Subject: Re: Proposed child beauty pageant laws Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:10:13 05/29/06 Mon In reply to: 's message, "Re: Proposed child beauty pageant laws" on 19:59:23 10/21/04 Thu I agree! I think that any parent should be allowed to deside what the child is doing! If these laws are for pageants then they should also be for soccer, baseball, gymnastics, & anyother sport, as that is what a pageant is. I think that I can decide the age for a child to wear Make-up as they are my flesh & blood, not the state or federal folks. If they want to make those types of decisions tell them to get off my kid & go make thier own & but their laws on them! My children compete in pageants, and have since before they were three & I even put mascarra on my son!
