A mother found herself faced with a confusing situation: the lifeguard ordered her to cover her daughter who was shirtless in the pool. The little one is only 2 years old…
Children must learn to swim from an early age and above all float in a swimming pool or in the sea in order to avoid drowning as much as possible. Every year, around 50 children die from accidental drowning.. As parents, it is therefore important to enroll them in lessons so that babies learn to adopt the right reflexes and are comfortable in the water. There are also many safety rules to follow for private pools to avoid any risk of drowning.
Katie Sturino, who shares her life on social networks, recounted the incident experienced by one of her friends and her two-year-old daughter. In a video she shared on her Instagram account @katiesturino she says that two lifeguards came to see her friend and ordered him to cover the child’s chest because “nudity is not allowed at the pool.” Shocked by her friend’s story, she decided to make a video of it and to show the unhealthy sexualization of little girls’ bodies.

Internet users were particularly shocked by this story
Katie Sturino is scandalized and there is reason! As she explains, the little one is only two years old, she is still a baby and it’s okay for little boys to be shirtless at the pool. The influencer then points to a problem that concerns many people: the sexualization of the body of little girls. She explains : “Why are things like this? From this age, we want to control the bodies of girls and make us responsible for everything that happens. And she gives many other really telling examples: hiding to breastfeed, wearing long clothes…
In French law, nothing prohibits little girls from wearing swimming trunks and not wearing a bikini top. At the same time, at this age what is the difference between a little boy’s torso and a little girl’s torso? Finally, there is none and yet again, little boys have more freedom than little girls at the same age and this only increases as they grow up.. The subject pointed out by the influencer was greeted by many Internet users who were shocked by this story!
