Young children as young as four years old are being affected mentally by the "sexualisation of toys", medical experts have cautioned.

Psychiatrists are worried that girls could finish up with eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression due to the problem.

Dolls such as the highly successful Bratz collection with miniskirts and fishnets were blasted.

Moreover top selling toys from Disney like the Little Mermaid and Pocahontas have too much cleavage on display.

The report also poured scorn on crop tops and thongs for ten year olds and videos and TV footage.

Eileen Zurbriggen, of the American Psycho-logical Association, is quoted as saying in the Sun newspaper: “The consequences of the sexualisation of girls are very real and negative.”
