Sexy children's costumes raise concerns
Some Houstonians believe the costumes are too risque05:43 PM CDT on Friday, October 10, 2008
HOUSTON—Halloween is two weeks away, but some parents are outraged over children’s costumes they say are too risque.
“I think it’s really sad that they’re doing that. I think kids grow up way to fast already, so I’m trying to keep mine little and stay away from all the big girl things, that are not even big girl, they’re more adult,” said Rae McIlrath.
She says some costumes for girls show way too much skin and are in appropriate for youngsters.
McIlrath and other parents are asking for more traditional costume like skeletons, pumpkins, and princesses.
In the end, retailers say, it is the parents who decide what costume to buy their children.
