It may be all right for girls to bathe topless in pools in, say, Brazil, but don't try going topless at a water park in Detroit -- even if you're only 3 years old.
Karima Sorel and her daughter Suhayla Smith, 3, learned that the hard way Wednesday when security guards at Wayne County's Chandler Park Family Aquatic Park called police on Sorel because she allowed her daughter to play in the pool topless.
Topless toddlers apparently can spark lust in adults who are sexually attracted to children -- at least that's what Sorel said the park's security guards repeatedly told her during the standoff.
"If there are pedophiles in your park, please harass them and leave my daughter and me alone," Sorel said she told the guards.
So Sorel held her ground -- or better still -- waded deeper into the pool.
The guards then threatened to call Detroit police on Sorel and her topless tot. And finally, at Sorel's own urging, they did.
