Just watching the morning news on BBC1 and of course is all about the heatwave. The section about schools starts by showing a close up of two children’s backsides in shorts - presumably in gym kit - the boys backside in longer shorts but the girls backside in very short shorts.
Why on earth is this being used??!!

The BBC don’t think but not do some parents, I was in Waitrose one Saturday morning and a man walked in with his daughter of about 12/13 in just a leotard.

Also why do they send reporters to stand out in the sun when we're all being told to stay inside

For the same reason they send reporters out in the high winds/ snow/ floods. They believe they have to let us lesser mortals know what’s going on outside our front door.

I watched earlier children walking to the local primary school in similar attire Fallingstar.
There is a balance between over sexualising young children and normal clothing, I wouldn’t have wanted my children or grandchildren frightened into ‘covering up’ in case of?
Most molested children are assaulted by a family member or close family friend.
