I find this so upsetting on so many levels.

Oh This is bad for so many reasons!

I bet child labour is much more rewarding than this.

This was shown on TV?! This isn't simple child abuse, it's torture, both physical and psychological. That ***** that passes for a mother belongs in prison!

Mai ji

Not only do I agree, but the entire matter of "beauty pageants" for little girls is a perversion. Please forgive my negative attitude and blunt words.

This small child is being taught values and being abandoned emotionally by a stage mother -- so in the end she will join that legion of women who lack self-esteem or confuse it with "looks" and "personality." Only to spend a lifetime in not so quiet desperation seeking their completeness, every where, except where it can really be found. And perhaps becoming stage-mothers themselves. One has to wonder how her mother came out the way she did. Every second of the video contains a clue to human misery.

Oh my God, that is soooooo cruel. Is that mother still outside of JAIL? Any mother how could be that cruel. What kind of that mother is, which can't see her own child's beauty. Thats extream.

This was on TV. Now it's on YouTube for the whole world to see. Has anything been done to this egg donor? Is this child still in her custody?

I agree that beauty pageants, in general, suck, and child beauty pageants are perverted, but before we take on the world, here is one little girl who needs to be rescued.

Its bad...but no way near as bad as female genital mutilation carried out by muslims.

I agree Gursikh Singh ji, it is not that bad. But it is bad enough. The two cultural phenomena share something in common. Women inflict emotional anguish and physical pain on their daughters, in order to carry on traditions that are markers of "womanhood." When we do that we are un-indicted conspirators in the subjugation of women. Why do we do that?

And what should I make of the expression on the face of the older woman, who probably also was mutilated. I am glad you posted that picture. The subject came up on a different thread just this week.
