More details

This is worrying as many child psychologists are concerned that children will be sexualised at such a young age and will become confused about their own sexual identity. Children, especially this young, are extremely impressionable and must not be sexualised in any way regardless of sexual orientation. Children must remain children and this is unacceptable.
