    Prime example of Mothers living their lives through their child daughters. Sexualizing minors is not ok
  • @laurens.5753
    Can we just have a moment for how kind and humble Lisa Ling is, just stepping in to help curl that shy little girl's hair, whose family were trying to do the pageant scene differently? I adore her!!
  • @janvan4424
    This makes me want to cry 😢 This is so wrong! Poor little girls😭
  • These child pageants are about the parents living through their child’s life getting the second chance they never had during their own life.
  • Why haven't the parents invested the same effort and dedication into themselves, for instance?!
  • @sugarpie9492
    Blatantly teaching their daughters that beauty is on the outside, and that dressing and acting sexual starting from a toddler age encourages them to act that way to be judged from that standard. 🙄
  • this is so sad, for everybody. I'm so sorry any of you felt you were not good enough. May you find peace.
  • @MeganSmith80
    Under no circumstances am I going to tan my kid.
  • @KarinaRain

  • @kbrodie3677
    I love the humanity Lisa Ling brings to a controversial subject. Wishing these families all the happiness and joy ❤️
  • @lisasmart14
    I remember when toddlers and tiaras was on. I always felt unsettled with its popularity 😕
  • @a_vh679
    okay but why is it your daughter's responsibility to right the wrongs of your childhood... idk this whole thing rubs me completely the wrong way
  • @phillip2763
    This story would be told a lot differently today even with the same details.
