I would agree. I think I saw a child photo here at one point and wondered why it was entered. Same for a photo of a dog (I'm a dog lover, but really).

I submitted a light hearted photo of my kid after NOT seeing anything mentioned in rules to the contrary. My entry was DQ-ed with the comment " children don't belong in this challenge!!" .
this tone was a bit snide. I think if children so clearly don't belong then it should be stated in the rules... I checked the other entries before submitting mine and saw a handful of kid photos, a camel, a seal, a few dogs and some ducks ... so clearly I am not the only one so dense as to not "get it".

The seal, goat and camel? jokes.

"Becky", in her underwear suggestively hooking her thumb into her panties, not joking.

The risk of your picture of you kid being misinterpreted from joke to not joke? I don't think they wanted too many other people to not "get it".

From wikipedia: "Sexy is an adjective to describe a sexually appealing person or thing". The thread title clearly implies that the subject is a "sexually appealing person" intentionally showing off the own sexual attractiveness. Fine for adults (and animals, btw), but your own kid? I totally agree with the challenge host.

You have missed my point. Its perfectly understandible that this challenge would not be appropriate for kids, my issue was being made to feel like I'd done something wrong - being dq-ed + snide remark - whereas its incumbent upon the host to set the tone of the challenge by specifying no kids in the rules, instead of using the title of a popular song that actually DOES make light/joke about being sexy.

I am the challenge host. I did not mention that children are not allowed in the rules since it to me is obvious that under aged people should in no way be subject to anything related to what the title implies. I stand up for this opinion no matter how anyone argues otherwise, which to me is very, very strange.

People have different values and opinions, but here I as a challenge host must be very firm. Children do Not(!) belong in this challenge.
Hope for your understanding.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sexy in its mind. Sexyness is not an attribute of children. Many can see it as socially incorrect to portrait children as sexy. The host's decision is socially, politically and for this challenge, correct. Kudos to host.

I agree- children's photos simply don't belong in this challenge

Maybe I'm too sensitive here, but I don't think children photos go very well with that challenge title.
