Scarlett Johnson, a parent advocate and member of Moms for Liberty, expressed her strong disapproval on Twitter regarding the news of a 10-year-old girl participating in the Naked Bike Ride in Madison, Wisconsin last month. She voiced her disgust and highlighted the lack of protective measures in the state laws that failed to protect the well-being of the girl.

"State laws aimed at protecting children from exploitation or abuse do not apply," Johnson tweeted.

A girl believed to be about 10 years old participated in Madison's Naked Bike Ride in June, but police and prosecutors have concluded state laws aimed at protecting children from exploitation or abuse do not apply to the incident

Johnson voiced her disgust and highlighted the lack of protective measures in the state laws that failed to protect the well-being of the girl, according to Twitter.

"About 150 adult bicyclists, most of whom were reportedly naked except for shoes and helmets, paraded around downtown Madison last weekend in full view of kids," said Johnson in her Twitter post. "Eyewitnesses immediately began reporting seeing a naked child participating in the event. Not for kids!"

Madison on June 17 hosted its 13th World Naked Bike Ride, with more than 100 cyclists participating. However, this event sparked controversy when the police received multiple complaints suggesting that a young girl had also taken part in the ride while nude. In response, the Special Victims Unit initiated an investigation into the matter, specifically focusing on the state's statutes concerning "child pornography possession" and "exposing a child to harmful material or narratives". Ultimately, the investigation revealed that no laws were violated in this case, according to Wisconsin State Journal.

"This is child sexual exploitation," Principia Life CEO, Darren Kress said on Twitter. "There is ZERO justification for her to have participated in the nude. It is designed to condition the public to become comfortable with child nudity and eventually sexual exploitation."
