Advertisers exploiting small children

Noni Hazelhurst (of Playschool fame here in Australia) is the latest to take up the battle against companies and advertisers who exploit children in their advertising by means of posing them and presenting them as "small adults" in adult poses.

This has concerned mothers for quite some time, and yet again, the retailers are falling into the habit of teasing the potential purchasers of particularly clothing by means of suggestive garments.   Bonds (lingerie manufacturers) are the latest to feel the blast of criticism, with their "bralettes" for little girls as young as 6.

Read more about this concern, as well as lots of other subjects in this months issue of RoseMary's NoteBook©, the newsletter that is sent via email.
