Looking at so-called "reality TV" of late, there's no end to the lengths those trying to legitimize their perversion by sexualization of children will go.
Oddly enough, an article from the MSM from a few years back seems to question things in the right way, and points out that child "beauty pageants" were banned in France.
To that end, we still have a Toddlers and Tiaras show running now, and there's no end of the same type of show on TLC and other "lifestyle" cable channels.
Granted there may be a legitimate market for other types of "reality TV" shows like Dance Moms, the premise is still the same, create a competitive environment where a parent can project on their offspring often unrealistic adult competitive values, often by using "who dares wins" mentality to push boundaries of decency and skewing morality to achieve a goal. The end result is a child growing up with a warped world-view.
Doing a search on the damage that "little miss" pageants can do, and the fact that MSM themselves have covered this story on more than one occasion, and my finding above that such events are banned in France, just proves my point.
