    I think kids’ pageants are an obscenity. u00a0Let the little girls be little girls — ride their bicycles, play with their dogs, and eat chocolate chip cookies. u00a0If they want to take ballet class or tap class or whatever, that’s fine. u00a0But pageants are way too stressful — no kid needs to think of herself as a “loser” at age 4 or 5.nu00a0

    If any government had the balls to protect the children under the child labour laws and deem this as exploitation, it would end overnight. Who is reaping the cash winnings? The kids, I doubt its even going into an education or trust fund.u00a0Probablyu00a0just for more spray tan and veneers. Bloody sickening.u00a0

    I think that they should remove the tv shows about child pageants. It just feeds the fuel.u00a0 It is heartbreaking to see the children crying from getting their hair pulled into hairstyles, makeup in their eyes, wearing uncomfortable scratchy clothes. These kids get spray on tans and yelled at for playing instead of practicing their routines. Then the moms say that’s what these little girls want, even tho their kids are laying on the floor screaming pitching a fit!

    u00a0One word… prosti-tots. Every one of these parents should be u00a0charged with abuse and the child/children removed from custody. u00a0

    Have you noticed that the moms are overweight and not pretty enough to be in a pageant themselves? Living through the success of their kids, pitiful.nnI hope they are getting the names of the other moms that are giving their kids botox, take them all down!nTake the show off the air, apply child labor laws to pageants, make the parents put any money into education funds. With any luck the pageants will all fold and free these exploited kids.
