Toddlers in Tiaras... Are those kids really that cute?

I agree with you. Toddler and such pageants are for the wanna be mothers, not the child. Shown of a tv show "Wild Behavior" about a month ago, two mothers attacked the mother of the winner because they thought their entrants were cuter. The judges made the decision, not the winner's mother. A child is not emotionally prepared to handle it, plus there is the added danger for the child, ie: the little girl from Colorado case. My niece had put her 5yr old daughter in a pageant with three catagories: 1-7; 8-13, 14-19. Her niece won her catagory, but pitched a fit because her trophy was not as big as the others. 'nough said.
