I was walking to pick my daughter up from school. I had my son trailing a long. As we were walking three kids came out and started walking in front of us. The big brother must have been maybe 12, than a little boy possibly 2 and the ittle girl possibly 3 or 4. I noticed right away what I think her mom should have noticed, especially in leaving the house. As she was walking you could clearly see her underware. She didnt even need to bend over. Now maybe Im a prude, but I dont find it approriate when a childs underware is showing especially with so many perverts out there. When my daughter was younger and even now, if she wears a dress I have her wear shorts under. She is 8 and still dosent think about when she sits, like sitting cross legged. I also dont allow my daughter to have shorts that are to high up. I usually buy her shorts where they fall right above the knee. I was just a little disturbed that this little girl was running around with her underware showing.

I appreciate you for being a keen observer and so protective! You're child must be so lucky having you as their mother. You got good values and conservative which i think a good example to the society. Keep that up!
I don't know what her mother was thinking or doing! Maybe it's the helper/nanny of the kid who dressed her. It's very inappropriate because pedophilias are just out there. So, mother's like you should share this to the world :)

Thank you very much. I try my best with my kids and even though I know I have my faults I try my best to keep them safe and teach them self respect. I know things are different now than when I was younger. Still even when I was younger this would not have ben allowed. Like you said there are to many ppl who will do harm to anyone and something like this is an open invitation.

Oh how awful! You are right.. that was not appropriate at all. There are way too many pervs out there who would be more than willing to harm a little girl. Maybe the mother wasn't paying attention very much... certainly she should notice that showing underwear is not right.

You would definatly think so. Its sad to know this was allowed or the mother didnt notice. So many ppl out there would take this as an invitation. Its sick what ppl will do to others, especially a child. We need to make sure they dont attract any more attention than they already do.

There is no excuse for any parent to allow their child to go out with their underwear showing. There are too many people out there who want to take advantage of young people and that are up to no good. I hope that she sees that this is a mistake and fixes the clothes that she allows her to wear.
It is a great idea to have your daughter wear shorts under her dresses. I had never really considered that for either of my girls.

Kids will be kids and when my daughter was younger and I saw toddler girls running around and playing in dresses and their undies showing I didnt want to see my daughter like that or have others see her that way. So I have her wear shorts. I remind her how to sit and act when in a dress, but kids will be kids. Plus she dosent wear dresses much. Until she remembers how to sit and act when in a dress she will wear shorts.

I agree with you!!!! My little granddaughter usually wears a cute dress but they fall right below her knee or lower. Letting a little done dress like that is giving temptation to some pervy....they are every where these days and you can't be too careful!

Exactly. I think it was the dress was to small for her. might have fit her every where else, but not in length. A simple little pair of shorts would have solved this problem. No little girl should be running around with her undies sticking out.

It is not all mom that are responsible enough to handle children style of dressing. Most of them do not teach their children important things that they need to know to enable them take a decision in life.

Yes, children should be taught how to dress appropriatly. This child was pretty young though to be thinking about if her underware is showing. I try my best to teach my kids how to dress appopriate and not draw attention to themselves by showing things that shouldnt be shown. To just have respect for your self and others. I know I didnt enjoy noticing this childs underware was showing. I am disgusted by this fact and was worried about any perverts seeing this child. If the mother had been walking with them I would have told her, your daughters underware is showing. I dont know if it would have done any good, but at least someone would have brought it to her attention.

I agree with you! The dress should be long enough not to have the underwear peeping through. In fact, I think it should be long enough not to have that happen if the child raises her arms above her head. If the underwears are meant to be seen, they wouldn't be called underwear. =P

Very true. I think the same thing, underware is underware. I know Moms get busy and caught up in their daily life, Im a Mom of two, but I still make sure my kids are appropriate when leaving the house.

you make the world sound like such a worst place! i don't blame you it probably is. anyways i think yah its kinda inappropriate for anyone to let show their undies for whatever reason, i mean they are called under wears for a reason. Nowadays i even see boys shagging their pants showing there under wears and i am like 'WTH is going on?!' and then i just look away telling myself 'yah its the so called new fashion in the hood!' Pretty disturbing.

I see guys with their pants to their ankles. A few weeks ago I saw a grown man whos pants were so baggy and his belt not tight enough he had to hold them up with one hadn while walking. I know its the so called fashion, but do they know how dumb they look? I dont make the world sound like a horrible place, its not all rainbows and butterflies though. I just dont like seeing children running around with their undies showing. I dont care to see guys walking around with their pants on the ground. To each his own, but a childs parents should know their are nasty ppl out there and we need to protect our children.

I agree with you tink.
As a parent, we should guide our daughters, most specially to dress properly, specially when they will be going out.
When my daughter was still a kid, i too would still make her wear short shorts under her skirt, so that when the wind blows it will not be shameful if she is only wearing an underwear.
With that,my daughter grew up wearing shorts under her skirt uniform.

I totally agree with you, there's a lot of pervs around, just waiting for occasions like this. And when trying to get the children to understand things like sitting properly, I think that teaching that "girls don't sit that way" it's a better approach than just making them wear shorts, etc. just because.

I agree I teach my daughter how to sit in a dress or skirt, but she still forgets. She dosent wear dresses much since she dosent like them. Needless to say though its hard to teach a toddler in a dress to go down a slide with their legs crossed. Thats why i recomend something to cover the diaper or undies so others dont see.
