Ever since our society has become more established and have set rules for how children should be raised and treated, the preservation of childhood has become essential, especially in the entertainment industry. While some production companies may try to sneak in some adult jokes, there is no blatant attempt to destroy childhood for any of our young members of society. Doctors and studies have come out in stating that our childhood years are our most formative and therefore, most important time of our lives where our very personalities and identities are determined. If you destroy someone’s childhood early on, it’s likely that the child will grow up to have psychological problems that can affect their academic and social life. Because of these realizations, parenting has quickly evolved, especially in the last fifty years. No parent wants to be responsible for ruining their child’s lives, or allowing them to descend into potential danger. The concept of treating kids like adults is controversial because there is no line drawn in how long you want your child to be a child, before they start taking on adult responsibilities. One of the biggest hot button topics is the “beautiful kids” controversy. If a child is blessed with beautiful features, oftentimes they are subjected to activities such as beauty pageants, or they may even land a modeling contract for their appearances. There is a lot of speculation when it comes to the popularity of these beautiful children, especially if they possess adult-like features. Even in the beauty pageant world, these young girls are done up in makeup, false eyelashes, lip plumpers, and have even gone through cosmetic surgery in order to look more appealing for the judges. Amidst these practices, people are wondering whether these children are even enjoying a normal childhood. The usual answers have resulted in no. In this video are some of the children caught in the storm of the beautiful kids controversy. This is primarily due to their appearance along with their parent or guardians willingness to put them in the media spotlight, resulting in speculated exploitation. One such child is Kristen Pimenova, who was just nine years old when she became one of the world’s most popular models. The popularity has led her to millions of followers on social media, along with contracts from grown up magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan. Maddy Jackson from “Toddlers & Tiaras” was also recently in a media storm when her parents battled over her in an ugly custody battle. Maddy’s father felt like her mother was oversexualizing her by dressing her up as Dolly Parton, fake boobs and all. This act actually led to a judge banning the child from participating in beauty pageants in the future. Mom inevitably won the custody battle. The beautiful kids controversy is turning into a never ending saga, quick to replace its stars once the other ones finally grow up.
