#ToddlerBikini: Parents need to be aware of risks of photo sharing

Posted on News · May 11, 2018 11:06 AM

It is a reminder to parents to take great care when posting images of their children on social media, to consider their privacy settings and possible risks to their children.

UPDATE: California Kisses removes paedophilc 'pop that' ads after Collective Shout pressure

Posted on ‘Pop This’: how the dance industry caters for paedophilic fantasies with underage girls by Caitlin Roper · June 11, 2015 1:08 PM

In April Collective Shout ran a piece by Jemma Nicoll (first published on MTR) exposing the harmful online practices of global dancewear label California Kisses (CK). The company's homepage advertisement featured three models aged 12-16 posed alongside the slogan 'Pop That', a popular porn-inspired phrase referring to the 'popping' of her cherry, or the taking of virginity.

The article called CK to account on its unmonitored social media activity- almost 300,000 followers, mostly teenage girls, were exposed to online trolls posting abusive, paedophilic comments on the images of CK child models.  

On 29 April, Collective Shout wrote to the four Australian dancewear retailers that stock CK, including Showcase- the licence-holders for on-selling the label in Australia. We invited stockists to respond by removing the label from their stores and letting the company know, until CK decided to demonstrate corporate social responsibility and ethical online practices.

Showcase did not respond. Out of the other retailers contacted - Tu Tu Cute Dance Supplies, Pirouette and Daisy Dancewear -Collective Shout received only one patronizing email reply from Tutu Cute Dance Supplies in Perth, WA which showed complete disregard for the online safety of young girls and ethical practices in children's advertising:

CK did not respond directly to the accusations made in the piece or to the general outrage expressed on social media in response. However we note that the company has since quietly removed the 'Pop That' slogan from their on-line advertising. CK's Instagram account is currently clear of paedophilic comments. 

Thanks to all who helped us put pressure on CK to stop borrowing from a porn genre in their dance wear advertising.
