Toddlers & Tiara's"
Okay. o fox news is reporting that one of the mom's of that show is very likely to lose custody of her kid for over sexualizing her with the costumes she wore on stage. That's bad enough as it is, What got me so riled up about it was what some of the mom's interviewed said about it.
“The case is bulls**t,” said Gonzalez of the ongoing custody battle. “You don’t get your kids taken away because of your hobby. Lindsay is a good mom, she’s a responsible mom. Maddy is a happy little girl and she’s well-taken care of. She’s spoiled and she gets a lot of attention, but that's not grounds for her to be taken away. Maddy was wearing a costume – it was an outfit. The public needs to understand that it’s not about us sexualizing our kids – because we’re not.”

Clearly they don't see their children as children.Your kids aren't barbie dolls! If you want to play dress up with your daughter you have a box of hats, boas and costume jewelry. You don't put them in skimpy costumes or costumes with boobs put into them. Ms.Wendi Ryan would do well to remember that 90-seconds is all the time it takes for something bad to get started in someones head, and since she can't read minds there is no way she can posistively claim that there is no one at these pageants who take it in a sexual context.
As for the woman who said it was a hobby: Children are not a hobby. Collecting dolls is a hobby. Sewing is a hobby. Hundreds of other things other than treating you daughter like a living barbie doll are hobbies. Playing with your little girls life with the pageants is not a hobby.

“It makes me sick to my stomach that the court is actually considering taking (Jackson’s) daughter away from her over the Dolly Parton incident,” said pageant mom Wendi Ryan. “It was a 90-second clip of something that she would do on stage to pretend that she was someone else. It’s not like she’s going to Wal-Mart dressed like that. It’s just a funny routine, there’s nobody there who would take it in a sexual context.”
“We are not sexualizing our children,” emphasized Wendy Dickey, whose daughter was featured on an infamous episode of “Toddlers & Tiaras” where she was dressed as a Hollywood Boulevard prostitute from the 1990 film “Pretty Woman.” “What we are doing is no different than what other parents are doing. My daughter Paisley competes in pageants, she does gymnastics, she takes dance, she plays T-ball and she’s four-years-old. Her costume–even the ‘Pretty Woman’ costume–is less revealing than her gymnastics costume.”
