That whole child beauty pagent thing is just disturbing on many levels. It
really came to light with the Jonbenet Ramsey murder (something that's just
weird on its own... like giving your daughter a first name made up of Dad's
first and last names????). Those kids should not be taught extreme vanity
and cutthroat competition at that age. Period. The parents are the ones
who are trying to live out some sick fantasy through their kids.
Dressing some six-year-old girl up like a hooker is child abuse.
