Age Appropriate

These two words seem to appear everywhere now. It started with Miley's pole dance and now its moved on to those little girls dancing for a competition.

It makes me think. Why do parents let there children do this sort of thing? Miley and that group of dancers both have talent, thought with Miles its questionable, but is it really necessary to make our children grow up before their time just so they can acheive fame?

By now most of the world has viewed the clip of the dance troop bumping and grinding to Single Ladies. Age Appropriate seemed to be the words that came out of everyone's mouths but those of the parents.

Why is that?

Because parents don't seem to want to fess up to doing something wrong.

8 year old girls should not be doing the bump and grind. Its not right. The thing about this whole scandal/shocker/whatever you want to call it, is how oblivious the parents were when they posted the video to You Tube.

Yes, you want to show your kids off, but do you really want EVERYONE to see them. By everyone I mean some of those people whose names are on certain lists for being predators?

I mean why would you do something like that?

Its kind of like celebrities taking nude photos of themselves. Do they honestly think that somehow they won't end up online? Trouble is bound to come from stupidity of this nature.

There are a lot of sickos out there, why would you do something so idiotic that would put your child at risk?

Oh yes I forgot, the parents that would do this only care about fame and likely living vicariously through their children, or off whatever money they earn.

ARGH!

Parents, let your damn kids be kids. You're stuck in adulthood long enough.

Some of these people legitimately sound like they see nothing wrong with it, though. I don't know if they're just trying to avoid the issue or if they really don't see the problem, but the fact is they're exploiting their daughters.

It scares the hell out of me that people can be that oblivious. I doubt Jon Beni Ramsey would have been murdered if not for her wacknut parents putting her on the beauty pagent circuit.

Its so wrong on so many levels.

Child beauty pageants are horrifying, for many reasons.
