to think that this image should not be on the internet?

Was looking at sweaters and came across this picture of the blue shorts. Should this really be online or am I being a bit OTT?

In case you don't see the issue at all, I don't think showing a child's crotch in this detail is acceptable. Am I being mad?

Gosh, you’re a fun lot today.

Half seem to think it is explicit and I should be shot as a paedophile for posting it and the other half that I’m an idiot and/or a paedophile to even think that.

The reason I wanted my initial response checked was because I know I am overly sensitive to these risks for my own children. My partner is a criminal barrister and knowing the large number of “indecent images of children” cases he deals with I’m aware that I overreact to the risk. I just wanted a sense check. Next time I feel like this (assuming there is a next time) I’ll just email the company anyway and say “I might be mad but please take a look”.

And as for disseminating this further, I doubt most people looking for indecent images see mumsnet as their key hunting ground. While I wouldn’t ask for a sense check here again, I will say I don’t think I was stupid to think that fellow parents might be able to say “that’s fine, don’t overreact” or “yeah, that’s a bit off, drop them a line”.

And I have now gone on their web chat and done just that

By "half" i presume you mean "none'??

All I see are people taking the piss you of you.

I doubt they'll use House of Bruar as their hunting ground either.

That is a very fair point tbh.

On that note, I’ll accept I’m an idiot 🫡
