In response to the Balenciaga ad campaign featuring children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage outfits, Fox News’ “Outnumbered” contributor Todd Piro said Monday that the lines of acceptable boundaries have been blurred when it comes to children and sex.
“We need to stop it,” Piro said. “There is no acceptable boundary. This is leading to child exploitation in record numbers.” (RELATED: Balenciaga Used Child Models To Advertise Kink, Bondage Teddy Bears)
Fox Contributor: “This isn’t Republican, Democrat, man, woman, this should be all of us. If you’re a parent, if you are a decent human being, kids and sex should NEVER be combined. We have to end it. We have to end it now!” pic.twitter.com/CISJ0Tsea0

Piro said that as the father of two daughters, the ad campaign is “sickening” and pushback “should be a bipartisan thing.”
“This isn’t Republican, Democrat, man, woman,” Piro said. “This should be all of us. If you’re a parent, if you are a decent human being, kids and sex should never be combined. We have to end it. We have to end it now!”
Balenciaga featured and posted a series of sexually suggestive ads that featured children, including some that included documents of a child pornography court ruling. The luxury fashion brand removed the ad campaign Tuesday, then filed a $25 million lawsuit against the producers of the ad campaign, according to the New York Post. Though Balenciaga signed off on the campaign, the fashion house alleges that North Six and Nicholas Des Jardins included the court documents without its knowledge, calling it “malevolent” and “extraordinarily reckless,” according to the lawsuit.
In response, Kim Kardashian said she needs to reevaluate her relationship with the high luxury retailer.
As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.

“Kim, you’re a mom,” Piro added on during the show. “There’s nothing to reevaluate. Ditch this brand immediately.”
