I believe it's wrong to over sexualize your child; I'm sorry if you don't see a problem in putting a 7 year old on youtube dressed and dancing like that.

They put them on stage at the World of Dance IIRC, not specifically on Youtube. (The parents that is.) My argument is not about how they should dress, but the reasoning behind it. You said, "in a society all too aware of sexual predators." Sexual predators should have no bearing in how you dress your child. There are children at nudist camps, children on the beach in swim suits, children raised with strong taboos about modesty. Kids are raised with the values of their parents and that is what their clothing should be based on. Judge it all you want, that's what we do when we have these discussions.
I just take issue with the concept that sexual predators should be a part of that decision making process. (The same that I take issue that rapists should be a part of my thought process when I put clothes on.)
