Teather: Children ‘bombarded’ by ‘unsuitable’ products

Sarah Teather, children’s minister, comments on the sexualisation of children to the Sunday Times:

“I know when I walk down the high street there is one shop after another marketing highly sexualised clothes to young children: short, tight dresses; T-shirts with unsuitable slogans.

“Parents are under a tidal wave of pressure. There are all sorts of messages that bombard children and make them grow up quicker than parents want them to.”
