It´s unbelievable, and they were actually on sale. Sadly this is not the first time this sort of thing has occurred with some big name stores.

Primark were however quick off the mark in the face of protests and pressure from various child protection organisations.

A Primark spokesman said this morning: 'Primark has taken note of the concern this morning regarding the sale of certain bikini tops for girls, a product line that sells in relatively small quantities.
'The company has stopped the sale of this product line with immediate effect. Primark will donate all the profits made from this product line to a children's charity, and apologises to customers for any offence caused.'

Tell me about it...imagine being the mom of two preteen girlies very mad

we live in a constant state of disagreement over what they are allowed to leave the house in...not to mention purchase! And all of the major manufacturers making their mini versions of women's clothes and lingerie...grrr frustrated

our babies don't know how to stay little girls anymore with all of this aggressive marketing geared towards them.
