Came across this rather amusing concern while paging through
The Sun.
" Mum slams Marks and Spencer for ‘encouraging boob jobs’ by selling padded bras for kids as young as NINE
AN outraged mum has slammed Marks & Spencer for selling padded bras for girls as young as NINE , claiming it is encouraging kids to want a boob job.
Laura Milatos, 40, spotted the white cushioned bras in her local store in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and shared a picture on social media.
[Evidently this is suppose to make the reader gag with disgust]
The mum-of-two claims the star-patterned padded bras could lead to young girls wanting bigger boobs and think about getting a boob job.
She has called on the high street chain to move them to a more appropriate section of the store.
But M&S defended the lingerie and said they were "extremely common" and selling them is "normal practice".
Laura said: "I was just browsing the children's clothes section before coming across the bras.
"I was shocked when I saw it and just thought 'Oh my God!' what is it doing there?
"If my ten-year-old daughter put it on it would definitely look as though she had breasts.
"I don't want to give my daughter the idea that bigger boobs are better.
"I want her to grow up knowing having a flatter chest is fine.

Gives one a pretty good idea what kind of chest mommy Laura has.
Anyway . . . . being a male I have little idea if she has a reasonable point here or not; although, it does seem she has rather misguided suspicions about childhood development.
Added question. Is that how bras are sold, by age?
