Sesame Street pulls Katy Perry video from show

When Elmo met Katie on Sesame Street what happened next wasn't exactly music to parents¿ ears. We played the banned video for parents;
and they all agreed it¿s not Sesame Street material."


"
The different shots were definitely inappropriate where she was baring skin. A lot of that is going on in our society and it forces our kids to think about things prematurely,"
says mom Regina Shumpert-Williams.

This is after all, a show for children. It's also a show many parents grew up watching themselves. Lorraine Travis raised her son on Sesame Street in the 80s. There were musical guests then, too.

"
They were learning a lot from them - their numbers, their abc¿s and a lot of Spanish,"
says Travis.

Now Travis watches with her grandson. She doesn't think Perry¿s outfit is kid-friendly;
but, says it's nothing he hasn't seen before.

For some children, having fun means dressing like Katie Perry. It's one reason you'll find bikinis for toddlers.

Inside Smarty Pants Children¿s Boutique, Michelle Phillips sees the age-old debate all the time. Some blame technology, others blame parents;
most say those innocent playground times end much too soon.
