Cindy Crawford is being criticized for letting her 5-year-old daughter pose for pictures that some are calling kiddie porn. The pictures of Kaya posing in swimsuit bottoms and topless and with a tattoo on her back have now been pulled from a trendy beachwear website. Has Cindy crossed the line? Click here to see the pictures and decide for yourself. The Lowdown reports:

Trendy Melissa Odabash beachwear - which has outfitted celebs such as Britney Spears, Uma Thurman and Pamela Anderson - yesterday announced it will pull pics of Kaya from its Web site.
One shows the 5-year-old daughter of Crawford and nightclub owner Rande Gerber posing topless, peeking over her left shoulder at the camera, with white shorts with a lower-back tattoo. Others show her in a string bikini.
Another critic wrote: "The topless one with the back tattoo and the provocative pose borders on kiddie porn. The child is cute and makes an excellent model, but the poses and the swimsuits are far too sexualized for children. Shame on you, Cindy, to let your 5-year-old baby participate in this."
Crawford's PR rep initially laughed off the criticism. "Oh my God, that's ridiculous," she said yesterday. "It's a stick-on tattoo!" Asked for a comment from Kaya's parents, the flack said: "Cindy's friends own this company. It was just a fun little photo shoot they did in Malibu one day. Kaya is not modeling."
We knew the pics we posted the other day would create backlash but it looks like Cindy isn't too worried. She seems more worried about being accused of using Botox. Based on these images from the Runway For Life St Jude's Childrens Hospital Charity Event, what do you think? We've seen Cindy in person and she really is stunning - even better looking in person.

Cindy should have known better! I did find that ONE photo a lil distrubing the rest I thought were cute. But Cindy should know there are sickos out there who are going to exploit her daughters pix!
1she is very cute little girl, but I'm glad there is a damn backlash! WTF was she thinking, I mean really, hello?!
2Thank you critic... exactly right. Shame on Cindy. Of all people.. she should know that ads are used to objectify the model and that people may look at that picture and see a child being sexy. Shame on you. Some man out there could be beating off to your child.
Im a believer in the power of BAMZS!
3That one pic was horrible. Bordering on kiddie porn, for sure!! The other pics were really cute. There's nothing wrong with a 5 year old girl in a swim suit or even topless, as long as the little girl is doing LITTLE GIRL THINGS. Not posing seductively. Yeesh.
4Way to be ahead of the bunch POP!! We all called this yesterday. Cindy is a very irresponsible parent with reguards to this!!! I am glad she is getting the BACKLASH she deserves!!
5The thought that there are nasty people that look at these pics in a sexual aspect is really disgusting. I would never facilitate some disgusting pervert to be getting his rocks off to a pic of my topless 5 yr old daughter. Not cool at all. Very disturbing. I think Cindy made a mistake by allowing this.
6And I always thought that she seemed like one of the smarter supermodels. Her values must be really warped if she thinks that photos like that of her little girl are OK.
I kind of have new respect for celebrities who try to keep their kids under wraps. I think that my favorite celebrity mom is Reese Witherspoon...I can't imagine her letting Ava pose for these sort of photos.
7That is kiddie porn. I used to love Cindy...no more. Charges need to be filed. While they are at it file some agianst Paris. her video was sick.
8Crawford's PR rep initially laughed off the criticism. "Oh my God, that's ridiculous," she said yesterday. "It's a stick-on tattoo!" Asked for a comment from Kaya's parents, the flack said: "Cindy's friends own this company. It was just a fun little photo shoot they did in Malibu one day. Kaya is not modeling."
She certainly IS modeling if the pics are on a website for a company. And yes, we KNOW it's a stick on tattoo. THAT'S not the criticism, you dumb b*tch. The pose was a little too provocative for a five year old, plain and simple.
9Her rep sounds stupid. It obvious its not the stick on tat anyone is worried about. Its the pose. Like someone stated yesterday if she was sitting playing in the sand topless looking back it would be different, but she is a 5 year old posing in a very provocative way, with tat that men call bullseye's and tramp stamps? So wht if its a copy cat of what momma did keep to urself in the family Cindy. This woman as beautiful an good of a model or whatever it is she does, seems to have her damage control issues backwards. SHE not her publicist should be making a statement saying that tho she doesnt see the pics that way bc they are of her DD she appreciates all the concern that someone might take the pics an use them for horrible reasons, she should then donate some money or time or effort into catching idoits that like child porn and produce it! It may be a simple fun family photo shoot and the other pics are goregous and fun for a 5 year old but that one photo is the problem no child needs to b veiwed in that way and if were cindy id be focusing more on the fact that now my little girl just may be a target for pedifiles across the GD Globe
10Yikes, you'd think they would have known better.
11thank god their removing those photos, her mother should be slapped.
12ok honeslty i agree with whoever said this SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13t0xxic, ugh! You are so right about that tattoo and the statement it makes. I have not been this outraged in a long time. Cindy saw those pictures. She should take some responsibility.
14I agree with all the comments. Too sexy for a little girl.
15Only the topless photo was inaappropriate. The other ones are absolutely fine. There isn't anything wrong with a kid wearing a bikini. Speaking as someone who has photographed children professionally, those other shots just appear to be natural candids of kids having fun. She is eating in one shot, running in another and hugging her friend. What is the big deal.
16Here's the thing: my son has a website with pictures for my folks back home. We won't post anything that even has a whiff of salaciousness because of the freaks out there looking for images of kids. They ARE out there...and they are looking. Anyone see those dateline shows where they busted tons of guys for soliciting sex from minors? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe Cindy didn't stop to think-- as her life has pretty much revolved around looking provocative. I hope she learns from this experience.
17I wouldn't call the pic kiddie porn, but I did think it was a very adult pose, much too provocative for a child.
18We all agreed on this yesterday, while it's not porn porn. Any freak out there would see it and like it and that alone is dangerous
19She deserves to be critized for letting her child pose like these.If she knew she was going to be critized than she should not put the pics on the internet!
20A stick-on tattoo? Really, Cindy? Gee, we all thought it was real. (*rolls eyes) I wonder how Cindy would feel if she knew some perv was whacking off to her daughter's picture. But nevermind, convincing the world she never had Botox or PS (*stifles laughter) is SO much more important.
21I don't have much to say on this, I'm just posting to show off my avatar that Jen76 made me! lol
22I find it very sad that there are some very sick minds out there. Some of the pics are very cute, but the one of her topless is yes, a little disturbing, seeing that there are some sicko's out there, and might get turned on by it. Child molestation and child perverts, needs to be addressed more and more. Make children aware of what is right and wrong when it comes to adults. I also feel that convicted molesters/perverts should be sent to jail for life or receive the needle. These types of people will never EVER change. They are just polluting our country. Just my opinion.
23LOL Jinx!!
24Ooops, I meant to add, now heres a worthwhile stick on tattoo on Wenty!
25LMAO Jen! *huggles*
26Okay seriously I doubt that it even struck Cindy that it would blow up like this! I have two children my little girl poses like that all the time. They think their cute. I doNOT see anything wrong with that pic. The only problem I have is that there are SICK A$$ people out there that would actually get turned on by this. Thats the people you should be bashing NOT a MOM that isnt a sick freak, and thats a cute pic. I understand that MAYBE its to much to be on a child, but for real, it was all out of innocence.
27LOL Jinxy, but seriously they put a tramp stamp on the kid.
In Spain they blur out kids faces on TV news shows and magazines. ONly allowing it in the case of advertising and TV shows.....It's a safety thing. These pictures wouldn't fair very well here.
28Were these pictures on Pop the other day? I will look them up, because I honestly didn't pay attention.
29I agree with you Cyn. They will never change and they should be punished. Children that their innocence has been took from them, thats something thats always with them. I just have a problem with everyone bashing Cindy when it really shouldn't be a big deal, but we make it into a big deal because were being considerate of a perv?? This is my opinion, so I am not tryin to change anyone else's mind.
30I also found them disturbing... those were not innocent little girl pics... a string bikini and a tattoo? Come on Cindy....
31Who the hell was being "considerate of a perv"? Yes, there are pedophiles out there and they cruise the net looking for pictures JUST LIKE the one of Kaya topless. Cindy is getting "bashed" for allowing that picture to be posted on a website where some ped can get his rocks off looking at it. Aren't we supposed to protect children from this?
32You know, I was thinking the same thing when I saw those pics yesterday. I thought they looked like kiddie porn shots and that the pervs would prolly get ahold of them and go nuts!
33Hooooo-boy! What a can of worms this has opened!
100% I am not arguing the fact that the pics were okay to go on the internet, but that this pics are not the worst thing a mom could do. Also I am not tryin to change YOU or anyone else's mind about the situation.
34you know what I think, there's nothing wrong with taking pictures like that for you and your family, but then to put them on the web? why? It's inviting the perverts in to your life!
35Cindy should be ashamed.
36I am surprised at Cindy. She should have known better. There are perverts out there. That photo with Kaya topless was definitely inappropriate.
37I'm so glad they pulled those pictures. It's good that it was a famous person's child, b/c otherwise there might not have been enough exposure for a backlash. Hopefully this will be a wake-up call to that catalog (not to mention to Cindy and her husband!!!) - these kind of pictures of little girls are WRONG. They are a pedophile's dream.
38Personally, I thought the pics were cute. The topless one was a bit much. But what's so different from her being topless & Courtney Cox-Arquette having CoCo in nothing but a swim diaper??? Last time I checked, she's a girl too. Besides, Kaya's Bikini had more material than what some grown women wear in front of children.
39I am 100% with you Savanna. I think that people are just over reacting. She doesn't look like anyone FORCED her to pose like that. She just looks like she was being a cute little girl. I think that the pervs of the world can find any picture stimulating, and that the Celebs shouldn't have to worry about how people will perceive their cute pictures. And that's my two cents.
40Yeah, I don't know if I so much agree with all the bs. I think that if you have a naughty mind, it doesn't matter WHAT pose she's doing, perverts are going to think what they want. I've got poses my daughter did at 3-5 and she would copy Marily Monroe.....does that make me a bad mommy? If not, then is it just because the pics weren't a modeling gig?
Believe in Magic!
41I think I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't particularly disturbed by the pics.
42SweetPea, Savanna - I'm with you guys. I don't see anything particularly wrong with the pics. I think it's a bit extreme to call it child porn. The only thing that might be dicey is being famous...there are probably some security risks involved that wouldn't be an issue with just some random person's child. But seriously those who read into it..the problem is with their mind...
43what on earth is the matter with you people??? She's FIVE for cripe's sake and should be free to be "topless" wtf does she have to cover up?? This American puritanism is nauseating and reaching epidemic proportions. Sheesh. She'd look a heck of a lot cuter in that "bikini" if it was just the bottom - triangle tops look idiotic on little girls - they have nothing to cover up and look seriously tacky in full "big girl" regalia. Loosen up people.
44I agree with you sweet pea. I feel that a pedophile will get turned on by a school picture of a kid if that is what they are into. Obviously it is our responsibilities as parents to monitor our children and try to prevent them from harm, but we should not be so petrified that we blow such simple innocent things out of proportion.
45amen springchicken..plus kids love to be naked. i babysit one little girl who's favorite thing to do is strip in the other room then run around me in circles and laugh her ass off...
46I didn't see em*
47Cindy and her rep are being defensive!
48In addition to working toward a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, I currently assist in rehabilitation programs inside two state prisons in Ohio. While I do not work with pedophiles (and do not believe that it is even possible to rehabilitate a pedophile), I have had the opportunity to view the actual scrapbooks compiled and treasured by some convicted pedophiles. These books contain real photos of children as well as photos cut from magazines and newspapers. There is no way I can describe to you the horror that one feels when taking this peek into the mind of a child molester. What I can tell you is that photos of this nature are absolutely what these sick individuals get off on. So...is the picture itself "pornographic"? Obviously, the answer is no. Is the child posed in a way that is too mature, too suggestive? I believe so. Is the photograph one that would encourage and excite a pedophile? Absolutely...and why would any mother want to place their child in that position by allowing these photos to be public?
49god what is this world coming to? who doesnt have a naked bathtub photo, which is essentially what these pics are. you know if we allow perverts run our lives, then they have won. im sorry but if cindy wants to take pictures of her child, then its her right as a mother to do so.
