Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has
faced the wrath of child protection advocates after a young girl in a bikini
featured on her lifestyle website.
Paltrow's Goop.com site sells
swimwear designed by Melissa Odabash, and shows pictures of a little girl
wearing one of the two-piece creations, as well as beach cover-ups.
The outfits, which are
described as "great for girls who want to look grown up", have
sparked outrage among campaigners who claim the images sexualise children,
reports dailystar.co.uk.
"We remain very opposed
to the sexualisation of children and of childhood. The dangers have been
discussed at length, so it is a great pity that such trends continue and that
they carry celebrity endorsement," Claude Knight of Kidscape, a foundation
set up to prevent child abuse, told the Daily Mail newspaper. (Source)
