OK, legally it isn't. And it's just my opinion that it's very, very wrong. So
I
won't disagree with you that it's legally not child abuse.
I don't think there's any way we're all going to agree on this subject. I'm
not
a puritan by any means, and I really appreciate and enjoy truly artistic
nudes and glamour photography, and actually own a half-dozen or so I've
picked up from art fairs over the years.
I just think that any competition where children are forced to compete like
adults is more for the parent's self-gratification than for the child's well-
being.
Again, this is just my opinion. Same thing goes for stage mothers who try
to force their kids to audition for plays at our theatre, and then when it's
obvious that the child doesn't really want to do it, pushes them on stage
anyway.
