To me this is just plain wrong, wrong, wrong. I am totally against these pageants. The children are too young, they have to work too hard, and they are missing out on their childhood. I think the mothers are trying to live out their fantasy of being in a pageant through their daughters. To put wigs, makeup, false eyelashes, and provocative clothing on a toddler is wrong.Teaching these young innocents provocative ways of dancing, singing and speaking...is wrong too.
I am very sad and worried for these precious little ones. To me their parents are imbeciles. They are exposing their children to sexual predators. The parents are very foolish and wrong.
What can be done?

You can mind your own business and raise your kids as you choose. Just because you think it is wrong does not mean that it is or that society needs to do something about it. How do I know everything you do as a parent is genius? I know great father who never put his little girl in a pagent. She is dead now though because he was against seatbelts. Not every parent is perfect so either you need to implement a police state and take them all so you can raise them as you see fit or you need to get over the fact that a little girl put on a dress you did not like.

Makes me sad. One reason (I know this might sound bad) but one reason I"m glad I had a boy instead of a girl. I honestly don't know if I am capable of dealing with that kind of pressure on young girls today. My daughter would probably hate me because I would be like "no, no, no, no, no," everywhere she turned. haha.
And there's so much shock when pedophelia runs rampant. Come on people, this type of stuff is WHY.
I'd like to add, she doesn't look much different than some of the barbie dolls that are advertised and sold to young girls her age in the supermarket.
It's no wonder this is thought to be acceptable. Starts with fantasy and moves real life before you know it. What happened to protecting our young children? I don't care what anyone says, that is way too young to be exposed to that type of imagery, not to mention pretending to BE that image.edit on 7-9-2011edit on 7-9-2011 by seeker11 because: (no reason given)
Actually, pedophilia follows bloodlines most often. No cases of "inspired pedophilia" have been documented.
However, and more to your point, we shouldn't furnish pedophiles with legal material. And I'd say what we should do with the mothers, and the mothers who watch with their daughters, but I'd like to maintain my status as a T&C violation-free user. extra DIV

was murdered in her home they paraded her around in these child pagents..
It has just gotten HUGE now, and every mother under the son who is trying to make a quick buck
is putting there kid's in this..
I read a article where the mother was letting her 9 year old daughter get face injections!!!
It is not illegal either!!
This stuff is sick, I AGREE.
It is just harmless fun though, they say..
I think the parents should be arrested..

That botox girl was a hoax. It was admitted by the mother a long while ago. www.huffingtonpost.com...
