AMAZON has been slammed by a Government watchdog after it was revealed sick child sex dolls were being sold on the site.England’s children’s commissioner Anne Longfield branded the dolls as “disgusting” and a “danger to the safety of real children”.
The dolls found on the site were placed in sexual poses and had descriptions such as “100% mimics girl’s body” and “Mannequin Sexy”.
The dolls are sold on the site by third party businesses meaning that whilst Amazon does not sell the products itself, it instead receives money from the sellers.
Anne told the BBC: “These dolls are disgusting and are clearly meant to look like children.
“Not only do I, as Children’s Commissioner, but the wider public also, have a right to expect a huge company like Amazon, to not only remove these products from their platform, but to explain why they are on there in the first place and ensure they can’t just be reloaded having been taken down.
More than a dozen of the dolls were for sale on Amazon Marketplace according to a BBC investigation and one sick ad reappeared on the site three days after it was taken down.
All the child-like dolls have now been completely pulled from the site by the retailer after widespread criticism from Government bodies and charities.
