Children's Beauty Pageants Make Me Sick (and angry) 

Or during anyone's time. Way to ruin it for everyone

She should’ve been kicked out and disqualified.

it's "beauty" pageants... it's the definition of paedophile and child predator haven and psycho-acting karen moms...

That makes my heart so happy 🥺 (also hello fellow Kelsey!)

that sounds so wholesome and fun

that sounds like a lovely time! :D

That's called a "talent show". It's like a beauty competition at all. I lived in a small town called Wayland, Michigan and we did talent shows during our town Fair too!

That sounds more like a talent show than a beauty pageant.

Data love

I'm so sorry you went through that, I really pray most people are more educated and empathetic now

I think kids should be able to choose if they want to wear a skirt or not in general, with all school uniforms. It's so dumb how upset people can get over such such a small thing. Sorry you had to go through that.

It's insane how cruel grown people can be to kids, special needs or not. Hope that you found your strength and are happy or content in life now. People who treat others like that are not worth even knowing.

That's terrible 😔

Yes 😅 Nah I'm kidding. Well... Nah... Nah... Maybeeee. No no, for real this time 💀

That's horrible.. I hope you're in a happy place right now and don't let those bullies get you down..

I am sorry you went through that! I also hope you are doing much better. I had learning difficulties in school and was on an IEP (individual education plan) so I could take my tests in a different room where it was quiter but luckily no one made fun of me for that. I once heard a qood quote about "what fair means" and what it really means isn't everyone getting the same thing, it means them getting what they need. For each person that's different. Some people don't get that (like that loudmouth mom in the video yelling about the poor child needing visual cues on stage)

That's how it goes but I'm doing better than the people who were mean to me.

that is so horrifying, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. That argument of "well why aren't they in a *special school*?" is so so gross to me, it makes me feel physically ill. Basically they're saying I don't want to have to look at or engage with you, person who has different life experiments and needs, you're not 'normal' and that makes me uncomfortable. That's like saying a wheelchair user shouldn't be allowed in buildings with stairs. And the thing is, integrating children with a different range of needs and backgrounds is SO important to encourage empathy and openness early on. Of course some children need to be in separate schools that can really help them thrive but so many people of different needs and abilities can be brought together by tiny changes in policies or environments to make them accessible. I grew up in Ireland and went to primary (elementary) school with a guy who had ASD, which really impacted his engagement with a lot of stuff, so everyone learned very quickly what best suited his needs. We were 5, 6 years old? Nobody ever complained about him getting 'special treatment.' He had different needs, and different is fine. I went to high school with a guy who was colourblind, but that rare kind where you only see in black and white and your vision doesn't go beyond maybe a few feet or so ahead. So he was partially sighted and colourblind basically, he needed the kind of additional aids that a legally blind person would have. There was certainly bullying in my school, but he was never singled out for his sight. He wasn't treated like a child either, he was just another guy who needed a few extra things to account for his eyesight. Kids will adapt so easily to other people's experiences if you give them a chance, it makes me so mad when exclusionary nonsense like that is encouraged by parents and inevitably adopted by their kids. We ALL lose out on richer experiences when we keep people apart and limit the scope of our understanding.

My brother has the same thing. He was nonverbal til 2nd grade and was a biter. In first grade he was in regular classes and after a couple of days he bit a teacher during a bad “hype out” as we used to call it. After that there was alot of “why is this kid still here?” He did end up going to a “Special Needs school” that helped him alot. But I realised soon after that, at least in NJ, there aren’t many schools like that. So what I used to say (started saying this in high school) whenever someone said that was “ok, great, so your tax dollars will be used for that?” That usually shut them up quick 😂

I thought then "what a b*tch!" 😐

Right.... like they're kids.... they just want to have fun. The way we all process things is different from everyone else, just cuz a kid needs help w something doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. No one is "regular" or "normal"

@@novasgalaxy3652 honestly nothing is normal haha

Yeah, special needs ≠ not normal

Problem is, people with special needs hear this shit all the time. It’s unfortunately normal in our sphere (speaking as an autistic adult, formally an autistic child).

I couldn't believe that mom said "Why is the special needs child's here at a regular kids event." It's beyond insulting. They're kids. Other than age, there's no real criteria to separate them in an event, especially one like this.

Seriously, and now that little girl, who had the confidence to go out on stage like that, is going to have her moment forever ruined by some barrel-shaped Karen YELLING in the middle of her turn. On TOP of the the fact she shouldn't be in a competition with "regular" kids.

Agreed

I think it’d be interesting to see a “where are they now” video on this mom. Curious if she grew up a little mentally and realized this behavior is ridiculous.

@@girrlove12321 💯💯💯

The ableism she spewed was just…yikes man.

Holy shit, mAybe she shouldn't? If a r-tard can't compete, it shouldn't whine when it loses.

Yeah I wanted to jump through the TV when she said that. Gross

@@Eyesofwrathvox same

@NNazmi Ummm how is that funny? I wasn’t making a joke.

After hearing that, then I definitely decided there’s no way I’d ever enroll my daughter into this kind of pageants even when she is naturally outgoing and enjoys to sing & dance.

@@ellenscofield5632girl sign her up for a dance studio, or put her in theatre. not a beauty pageant

You have a point.

Shots fired

Damn 😂😂

LMAO

It was a dick move for that mom to shout and put her off. She could have asked afterwards about the coaching being allowed because of her special needs, why do these people always involve poor kids in their bitchiness

Yeah, that's how I felt, too. Like they're trying to give their daughter something she wants and it's being quashed by beefy Becky the Karen that's using her 10 year old to start a vicarious life for herself to live through since she chose the chugging tubs of icing life.

We need more pagents that are just kids expressing themselves honestly. I don't even understand the point otherwise.

@@salemcrow5078 what's the point in just "go on stage and do whatever you want?" Then how would you judge them? What would be the criteria to win? Or would everyone win, which is the same as no one winning? Seems pretty pointless. If you want to have a talent showcase then do that. Don't pretend it's a competition.

yeah! and not dragging her along w her sister without given her the opportunity to compete as well

Good parenting right there. Bless us who had good parents. The older I get the more I recognize how important my parents are to me

Yup, treat their kids like objects more than people

Yeah sadly most of the time it is just about the mums. The pressure they put the kids under is disgusting, they should feel ashamed. Glad you had a good mum.

Ballroom dancing is an actual competition, not a "judge this child on how attractive they are"

Same with me and figure skating. My mum enjoyed getting me nice skating dresses and doing my hair and makeup because I liked it and as soon as I wanted to stop, I did.

Indeed, autism can present with heavy fixations as well as overstimulation. Heavy seasoning can certainly wind up being too stimulating. Either of these "symptoms" (sounds like the wrong word to me, hence the quotes) can lead to such fixations and it is possible that a person experiences both.

Very true! I was diagnosed at 3 with ASD, and am still to this day a huge fan of "plain foods" like cereals and unseasoned food 🌿

@@ginko1921 same with still liking plain stuff to this day! I'm 20 now and my fave food evolved from plain rice to crab sushi. One of the most plain and simple sushis and I never like to put any seasoning or anything with my sushi. Part of it too is I also won't eat stuff with certain textures like I hate the texture of avocado for example

@космический кадет I just got the notif for this comment and it's 3am here and I'm currently treating myself to some plain white rice LMAO

@космический кадет my brother is autistic, and he’s very sensitive to Menthol and capsaicin. To the point where he doesn’t like a lot of black pepper, hates pepper Jack, doesn’t really like Buffalo sauce and has unflavored toothpaste so it doesn’t burn. His favorite condiment is mayonnaise, he puts it on every meat he has, dips chips in it, puts globs on sandwiches. So. Much. Mayonnaise.

Maybe she got jumped outside

yess, sorry about them, and your hair is badass (:

like I'm a ginger and used to dance because my mom wanted me to, and it really hurt my self esteem. who cares if she's ginger, and using it like a slur is an awful thing to Do. it's like skin color, the girl has no control over it. I hated my hair growing up but I own that shit now

@@thecosmicdisorder5906 Same! I dyed it at one point to get people to leave me alone. But now I own it. I also have two kids who both are redheads so I'll be teaching them to rock their colour as they get older

Redheads are the hottest to me, never understood the hate

My daughter did dance competitions when she was 5-12/13. Her mother was very involved and I basically just went to the competitions. The stuff I would see from the other parents was insane. I thought Little League was bad, but holy crap it was unreal. Not as bad as a beauty pageant, but the insecure narcissistic nut balls living vicariously through their kids are very present.. it's one of the reasons my daughter stopped doing it because it got too catty and dramatic. She just wanted to have fun

@@Eyesofwrathvox aww it reminds me of my elementary school years. I went to a lot of dance competitions as a child but i was acompanied by my father while the others had their moms, so we were the outcast even when i compete in teams. Their moms were so involved in like fixing their makeup and outfit, talking to the coaches, etc, while my father was just there being a father. I remember how my team wouldn't take pictures with me, made me feel bad, left me out while they warm up. But luckily my father was always so supportive of me without belittling the other kids or talk bad about their parents.

how is that legal nowadays?

@@uyagraph that's a great memory to have with your father! Unfortunately with my daughter's competitions, I was only able to see her before and after the performance. I mean it's good for the team so they can be focused on what they're doing just like any other team competition or sport, but there were times where I couldn't get out of work and would have to leave early so I wouldn't be able to congratulate her until later. Stuff like that. But of course when I didn't have to go to work and all was well, we had a great time after she was done. Luckily her mom was level-headed and definitely wasn't those dance moms or whatever you want to call them lol. So I was thankful for that. But like you said about not talking crap about the other parents, we were the same way. We wanted to make it as positive as possible for her. The coolest thing was that she was able to compete in Nationals down in Disney world when she was like 9 or 10 years old. Something she'll never forget!

@@uyagraph Your dad sounds awesome

Always thought they were a little weird with how some people take them so seriously or some people are creepy about it, but this lady is like. "I think it'll help her and she seems to be having fun"

That was so unexpectedly wholesome and then it went downhill so fast. That place seems so toxic

@@EllawoodBlues that's the entire atmosphere unfortunately.

seriously!

@@arcanesunku also the paedos and child predators and psycho-acting karen moms... but yess

Meanwhile the whole thing is child abuse and prostitution, so I agree she shouldn’t be there, she deserves better, all the children do

@nnazmi okay? Who cares it's a kids pagent.

@NNazmi kids with disabilities don't need sympathy. They just need to be included.

@@ravenchain85 THANK YOU

The amount of times adults would talk like this about my disability saying "she shouldn't be around normal kids" instilled some really shitty self hatred that I didn't need as a kid. I'm not a fan of pageants but if the kid wants to do it. then let them give the neurodivergent kid accommodations isn't cheating. Then again the parent of the sped kid didn't have her ego tied to her child winning some mean nothing pageant being held at the local la quinta inn

@@RealElongatedMuskrat your name made me chuckle! 🤣 I completely agree. I cannot stand the segregation and total ignorance. We all have different problems but all of of us deserve love, acceptance, support, growth, opportunity, encouragement, respect...ect I just cannot wrap my head around a full grown woman that has kids, berating a lil one on the spectrum.I just feel like that b*tch needs a learn some lessons.

She is so unintelligent it's sad

What get me is that the kid didn’t even get special treatment, they got a point penalty for off stage coaching! Anyone could of done the same thing and would of received the same penalty, special needs or not!!!

i couldn't believe my ears when those words left her mouth 🙂

Her saying that makes me think she's one of the people claiming all lives matter when someone says BLM.

At least one parent there that is special needs. Needs a special need to the throat....

It’s child abuse and prostitution and it’s never fun for them unless they’re brainwashed/they’ve got Stockholm syndrome. These things are child abuse and prostitution and just toxic

@@Cassxowary the mother genuinely seemed like she wanted her girl to have fun and not to win. There are many abused children there, that little special needs girl is not one of them. I hate child pageants too, man, but not every single instance can be classified as abuse.

I kinda hope the kid is the kind of person that didn't really register what that idiot just yelled when she's on-stage because she was too focused on completing her stage performance. Just let this one nasty woman slip trough the cracks

@@TrashbashMan i hope so too

STOOOP "dance around in a dress for your mom." THIS MAKES ME SO SAD BUT SO SOFT? like they're really there to just have fun, and they were!! :(

I think it’s more for the creepy adults watching than the kids

@@kiwi6147 yeah I agree 💯

Right. Nothing like starting self esteem/image issues early. 🙃

Eh I’d say except for the mom of the little girl with the blue dress because her daughter actually seemed like she was enjoying herself and the way her mom said she wasn’t doing this to compete more for gaining her own confidence. That’s honestly a good way to gain confidence of it wasn’t for the other moms being all bitchy about it.

@@lizanna6390 ah thats what you meant my bad sorry. For a moment I thought you were defending them

Too bad the pedophile child pageant boards will REEEEE and spend millions lobbying local governments to and paying lawyers to make sure that doesn't happen. All while being protected by an army of raging Karens that need to feel validated by abusing their children and exposing them to predators.

The issue isn't child pageants themselves; children should absolutely be allowed to express themselves if they want to! The issue lies in the parents and adults involved. If we heighten our standards for the parents who go (i.e. kicking out ANY parent that shows catty or abusive behavior), as well as ban child corsets/makeup, then child pageants would be much healthier and friendly to the kids. Just think about that one mom who let her child go to the pageant just to have fun. She clearly wasn't in it for herself. She just wanted her daughter to twirl around and have a blast. That mom who yelled during the kid's performance? She should've been removed the moment she tried to start shit about the birth certificate.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been banned in France

Not really, the kids at that age doesn't consume "beauty shows" ..if you don't introduce them to those things they live their life pretty chill coloring and playing with friends.

@@LiannaBM usually yes but if she is special needs then she could truly benefit from socializing in a capacity like this

I have seen this whole episode and both of those moms are crazy rude/mean. The one with the special needs daughter was the instigator at the beginning and just as bad as the other lady

It’s confidence-boosting to try to be the prettiest? It’s called affirmations, helping others, etc

It might be for a good reason, but I don't think it's a good thing, for any kid, let alone one with special needs, I've seen a few of these pageant videos and its always a toxic environment, hell, I'm an adult and I wouldn't want to be in that atmosphere.

Exactly, she’s projecting.

my sister was like that but she only ate blended vegetables, like baby food consistency. I think at about 6 she was able to start transitioning and funny enough she now loves to cook, it's her main hobby.

That was the most relatable part of this video.....the ONLY relatable part.

hell yeah snapping on a shit peice of person like the pink shirt mom (forgot her name lol)makes sense. i just dont get why ken & buff think the other mom is in the wrong for snapping though. "now she's spreading hate to the kids. so at the end they're both horrible."....what??? HUH???

damn right, Ken said "at the end they're both just as bad" like tf 💀💀. so just because the mom was sick of being quiet about that lady, she's all of a sudden on the same level as her?? I'll admit when the mom went up to that ladys kid & said "you're learning what trash is" sounded disingenuous...then ken mentioned that now she's spreading hate. totally as if the other lady wasnt & most likely gonna influence her daughter with that mindset.

Because it's all about the money. 1. Fees they charge per contestant and tickets to sit and watch. 2. Food,snack, drinks they sell at said event. 3.

Then additional people who attend. Plus any food snack they have some don't allow outside food. Vendors pay a % on their sales. I know this because my daughter is in cheer the people who do competitions don't care who wins what happens as long as they make money.

Neither have a lot of other archaic American pastimes

Thats what I was thinking. Some of these women would be laughed out of an adult pageant competition

ive been thinking the same thing

It's like a tv show we used to get here in the UK on channel 4, called Teeny Boppers, they'd have kids this age dress up and mime to songs that were in the charts at the time, singing inappropriate lyrics, some dressing up like Madonna and looking the way these kids do, that show wasn't on for long I don't think, these pageants should be outdated just like that show.....in my honest opinion, should never have started anyway, kids being exploited really gets to me, I'm a mum.

Her special needs child would probably not really understand all the uproar and anger going on around her, which isn’t going to boost her confidence. What probably WOULD boost her confidence is learning a skill, or finding a hobby that she truly loves. Mom would be much better off trying different activities with her till she finds something she likes. If she got into art, maybe she would find her creativity through painting beautiful pictures. That would lead to a much healthier self esteem and confidence. Hopefully she doesn’t continue the pageants…I really wish they didn’t exist!

This. It doesn't make any sense. Yes they're kids but it is a kids COMPETITION.

I don’t think they were going to listen to scores or whatever, I think she was just meant to go on stage and enjoy walking around with a dress and her hair up feeling pretty. I also would have tried to find a pageant that was more geared to healthy ideas honestly.

Or sports maybe?!? ☺️

But... just plain rice, nothing else to it?
