Imagine being scouted at age 6, taken away from your parents to live at a starlet training camp, and having to wait 15-20 years to be able to renegotiate your contract, under which you are practically property of a…

Ugh I find those damn child beauty pageants just fucking creepy and disgusting. Any time I have seen one on TV I feel like I am looking at a pedo buffet of exploited children.
