It is my thinking that this child was abused... which is the what I think of nearly ALL of the stuff mothers put their children (babies included) through all the stuff of beauty pageants. The father was just as guility of the abuse, as he allowed it. Rich or not, it's abusive behavior...and quite easily leads to outbursts of anger and dire punishments for misbehaving (not doing something right, not winning the competition.)

Remember, the broken window in the basement? The glass was found outside on the grass/snow... no one broke IN

Tis sad memories indeed.
