Its fucked up

All the judges should be put on a watch list

South Park made a good gag about the kiddie fiddlers who judge these competitions.

its called america

@@Alyssa-ji6po I bet that head judge already is, the way he said ''the children look amazing''

imagine being that child and finally reaching the mental problems that come when you are a teenager. that girl is definitely screw in her head because of her parents

YB ranks children better

dwadwa

yeah, like did you have a kid just to do this?

i dont think you actually cried

Even if there are no pedos, I'd argue that its exploitation regardless. The stress and alienation of performing femininity in such a way is not something that a child that young could give informed consent for.

@@theeccentric7263 Oh for sure this sort of exploitation of kids by parents is definitely wrong. That's how those family youtbers came to be. Ace family is a good example of this.

So true. The entire point is to make little kids look "attactive like grown women"... anyone who wants a kid to look like that is a sick n0nce. It often leads to beauty pageant kids growing up with EDs, depression, and huge issues with their appearance, and even being abused and killed like Jonbenet Ramsey.

plus the state of some of these outfits- practically swimsuits, or crop tops and daisy dukes. On like 1 year olds. It is literally all just bait for nonces.

I agree. It makes me sick to my stomach that this beauty pageant grooming exists. Also if any of them grow up and expect to be famous pop/film stars and don't succeed they will probably feel like failures which in turn could cause some serious mental issues.

I think it was the interviewer who the little girl was talking *about* (thinking she’s not beautiful) and saying that to her mother

She literally never said that 😂

Right? If she hasn’t fallen into this belief already shes going to grow up to value herself based on her looks alone. I’m genuinely worried for them

What about jail?

She was actually telling her mother that the interviewer didn’t think she was beautiful. Other than that, you’re right.

@@AFish-jp1nt You can look up most of these girls and see what they’re doing now. They’re all older teens at this point.

That's not why she was crying, her mother wasn't even there.

America is a fucked country, in many many ways

Hair constantly grows out, falls off and grows back. It can be emotionally damaging if you say her hair is ugly and needs to be fixed or something, but if a kid *wants* to dye their hair, whatever.

@@JasminMiettunen no, bleaching a young childs hair can cause long lasting damage to the scalp and hair follicles, i have seen this happen to a friend and i know people who do hair

Same tho!

yeah these guys are always a good laugh 🤣

Only took them about 2 years, at least their back

ok

ok

I wouldn't worry. Parenting is like most other things. As long as you pay attention to your children, it's really unlikely to be a problem.

ok

Bestie no one cares

Even if the parents weren't spoiled, the hate should 100% always go to the parents. They're the ones doing the spoiling.

Definitely

Was looking for a comment like this. I used to watch this show when I was younger and the expenses were enormous. The fancy dress they wore for the formal wear portion of the pageant was anywhere from 2-6 thousand and kids who regularly did pageants usually had 13+ of them. And considering how quickly kids grow between infancy and pre-teen years (which is where most of the girls in the show are) they're probably buying a new batch if dresses every pageant season. There were countless smaller expenses. The hair-pieces were around 50-80$, not to mention the makeup and tanning salons (unless the child was black). The other outfits (for the swimsuit portion and themed costume portion of the show) ran from 100/150-400 each. The glamour shots they had to send to the pageants ahead of time cost quite a bit of money for the photographer and the touch up process. But, by far, the biggest expense was traveling. Most of these pageants take place in southern USA and plenty of people had to fly to the locations. Then there was the hotel fees (these pageants were always held in hotels and they weren’t cheap.) And, of course, the attendance fee. I don’t remember the full cost of attending a pageant since I haven’t watch the show in years and don’t plan to go back and check but rest assured, The cost of attending the pageant was 8 to 10 times more than the money prizes. The grand prize itself is usually 1-2 grand and that’s ONLY the first place winner. Second gets 1000 or 500, Third gets 500 or 100 and everyone else gets fifties and twenties. She had to win a lot of pageants to earn 20,000. Edit: And, according to the later seasons, nowadays, its near-impossible to win without a pageant coach. And you can bet your ass that the price of a coach, especially the professional ones, was astronomical. On average, they charge 125 -150 her hour and the kid usually had 2 or 3 lessons per week. So, the only people to make any sort of money off pageantry are the coaches.

They are either in spending “pocket change” meaning their super fucking rich, or their life saving on this,. No inbetween

I mean, he's not wrong...

i didnt know raising a kid was just like undertale

LET’S GO

My man

James you are a spoilt child

LET’S GO

I mean..your sorta not wrong 🤣

They ain’t gonna fuck you

@@kylejonas3875 ??

You’ve got sound parents

Sounds like your parents didn't think you could win

@@shaun2463 No they didn't want their child to have horrible beauty standards put on them before they can read

My grandmother made my mum put me in 'baby model' competitions when I was one year old. I was the ugliest fucking baby you can imagine. Fat, sparse black hair, and squinty (I was born severely short sighted). There are professional photos and they are bloody hilarious. I look like a tiny businessman with a receding hairline in a pink dress. Luckily my dad saw the funny side and took a pic of me dressed up in a shirt and tie at his desk, holding a pencil with a newspaper and a cup of coffee in front of me. 31 years later and that's my all time favourite photo of me as a kid.

@@Eliseholohan132 exactly and I’m forever grateful for that

like yah if i couldn’t really tell you how i feel i would kick and scream too for making me do this shit

Exactly, considering how their parents treat them I don't blame them.

Absolute 🤬 'ing fax 😀

Sorry, what do you do in the practice room???

Accidentally?
