Naomi Campbell, who began her modeling career at fifteen, is calling for a ban on child models. According to the supermodel, no parent should consider allowing a child to model before sixteen.

“My mother said no initially and understandably so. But a month or so before my 16th birthday she said ‘OK you can go and do this shoot’.”

However, she thinks it is down to the individual child: “If your child is healthy and buxom and you think that she’s able then it’s really up to the parent. But I understand why these rules have to be enforced.”
