It's disturbing.

God she's stunning

The pictures look posed and arranged

That's why I think it is all a bit Hallo!, Darth

Sleb Twaddle masquerading as news! All stage managed. Journalists taking the easy route to a headline.

Can't blame the family, it's their job. They'll take/make a photo opportunity as it presents itself!

And that it does make money is our fault - us being the reader, purchaser, consumer of such crap!

I don't see the issue.. a 15 year old in a bikini.

Non issue.

I would never have seen them OP if you didn't post a link.

I think the parents approved the pics as the dad released them, I suspect to help her modelling career and keep her in the public eye.

However I think it's a very different thing to see a 15 year old in a bikini on the beach to having several still shots of the same girl in a bikini in the media, the different context and the fact it's still- life changes it.

YABU, they make bikinis for little kids, its only sexual if the person looking at the picture looks at it in a sexual way. She's not posing provocatively, they're just photos of her having fun on a beach with her family.
You don't make any comment about her brother being pictured along side her in his beachwear topless, or is that "ok" because he's 17, or simply because he's male?
It's a none story, must have been a slow news day.

YABU Personally much prefer to see a 15-yo in a bikini than in a burka. Glad I live in a country where dds are free to wear bikinis to the beach.

I was struggling to identify a couple of people on the Gossip thread. Thanks to this, I think I am there now.

ForalltheSaints · 30/12/2016 16:53

Probably not the first time that the paper that supported the Blackshirts has done this.

Andrewofgg · 30/12/2016 16:58

You don't see the Guardian posting those pics, Blanche.

No, the Guardian is nasty in its own way which is different from the DM's way.

Bitofacow · 30/12/2016 17:10

AndrewofggWhat another paper would or would not publish is not really the point.

The vile way the DM reports on women's bodies is a big problem.

BoneyBackJefferson · 30/12/2016 17:21

Its a stage managed selling of her job as a model, with a bit thrown in for her brother as well.

Andrewofgg · 30/12/2016 17:22

I don't disagree. I don't buy the DM - and I haven't clicked on the link - but I find the smug attitude of the Guardian and so many of its readers equally but differently nauseating.

WorraLiberty · 30/12/2016 17:22

For the love of God

Why do the Daily Mail readers insist on posting links to the Daily Mail, under the guise of something being 'shocking'/'shit'/disgusting/ whatever?

It's a shit newspaper that you read, so why do you post here to share the shit around?

It's like reading a pro hunting magazine and then coming here to complain about hunting Confused

dailymaillazyjournos · 30/12/2016 17:25

This is the DM we are talking about. We're only one small step up from potato printing here.

MsJamieFraser · 30/12/2016 17:28

Tbh she's a model, her mother is a massive model or was, children do wear swim suits in modelling, if you feel uncomfortable viewing a child in public in swim wear, I'd say it's something you need to address.

Bitofacow · 30/12/2016 17:29

Smug is irritating.

Publishing pictures of women and girls and commenting on them is vile. If teenage boys did this we would be, quite rightly, up in arms. Oh is only the DM and don't those girls look pretty? Aaaarrrrggggg

Let me find my copy of The Smug Guardian.

Kaia already has bikini pics on her public instagram account plus she's appeared in Vogue.

A young girl on a public beach with everything covered modestly, I find it odd to publish a photograph but not abhorrent. I saw that picture as a healthy young girl on a beach holiday.

My issue is her being pushed into modelling at 15yo obviously celebrity parents have zero sense!
