You really have no idea
Quote From: aikimommeeWith the exception of Jon Benet, I can't remember the last time a national news story involved an abducted/abused/kidnapped child beauty queen. Most of the time it's some poor child minding their own business playing outside or it's where a family acquaintance/relative has snatched them up. That said, if any hobby is ruining your life you need to get yourself together. I appreciate the "sensationalism" of pageants draws viewers but the problem isn't pageants, its how their handled by the mom/family. No you will never see me on this show and for one good reason. You never see the children asked if they like to do this or not. I look at it like this, its a sport and maybe even a career. You have no idea what kind of good pageants do. They help kids be outgoing, personable, good speakers, attentive, high self esteem, and well groomed. I have done numerous pageants with my daughter and have not once had a problem with any pedophiles nor have i seen or heard about another pageant parent or child. When you go to a pageant you see who is with who and if someone is there by them self and without child or family supporting child/ren they are watched like halks and even asked if anyone can help them. Honestly, if you don't know much about them except what you see about them on TV then you really have NO IDEA!!!!!!
