Lets be real! There are child molesters that are excited and enticed to seek out victims after watching these pageants. Dressing and making these very young girls look like sexually mature young women is blatant encouragement for imapproprate, erotic, suggestive behavior in her teens'.

IMO, I find it sick! Seriously..a 5 year old wearing dark heavy make up, wearing clothes that look like they work on street corners?! What in the world is cute and adorable about all that? How could anyone dress a child up like that?? What happen to a child's natural beauty...inside and out? They are displayed like they are a doll collection and ordered to be perfect?! I feel so bad for the kids dragged through this. They are taught that you have to be perfect physically and look like a plastic Barbie or you are ugly. Why?

I don't understand why pageants think this is acceptable. I would rather see a pageant where the kids are dressed as kids and look like kids doing child things...not mini Barbie doll robots.
It just ain't natural and it ain't beautiful at all...it is a real shame...the cute image of a normal kid is being twisted into a false reality to further tempt pedos...all in the name of beauty? Nope...its not beautiful.

Kid pageants is of the world it is what the world likes and accepts.

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

What the world sees as normal is not normal in the eyes of GOD.

i personally think it is bad for the children because they should be learned a great deal about the inside of them and who they are in Christ and not focus or compete with others with being beautiful on the outside.

If The ALMIGHTY LORD decides to Bless me with a good wife and perhaps children, i will forbid them participating in any of this for their own (spiritual) health sake.

If I had a daughter, I'd be totally against her competing in these kinds of pageants. Why? Because someone might take a picture that had her in it, (Intentionally or not,) and post it on a social networking sight such as Facebook, just because they thought it was cute, not realizing the possible 50,000 + creeps fantasizing about harming these girls for pleasure. :angry:

But then again, what does a 19 year old teen such as myself understand about parenting.
