If you feel bad then don't post rubbish like this:
"Quite likely, this imprudent activity led to the poor child's death. For all I know, the parents tortured themselves with remorse for all this stuff afterwards, but other parents would do well to learn the lesson by acknowledging the cause-and-effect pattern."
Twisted logic and needs to be condemned...I will continue to do so.
So go ahead. Enter your little girl in some of these pageants, inviting sickos to leer at her and get obsessed with her. It won't be the little girl's fault if something awful results.
