Mum Slams Disgraceful Reebok Leggings

Mum Slams Disgraceful Reebok Leggings

A mum of five was "gobsmacked" to find offensive slogans printed on a pair of Reebok leggings bought online as a gift for her daughter's ninth birthday.

The words 'Not for your entertainment' were printed on the crotch while 'Don't give a f**k' could be read on the leg.

Kirsty Deal purchased the leggings as a present for her daughter's birthday but only noticed the slogans when she was removing the label so her daughter could wear them to dance class.

Mrs Deal pointed out that she could easily have bought the leggings for a younger child as they were on sale online in ages 7-8y, 9-10y and 11-12y.

According to the Sun newspaper, Reebok have apologised and pulled the leggings from sale, saying the print was not intended for use on the youth/junior range of clothing.

What are your thoughts on this story? Would you have been angry if you'd bought these leggings for your child? Do you find it difficult to buy clothing for your kids that doesn't feature inappropriate words or phrases?

    Far too often you see little children, girls in particular being portrayed as adults. They are making children's versions of adults clothing and thinking it is appropriate. And because it is in fashion, or the 'in thing', there are a group of mothers that feel pressurised to purchase this clothing.

    Stick to your guns. Children grow up far too quickly as it is. Children are supposed to be just that, 'CHILDREN'. I have nothing against parents who want to dress their children in adult attire, each to their own. I just don't think it should be so readily available, and thrust upon you at every corner you turn. Making it harder for you to ignore, as you have the added pressure from your children, and their peers, as well as marketing to join in with the tend.

    I for one will try to hold on to my daughters youth and innocence for as long as possible.
