The author is out to lunch. That statement is far from something "Americans can agree on."
I am still appalled everytime I look at the pictures of JonBenet with mascara on.
Some moms just go over the top.
The mascara will wash off, but replacing her teeth?
Why, damme, that's too bad!
hulloooo??? i guess this guy doesn't believe in equal rights...his wife was into that crap. it's a whole culture. .while i don't get any of that child beauty queen stuff, i think it is totally weird the way people have gone nuts over this all again.
even if this guy is proven to be the murderer, they still will believe the parents did it. weird. like some psychosis goes along with this murder and the way people have made their minds and it will shake their world view if they find out someone else actually did it.
People nowadays have this bizarre notion that a small child acting in a sexualized, cynical or worldly-wise manner is somehow cute and endearing. It's sick.
Me too. I can't understand why parents pimp their children out.
He's also out to lunch if he thinks that the Americans who were creeped out by Come-Hither JonBenet wouldn't also be creeped out by a 12-year-old in a strip joint.
It's not a "double srandard in America." It's two different standards representing two different communities: the responsible adults, and the irresponsible adults.
There is something different between a father (and mother) allowing their daughter to be dressed the way JonBonet was, and "talent" promoters. Neither is good or wholesome, but parents have the final say, and blame.
Oh give it a rest...how about children who perform on stage..or on TV or on commercials..or in print ads. To single out pageants is absurd. She looked adorable in those pictures...only the truly dirty and perverted saw sex in what she did.
Actually, John Ramsey said he only attended the "talent" portions of JonBenet's pageants.

Sounds like a candidate for a future FOX News Alert.
Uh...kiddy spa treatments? I don't think I want to know...
The dyed blond hair is what does it for me.

The kids who act etc. are working kids. Having known quite a few of them (kids of friends) I can tell you there's a lot of rules in place to protect them.
