teen over 14 being caught dead in that store
so, are they selling to 13 and 14 year olds? And, I kind of doubt any 13 year old would willingly walk into that store. The fact that they've already sold some of them is horrifying.
