Walks through the lake and her bathing suit is SEE THRU!
She's 10ish and is obviously slow. I was thinking about buying her an outfit. If your kid came home with an outfit would you toss it or let her keep it? I dont want to waste my money and I never see her parents.

Your concern makes it sound like you have children of your own. Even if my assumptions are incorrect, I would go through all of your clothing and see what clothes you have outgrown or don't wear anymore and pile it all up in a bag. Find a way to talk to the girl's parents and just say something casual like "I was cleaning out my closet the other day and I have all of these clothes that I would feel guilty throwing away. Do you think any of this stuff might interest you?".
But, if it's none of your business, it's none of your business.

A ten year old girl shouldn't be roaming around in a lake in a see through bathing suit all by herself. I can understand if she is slow and maybe that is all her parents can get her to wear, kids can be obsessive over one outfit or whatever. But the fact that you never see her parents is very concerning. You should call child protective services and some may not like that answer but she can be kidnapped or drown and there is no adult nearby to help, especially being that she is "slow."
If you want to buy her an outfit and/or a better swimming suit... go for it. It would be a good time to ask where her parents are and if they are watching her from some distance, they should be there in a heart beat to see their child talking to a stranger.

Not sure why this guy telling you that you could be a model was so traumatizing to you! He was probably trying to be friendly. Perhaps he was a major weirdo, but I think you're over reacting. Just don't go wondering around alone. Don't hang out at the pizza [pizza. I'm really confused why this has made such an impact on you. Sorry if I sound insensitive, but the man may have been odd, but he didn't touch you or say anything inappropriate. Did I misunderstand something?

I would at least try....you are a good person for caring so much!! If her parents are never to be seen and her bathing suit is see through, honestly, they probably won't care enough even to ask where she got it. When you give her the suit, ask her some simple questions...like...Where's your mom and dad?.....It could be a neglect case...I would investigate further. In any case, there's no excuse for a 10ish year old girl walking around in clothing like that. If your finding are worse than you originally expected...you might need to report the situation to the Children's Services in your county. Good Luck...don't give up on her....she might need you!

You could, it just depends on how you approach it. A good way to do this is to go find a super cute, but not extremely expensive outfit(s) for her, and wrap them up in pretty wrapping paper. Then, go to her and tell her that you were shopping for clothes for yourself and came across the CUTEST outfits for little girls, but you realized you could no longer wear outfits like that and you don't have a younger sister or anything, so you remembered her and thought she would look adorable wearing them. That way, you raise her self esteem, and you get to watch her prancing around in different outftis everyday. Make sure her parents don't think you're like treating them like a charity project. That can be kind of offensive sometimes when taken in the wrong way. Or, you could tell them it's an early Christmas present or birthday peresent, but you had to give it to her now because the outfits were on sale or you're not sure if you'll find another outfit like the one you bought. =) Hope this helps!

First, find out where the girl lives, and ask her parents. With the way things are today, you can never be too careful. After all, you are dealing with someones child. Oh, and if you get the cold sholder, don't take it personally. A lot of people even those in need, are extremely prideful, and just might take offense. If that is the case, assure them that you are just concerned. Explain the situation, and if the answer is yes, go from there.

Everyone that has answered so far said to talk to the parents.
In my opinion her parents may think you are butting in there business. It may be a money issue, like they are broke and can't afford clothing for her, or some other issue that you don't understand.
Im not saying don't get her an outfit or talk to her parents, Im just saying that I would check it out a little more before I went jumping in.

i would absolutley keep it. I have no problems with taking cloths from people. I have that problem with my neighbors childrens and i had bought some really stylish cloths from the second hand store right around the corner. She was so happy to get a pair of glitter capris. But i would recomend watching her show her parents so that they can appriciate it. Also built a light friendship with the child so that they know that some one besides there parents and family cares. But i am happy when someone buys my daughter cloths. It saves me money that i can use on a bill and it makes me great ful, and feel blessed.

That's sweet of you. Maybe you could try introducing yourself and getting to know her first. Then she could introduce you to her parents.They might just be having a hard time with finances and stuff so they aren't able to buy their daughter new clothes. Once you know them, you could say something like "I've got these clothes at home that I think little Amy (name made up) would love. My kids aren't using them so would you mind if I gave them to her? "That way, it wouldn't be so weird and the parents wouldn't get embarassed. Good Luck! and I commend you for wanting to do something so nice for someone. God Bless.

You can't just buy a stranger an outfit (I wish I could everytime I see all these people with no style) but you can't.
I would try and arrange to talk to her parents about it and tell them you're worried about sexual predators with the see through bathing suit.
