Toddlers and Tiaras

I wanna bitchslap each and every one of the adults involved in this. Treating children like this is cruel and literally abusive. I don't even care if 99% of it is staged, it is still absolutely wrong. These people are using their kids for their own agenda. You're all disgusting. The only good thing that could come out of this is the fact that therapists all around the states are gonna get rich. Assuming of course that these "people" have the decency to consult with one.It's at least a pity to see that the US, a vast continent with endless resources, talent, bright new ideas and the means to produce material that can easily have a global reach, is wasting it's time on traumatizing countless children. Including everyone participating in that ghastly show and each person who watched this. This is simply poison which helps in the creation of a superficial and problematic generation. And to anyone out there who can actually enjoy watching more than 5 minutes of these, you all need to see a psychiatrist.

This show needs to be removed from television, disgusted and disturbed- can't believe I watched one episode.

Are you kidding me? Pain , sexualising 2 yrs old , evil mothers.. People, this is Toddlers and Tiaras : Mothers actually FORCE the daughters to win for them. I feel sorry for the girls!!! STOP ABUSING CHILDREN IN TV JUST FOR FUN!!!

This mothers are, for sure, mentally ill and the children will be too. I watch an episode yesterday just to see how far they go and there was a mother yelling with her 4 years old daughter because she was to fast on stage and telling that she would get her a cat if she win the contest. The way she talk to the little girl, the mood changes, just like a schizophrenic! one child was sick and the parents forced her to participate instead going home to take care of her. I have no words to describe how awful this his. Can't authorities stop this contests??? This mothers don't have skills to educate a healthy child... as someone already said, it will take years of therapy to this children!

This has got to be the worst show I've ever been witness to. I think mothers who allow their children (even if their child begs them) to compete in pageants should have their kids taken away from them by social services. Not a single mother talks to their child about being a gracious winner or a good loser. The trash talk and bad mouthing these women do about each other as well as some other person's child is setting a horrible example for their kids. Not a single mother stresses the importance of being a good person, being kind and caring and treating everyone with dignity and respect.Not one person on this show emphasizes inner beauty. And I have to say, if my child EVER sassed me the way some of these kids sass their parents or if my child threw

fits and smacked me or threw stuff at me--there isn't a reason good enough for a child to get away with that. I'd be taking my child out to the wood shed and tan their backside for them. I know that no child is perfectly behaved all the time, they get tired and cranky. However, they wouldn't be nearly as tired and cranky if you weren't hauling them all over the place and making them perform like little monkeys. I know beauty pageants are supposed to be to help fund a child to attend college--to teach them poise and grace but unfortunately when most of the money these kids earn doesn't seem to be going into savings for anything. Most of the money seems to go for travel, meals, entry fees and costumes so that they can be entered in more pageants.
