Yeah, right, every time a kid decides to do something it's because the
kid was being exploited by somebody. Never occurs to you that the kid
may be doing something that was his or her own idea.

Another poor attempt at reasoning. How many kids would drink, have
sex, do drugs and drive the family car while underage if there was no
adult there to supervise them. The answer is practically all of them.

Adults most important job is to advise and raise their children. Any
type of young age activity that gets the media attention like this one
did is exploitation in part or in whole by an adult. Otherwise it
usually doesn't happen.

And that includes things such as the olympics. I've seen more than one
child's childhood ruined by spending her every free moment training for
gymnastics.

Same thing with other sports.


You seem particularly apt at displaying a lack of common sense. Guess
that's no surprise.
