Four-Year-Old Takes Stage With Cigarette On ‘Toddlers & Tiaras’

so sick, I never watched and never will!

Dumb things people make their kids do for Money Sheesh Get A Life Or A Job Poor Kids =(!

It needs to be taken off the air. I think it exploits the children.

Where is CPS, this has to be child abuse… how far will these parents go to win. Child exploitation!

She should be charged with providing tobacco products to a minor. It is illegal to smoke if you are under the age of 18. This could also be considered a form of child abuse, she is abusing her child's health.

I have never watched it & never will either!

And then they wonder why their kids smoke, drink, and get pregnant. They are trying to make them act older than they are. Mommie just wants the money!

The judges should have disqualified the child for inappropriateness and then maybe the Mother would have learned something from this instead of awarding her for something and before you complain about punishing the kid for the stupidity of the mother, the article clearly states this is the mother's dream and the kids just doing it to please her.

This show makes me sick, these moms expose thier own daughters 2 nothing but filth, and 4 what definately not for thier daughters but 4 thier own personal pleasure and enjoyment, they put these girls through hell and don't even care, because all they care and think about is themself, winning, and how it makes them look, they are horriable moms and shouldn't be aloud 2 have kids for what they put thier daughters through, This show should be banned and never seen again, it just makes me sick.

She's living through her child. There is gong to be a lot on annomosity when the kid is older

They should take that show off air.What parents in their right mind put alot of make-up on their child.Its so provoking.Kids these days wore make-up when they r little grows up to do ugly things if u know what I mean.

OMGOSH! and it's a real one at that! This pore child… she needs a new momma cause mommy is all about her own dreams & selfishness! Where is the states Cabinet at? (CSS)

I think these mothers should be ashamed of themselves, and the tv station too, using these babies to make a profit. The cigarette is so stupid , ladies if you have the need to exploit you get on tv and sell your ownself.

I swear I feel like S.W.A.T. will burst into my home and arrest me for watching this show…if it makes me feel guilty what is wrong with the fathers of these girls.

yes its ashame that mothers would put thier little girls threw this mess at such a young age wait until they are older and able to make thier own decisions.

get rid of the show, maybe some of this insanity will stop. Shame on those mothers……..all of them!

Stupid Mother she needs to have her head knocked off what next a beer in the other hand

Show gone Way to Far. TERRIBLE.

Parents are getting out of hand with things they need to have their kids tooken away from them ASAP

this show is really no different than "Teen Mom"…they both glamorize issues in our society which are nothing to be proud of! the saddest part is, the motivation of the participants is money and fame, which the general public is freely giving them by watching, perpetuating the problem! when will we learn that the crap the media hawks as "reality tv" is nothing but made-up, glamorized and dramatized garbage being promoted as "entertainment?" STOP WATCHING, PEOPLE!

get rid of the show half of the kids don't wont to be there and moms try to live through their kids.

Take it off. Cancel the show. Horrible example of nutty mothers who should be deprived of raising their daughters. Foster care would be better than what their mothers are doing to them.

This show is disgusting – I tried to watch one episode and I was just disgusted – never watched again!

i hate that this show is aired. absolutely ridiculous.

This is child abuse.

This is a criminal offense as well as being just plain offensive. These people are sick. I stopped tuning in to anything on TLC after they put this pedifile's dream show on.

That mom is out of her loving mind that lady is a worthless mother. She needs to have her daughter taken away from her that is as much child abuse as whipping them with a belt does she want her baby to die from second hand smoke I feel so bad for the child that I'm infuriated with these mothers actions and they are putting their daughters in grave danger for perverts eyecandy and I am sick of it. That woman is a bad mom. How dare you Lisa for letting your baby smoke a cigarette onstage I hope she gets taken away from you and has a better life.

Why are we having to even thnk about whether this show should be canceled or not, when this kind of crap is happening? I never watched it but the fact it is going on shows how degraded our morals have come. What about the children who are watching it and see this? And why is it permitted on the air when if it was happening in public it would be reported and someone would be behind bars? his is disgusting, revolting, outrageous, and I could go on!

Her parents should be ashamed along with who ever"s idea it was to put this crap on TV. Child exploitation if you ask me!

Just the picture makes me angry! U have beautiful grandchildren, one a six year old little girl, and I would never allow or put my baby on display like they do, or allow her to be exposed and mistreated as these so called mothers do their daughters. Without question, it should be dropped, banned, and never tried again! Yuck!

Illegal to provide tobacco to a minor. Most likely illegal to smoke in a public building and all she lost was a few points? Where is the responsiblility on the part of the judges? The mother is an idiot and is abusing her child. Don't they call this contributing to the deliquency of a minor? I think the mother should be prosecuted.

I don't understand why she didn't get in trouble for that being it was a real cigarette these pageants are horrible for the little girls because they should be judged on their natural beauty and not to be made up like a that

OKAY! THAT my friends is CONTRIBUTING to the delinquency of a MINOR! Her mom needs to be put in jail. I have never watched this show. I only know about it through horrible instances like this one. SERIOUSLY THIS mom should be arrested!

Wtf! This wome has no sense. How can she put her little girl at risk. Ignorant! She loves the pageant more then her child

This mother should be charged with child abuse and providing tabacco to a minor. What is wrong with this woman she is just a baby in my eyes. I think this so is a disgrace, the mothers should be a shamed of thems selfs and the kids I feel very sorry for. I have 5 kids altogether 4 of them are girls and I would never do that to my kids. Make up and dressing them in clothes they shouldn't be wearing. TAKE THIS SHOW OFF THE AIR!

Shame on the Mothers AND the Producers for putting this on the air!

this show is disgusting…how can we forget Jon Benet Ramsey.

Why couldn't she have used a candy cigarette?

I just love (note sarcasm and eye roll) the mom saying "Sandy was a good girl…". Sandy was a fictional character!!! Her daughter is not. What message is this little girl getting about what is ok to do for image?

They should follow some of these girls and find out where they are at in 10 years. This is detrimental to these poor kids.

WTH!!!!!!! Not only should she be charged with providing a minor with a cigarette, bit what mother in her right mind would give her. 4YEAR OLD a cigarette?! She needs to have her f'n head examined cuz that's just plan freaking stupid and irresponsible.

Amen!!! I HEAR ya.

I completely agree with everything you said…..

Sick Lisa

it is wrong and sad to go that far if it were any of us we would loose our child quick CPS. yes take it off the air.

Never seen it never will…that's messed up!

Never seen it never will…that's messed up!

Great parenting! smh

Show Gone Wild.SICKENING! Arrest the mother now!

wow! I cant believe they aired this and that mother didn't get charged. for no reason EVER should you have you kids handle harmful substances for their health. the judges, station, parents, anyone involved or seeing this should have taken action and done something about this! this should def not be a "Public outrage by the viewers" it should be a outrage to anyone seeing or involved. this is the reason our generations are getting worse and worse. why would anyone EVER teach a child to risk their health. esp over money and fame. if you want to kill yourself after your of age go for it but never subject your children to it.

I agree with you Ms. Jeannine, what an awful show.

Diejenigen die so etwas zulassen scheinen mir ein umnebeltes Hirn zu haben

It is a show that is there only because Kittie Porn became illegal. The whole show is there to pander to the child molesters who are the only people who watch it.

that is totsl bullshit.

Probably because mommy already had spent 9 dollars on a pack of Virginia Slims and didn't want to spend the extra 1.50 on the candy ones.

Sorry, but it's not illegal to smoke under 18, it's illegal to buy cigarettes for a minor. When I was in high school, there was the "smoke spot" right off school property, and the cops would patrol, but there is nothing they can legally do to stop you from smoking a cigarette, even at a young age.

I can't fukn believe that. That is horrible. What the hell is wrong with ppl these days.. Damn I can't believe some parents.. It's not fair that those who don't know how to be a parent or doesn't know the meaning or just doesn't care, ect. can have kids and those who actuall deserve it can't.. I can't stand ppl like that.. She's a freakin child. That's basically saying its ok to smoke, be a stripper, ect. I will never watch that show. I only watched 5 min of it and was sick to my stomach. I would never do that if I ever got blessed with a child.

Man, to listen to all you holier than thous….I think it was inappropriate…but CPS? Take the child away? Get a grip.

Ty Sue

Sicko.

Typisch Ami.. Sorry to say so

Wtf, I pop MT kids if thy even act like thy smoking …damn shame

Ryan Shimp
Ryan, they changed those laws and there are no more smoking on school propertys I think they changed that back in the 80's! You can't buy tabacco under 18 and you can be fined for smoking under age they do that here in illinois!

Re read my post.

"smoke spot right off school property,"

Nowhere, in any state, is it illegal to smoke under the age of 18. There is no underage smoking charge, in any state in the US. It is however, illegal to buy them. It's a cache 22.

the show will go off the air if it does not get good ratings…people need to stop watching.

yes! I saw that yesterday and thought it was absolutely disgusting.

yes! I saw that yesterday and thought it was absolutely disgusting.

You know you don't hear "Don't forget to smoke" said to 4 year-old's very much these days.

Completely disgusting, this show is just too much. These are YOUNG KIDS, enough with Tons of makeup, fake craps, and doing completely inappropriate things. Moms need to mental health check ups…wasting all that money for stupid crowns and most of these girls are TOTAL brats!

The typical penalty is confiscation, a fine, community service, tobacco education, driver's license suspension, or jail time. …This is posted on an Illinois site for under age smoking.

I just think this mother was wrong that's all! Have a nice weekend!

I just think this mother was wrong that's all! Have a nice weekend!

i agree these moms are sick…most mothers try to protect their children from the dangers of the world and they are exploiting their little girls….and then u have pervs watchin the stuff that really enjoy seein these tots dresded up like grown women and hookers…thesr moms dont even care that their children are being led down a dangerous rd and at such sn early age

That's just sick

I think what they do is abusive

it is wrong to have a 4 yr old with a cigarette I totally agree but it was a fake cigarette not real it was still wrong but just wanted to clear that up I hated the fact of the cigarette myself its just wrong fake or not.

Ok really, not only the show because they will do anything for ratings but THE MOTHER need a first a visit from CPS, and then a huge fee to the producers of the show….and mom needs to spend sometime taking parenting lessons with only supervised visits to that poor child, they would do the same if I was to spank my child for testing it, lets not try to teach them at 7yrs. wtf

Disgusting, but sometimes you can't fix stupid!

Almost like prostitution… where the audience is the John, the mom is the pimp, and well you know the rest…..

As you say, its illegal to buy cigarettes for a minor. I'm pretty sure a 4 year old counts as a minor. So her mother should in fact be charged with providing a tobacco product to a minor.

I agree 110%

That's absolutely ridiculous! Some people should not be allowed to be parents!

OMG! It wasn't a REAL cigarrette. It was in poor taste and very stupid of the mother. I do fail to see how this is more abusive than child actors, cheerleading competitions, dance competitions, & gymnastic…..

Actually in our state there is. My daughter and several others were ticketed and had to go to court for under age smoking, and she wasn't on school property.

I do fail to see how this is more abusive than child actors, cheerleading competitions, dance competitions, & gymnastic…..

SICK SHOW!

"In order to for her daughter to nail the scene and impress the judges, Destiny’s mother had her daughter perform with a lit cigarette in her hands.

“Don’t forget to smoke,” Destiny’s mother, Lisa, yelled from the sidelines."
Sounds like a REAL cigarette to me. No where in this article does it say it was a fake. It says she was using a "lit cigarette as a prop".

they should be charged e hild abuse child endagerment and distributing to the deliquency of a minor and exploitation and sit in jail forever over it

It wasn't a REAL cigarette. It was a prop. In the worst taste possible. BUT I do fail to see how this is more abusive than child actors, cheerleading competitions, dance competitions, & gymnastic…..

I think its a 20 something little person passing herself off as a four year old toddler btw. It is a sick show…right up there with Idol, Dancing with the stars, Xfactor…etc. All of them are about stroking the ego! xP

Child abuse,

I agree Kate, the decision should be soley on the child or teen not the parents, if the kids what do that, thats fine, but a parent who makes thier chidren do it is wrong cause thier doing 4 thier selves not the child.

I say bann this show take it off the air, ban the whole contest period. This is exploitation of children in the cruelist way stopping these kids from being kids and making them wear make-up and different tricks like dogs in order to stay on top. I say where is CPS and why aren't they protecting these babies. How vain do u think they will be when they do get of age to wear make-up as an adult.

oh noo noo! disgusting!

Regardless whether there is or isn't, it concerns me and obviously many others that this mother has totally lost her parental common sense chip. The child is 4 years old!!! I find this appalling. This "mother" should be charged with child endangerment, abuse, whatever —- she is unfit!

It was fake. The mother even said it on the show. I watched it. Seriously this article is really blowing it out of proportion.

this show should definitely take off the air how does tan mom get in trouble and this lady doesn't absolutely sickening.

Sorry Ryan.

Ohio's new law states it is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy, possess or use cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, snuff or rolling papers.

It's a stage cigarette. They are not tobacco, but they are "lit" and do actually burn. They also taste disgusting. That poor little girl. I foresee pageant organizations changing the rules so that no one can use any kind of smoking prop.

wheres child services when you need them?

That whole show is disgusting.

Ron Green Jr.
this is such a crime. I watched it a couple of times to form my own opinion and boy did I form an opinion. These mothers are so cruel to their children. I hate it. It is abuse as far as I am concerned

Whack jobs.

I live in Florida, and it is illegal to smoke under the age of 18. When I was in high school, I had a lot of friends who were fined and even lost driving rights.

yeah that should be child abuse…and not just the cigarette gives it cause to be….

These kids are the center of their family's attention and many come across as complete brats, all because their mothers want to live vicariously through them. These pageants are not even legitimate. It costs the parents lots of money to enter these pageants and of course everybody wins something just to keep everyone happy. One contest even gave away a dog to one of the winners. (Lots of crying going on there. Everyone but the mothers wanted that damn puppy!) They make up ridiculous categories so everyone walks away with something and the crowns are so cheap most of them break even before they leave the building. And the costuming just keeps getting more and more outlandish and competitive to the point it borderlines prostituting their own children, who look nothing like themselves once the make up, false hair and teeth are removed. Pumping them up with sugar sticks and Mountain Dew (Go-go juice) wake them up (many are cranky and half asleep right before they go on stage). It is unreal to watch. It is a pedophile's dream. Can't these parents see that? Most of these mothers are overweight and look and act like white trash and totally embarrass themselves. It has nothing to do with talent. These little girls just get on stage and shake their booty. One of the most appalling things I witnessed was a little toddler all dressed up who had to be carried on stage by her mother because she couldn't even walk yet and the announcer said her favorite food was baby formula! Barely out of the womb and her mother is already throwing her to the all the sick pedophiles out there. These people are insane. I have witnessed enough. Your kids are not going to be 'stars' and the law needs to step in to protect these kids. It's just too much. Where are the dads? Protect your daughters dammit. Your wives aren't doing it. Step it up.

Ryan I dont know what state u are in but in WI it is illegal to be under 18 and be caught smoking! This child needs to be takin away!!!

OMG…sick

I would have deducted points for using a fake cigaratte. I mean if you're going to play Sandy you need to sell it… Marlboro Reds or go home.

In Texas it is illeagal: Sec. 161.252. POSSESSION, PURCHASE, CONSUMPTION, OR RECEIPT OF CIGARETTES OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS BY MINORS PROHIBITED. (a) An individual who is younger than 18 years of age commits an offense if the individual:(1) possesses, purchases, consumes, or accepts a cigarette or tobacco product;

I think 99.5 of these "reality" shows should be taken off the air and be replaced with good entertainment that most of us aren't embarrassed to watch. Reality shows really aren't how many people do you know live the way they portray, they are scripted. Either they are so stupid or they go way to far but guess they won't because they are money making shows.
This mother just went way to far this time and I think she should be charged for contributing to a minor.

Ryan…I don't know where you live, but it is illegal for someone under 18 to purchase or smoke where I live. Fact is there are some cities where I live, you can't smoke in your yard, house or car. And heaven help someone who is caught in a car smoking with kids in it…that's how tough the laws have gotten in some citiies here. And I approve! That is from a smoker too.

I don't even watch the show and I know it was fake cigarette!! Although the thought of a 4 year old even fake smoking its disturbing, she was not smoking!! Shame on the journalist who wrote this article with out all of the facts, and shame on all of you that are so quick to believe whatever you read!!

even though all of that is pretty much the same because many parents somewhat use their children to do things that they couldn't do, but also some of these things are a way to have children occupied. There are times if you know your child looks like they could be good at something like dancing or acting, they will put them in something like that but the beauty contest is showing that she has to look superficial in order to look beautiful. There is no reason for a child to have to wear alll that makeup and dress like she's a grown woman. I was saying that for children if there is a contest like that, they shouldn't be so made up but in any of those things you mentioned, if the child wants to do it let them. I wish I was able to get my son started in a sport when he was young but some of the sports, the games were on sunday and I was not going to miss going to church for it.

So that isn't child absue …what the fuck. That bitch needs to be slappe with a lit cigarette. She bringing harm to her child just to win a fucking Pageant. What happened to the electronic cigarettes wouldn't that been a better idea?

they said in the article it was a lit cigarette!!

This woman should be charged with endangering the welfare of a child if not other charges! It is illegal to give a minor cigarettes, especially a four year old! Also the little girl could have burned herself or someone else. This show is truly ridiculous and sickening for the fact these mothers ALL have issues and are living their broken dreams through their children. Let the kids be just that and if they want to get them in to something when they are older that would be less damaging to the child. There are things I wanted to do as a child and when I grew up but I sure won't set out vto force my son to accomplish them all for me. They were my wants and desires NOT his!

This is awful!!

This is awful!!

Ryan Shimp your wrg it is illegal to be a minor and smoke cigs and its illegal to purchase them with the intent to distribute to a minor. im pretty sure its been illegal for a little while now

Disgusting. This is why I don't watch that show.

disgusting

Ryan Shimp
I'm from ohio and the parent gets a fine if the child is caught smoking under the age of 18. It's 250 and in one case the cop even took the rest of the kids pack and threw them away and when it went to court the mother got fined another 500 for buying for a person under 18 with 10 days in jail.

Thats just disgusting. The person that encouraged and allowed that to happend should have child services after their ass.

not sit in jail forever but def get charged with something to show her that it is NOT ok to do such things and make an example to those other less than fit mothers to make the same mistake

Kids smoking or simulating smoking is a sure-fire pearl-clutching moment for me. Ugh.

Kids smoking or simulating smoking is a sure-fire pearl-clutching moment for me. Ugh.

My niece puts her kids in these disgusting pageants every week! They have been featured TWICE on this nasty show! (go to YouTube and look up BRAXTON and ALASKA on Toddlers &Tiaras). Her son is 6 and hates competing against girls. Her daughter is 9 and has become a diva. It disgusts the whole family. My niece's name is Lori and she has been voted the Worst Pagaent Mom by the viewers of that show! She BLEACHES her kids' teeth! She uses HAIR DYE on her daughter's blonde eyelashes to make them "pop." Alaska says it burns–not to mention the potential blindness! They spend a fortune on this crap and usually win, but spend way more than they gain! Now she's pregnant again, undoubtedly because these kids are getting older and she needs a new kid to throw into these things! It's nasty! She set up FB pages for both kids. Th

Everything I have seen on The Soup, making the show. a joke, is shocking to me. They should all be arrested and the children removed from their home.

Dude it's illegal to smoke with your kids in the car so Wth would possess you to give your 4 year old a real lot cigarette and have her puffing on it even of she isn't "inhaling" People make me sick. I hope other parents and the district attorney sue the shit out of that lady.

You must be embarrassed

Yet, I'm still annoyed by everyone freaking out because she may have been exposed to tobacco. As if that is even close to the biggest problem with this scenario.

Continuing…She set up Facebook fan pages for both of the kids. Most of the members are older men–pedophiles! These pageants are always held in a hotel meeting room. The only people who go are the kids, their parents and the judges (other parents

Isn't that some form of kid abuse??

i feel shows like that and the people that does that to there kids are horrible people and needs some painful shock therapy combined with a good strong bitch-slap with a brick

This is pathetic! Where do we draw the line saying : ENOUGH! It's mothers like this, that make mothers like me, have to go into detail about the pageants I allow my daughter to do. If make-up is required (or even "highly suggested") the answer is NO! If she must wear inapproiate clothing (dresses made to cover the bare-essentials only) the answer is NO! Some children have NATURAL beauty and that is what the judges should be looking for. I had my daughter watch the show once and that was to show her the hell some girls go through to be "beautiful". FAKE face (ie: tons of make up), FAKE hair (wigs, extensions, ect.), FAKE teeth (inserts for lost teeth, ect), FAKE skin (spray on tans). All this added up equals FAKE beauty with FAKE smiles and REAL confidence/self worth issues. My daughter has won several pageants (to include Texas State Finialist – 2nd place) with eye shadow, lip gloss, and a full lenghth ball gown! No excessive make up. No provoctive clothing. AND NOTHING THAT WOULD JEPORDIZE HER HEALTH OR SAFETY! It's time to stop rewarding bad behavior. Stop paying people who do the wrong thing, and then wonder why they do it again but worse. If we allow shows like this to continue, all we are telling them is that what they are doing is ok. IT'S NOT!

All parents that are exploiting their young children "should be charged with at least $10,000.00 FINE… The PATHETIC MOTHER OF THIS CHILD WITH A CIGARETTE IS GARBAGE AND CHILDREN AND FAMILY SHOULD BE AT HER DOOR STEP! TAKE THE DAM SHOW OFF AIR "IT'S DISGUSTING!"

Mehh its not that big a deal. she was doing a bit and it is popular on the circuit.

Any dad that lets his child's mother exploit his daughter in any of these sadistic ways just to fuel her own twisted, long lost youth and larger than life ego is a damn fool. When you expose kids to these kind of things it always come back to haunt you later in life.

She could have very well used a fake cigarette.

WTF GOING ON IN THIS PSYCHOATIC WORLD! GET THIS OFF THE AIR! AND GET CPS AND EVERY AURTHORITY WHO GOT SOME SENSE TO CHARGE THAT MOM WITH ABUSE! DAM! PEOPL WAKE UP! THE LAW IS SCREWED UP! IN THIS COUNTRY!

Ryan Shimp IT IS ILLEGAL IN ANY STATE TO PROVIDE A CHILD UNDER 18 WITH TABACCO "I AM 100% CERTAIN THIS LITTLE GIRL DID NOT GO TO ANY STORE TO BUY WHAT SHE IS HOLDING IN HER HAND! HER MOTHER SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT AND ABUSE!

Let alone a cigarette?!!??! Where are the parents morals?

Not cool

there Mother should be put a way for good or be shot at let the Grils have a good life and fun stop pushing them into some thing you want Not them.

and they wonder why, we have the trouble with kids, just look at the trash teaching them, I think mom and dad needs a little respect taught them," maybe a good spanking too"just to begin.

Her mother should be arrested on many charges for this! If this was just one of us regular everyday moms they would bury us under the jail! The mother again needs the crap beat out of her! I didn't get to be in pagents either even though I wanted to be but after the Jon Bennet thing and this show Toddlers in Tiaras there is no way in hell my daughter will participate in pagents! They are little girls still babies if you want to judge them in a contest it should be their natural beauty not a ton of makeup and fake boobs and sexy pervocative clothes What the hell is wrong with these so called mothers!

Just nauseating…I remember when TLC stood for the learning channel, now the only thing I learn there is just how low people can go. Awful.

Those parents have some real issues! How sick is this??

@Kate, it WAS a REAL cigarette used as a prop. It was lit, re-read the article. And this is not the first contraversal case on this show. There was just one where a mother had her daughter wear fake boobs and butt to look like Dolly. The dad is now divorcing the mother and trying to get full custody of the child (WTG Dad). There is a court order now that the mother cannot put her daughter in any more pagents until this is settled in court. I'm very proud ofthis father for protecting his child from an evil mother like that.

This is just sickening.. I don't understand the world today… they want to take things off seasame street like the grouch because hes mean, the count because hes scarry, and cookie monster can hold his cookies but not eat them but then they let this junk go on tv. of parents exploiting their little girls and making them look like cheap hookers.

I agree I never did like that show… make the girls grow up too fast and learn bad habits…

I agree with u a 100 percent..i understand their pagents but to dress them like their grown is ridicolous..wen they get older their gonna think its ok to wear provacitive clothes and tons of makeup..its ok for a child to be pretty n feel good but not looking like a streetwalker at the age of 3..smdh..some of them mothers need to be punched in the mouth..it makes me sick to see parents forceing their kids to b in sumthin they dont want to b in..

They're jsut as bad. They still put tobacco into your system only you dont have to worry about the smoke clogging up your lungs

Hmmmmm, let's see, I think the shows go something like this…………..Toddler's and Tiar's—-Teen Mom—-Intervention. That pretty much sums it up. What the hell is wrong with these people! The crazy a$$ mom's should be charged in soooo many instances. God help those babies!

It sounds like its time to question this mother's fitness to raise a child. It also sounds like its time to question the station production company that would air this inappropriate exploitation of children and call for viewers to BAN THIS TRASH!

That show is disgusting…absolutely disgusting. It should be taken off the air.

I think the exploitation of small children is wrong. The mothers of these toddlers are not wrapped to tightly. I totally disprove of the whole Toddlers in Tiara's.

Think the mother needs beat for allowing a child to do that at all. Come on a cigarette in a four year old hands, let alone smoking it. What kind of trash does that to their child?

IKR the little girl says she likes the pagents because her mommy says so!!! All these pagents are for is the mother! I child just wants to be a child and every child is beautiful so why worry with these compititions! They are time consuming and a waste of money and time! Put my daughter in a pretty dress and fix her hair and she feels like a princess she don't need some stupid compitition to tell her she is beautiful! Its the so called mommy apparently who needs to be reassured she has a beautiful child!

My kids have picked up pencils and sticks and stuff and tried to play like that I just politely explain and show them what smoking does to the body! And they absolutly know that if I catch it again it will be a spanking!

its so not right… this show should be cancelled we are only teachin this youngster its ok to smoke and its not if someone even thought about puttin a cigarette in one of my kids mouth there would be a big issue.

Her mom is a idiot she won't make it with career choice but she just made her curiouse about smoking now.

Anne when I was in high school in the ealry 90s they had a smoke spot too… I graduated in 95.

I watched one time when it first came out and it made me sick! Then someone was telling me about this child Honey BooBoo and I watched the advertisement! She is worse than any of them!
And with her its not just her mom its her dad too! These are people who should not be aloud to be parents

It is illegal to buy cigarettes for a minor. Period. New topic: Not every mother on this show is a nut job. I watched this show origionally as a social discource experiment. I was surprised that a lot of the mothers are neurotic and go way overboard; but it wasn't any more abusive than soccer moms who scream at the coaches and refs. The problem, in general, is not the pagents themselves. It's the individuals who feel that giving a 4 year old a cigarette is 'normal' who have a problem. That isn't a pagent problem, that's a social problem. There will ALWAYS be bad parents. And, for my own little extra anal retentive note: Please don't write in text message form when providing feedback on a written forum. It's obnoxious. They don't charge by the letter here.

that show and the parents that allow their child to be on there are messed up.i would never allow my daughter to dress like they do and wear as much makeup as they do.its not setting good examples for our children.

i agree, that woman should be charged with child abruse. people have been charged with child abruse 4 a hell of a loss less.

Not only is this inappropriate, it is illegal! I think the utter exploitation of these innocent little girls is egregiously nauseating. The moms should get a life of their own instead of living through their daughters vicariously. Why on earth would you allow a FOUR year old to touch a cigarette and try to look likes she's a whore? Is that the "image" we want our daughters to portend or is it one of class, education and health? Take the show off the air along with all the other trashy "reality" shows. Read books and become educated instead of promoting trash and filth on television!

You mothers should be ashamed of yourself. Those lil girls should be outside playing and being kids. Your stealing their youth.

28-11-13 Minors: unlawful and lawful actions
In Alabama, it is unlawful for any minor to purchase, use, possess, or transport tobacco or tobacco products within this state.
28-11-14 Minors, penalties
Any tobacco or tobacco product found in the possession of a minor is contraband and subject to seizure by law enforcement….

Yes it is. I come from a family of police officers and it is a 100 dollar fine for smoking under 18. It is illegal to have a tobacco product in you possession. Now if someone that was 18 or older was holding it then there is nothing a cop could do.

I wish they would cancel this show and take these children away from their parents!!!!

This is so wrong. This show is way out of line. If they want to do a pagent than do it with a normal child not with a child who is madde into something she is not. I quit watching the show and I definately will not watch it in the future.

Why would you even try to justify any of this? This is why America is going down the drain. People are so desensitized to violence, evil and negativity that everything can be justified in one way or another. America needs to grow a backbone and stand for what's right. Letting a child smoke isn't right. For "authenticity" or not, what this mom did is wrong. Don't waste your breath or finger strength arguing over legal implications, wrong is wrong.
BTW… it's "CATCH-22". Let the angry responses ensue! =0)

As a judge I would have gotten up off my seat and took it away from the child. And asked the mother to leave. The mom could have used a Lolly pop and t
He judges would have had the same idea as the movie..

To me that show gives all the child molesters something to J@#k off too. It has got to be the worst idea a TV exec. has come up with! It exploits children and the mothers need to get their heads screwed on straight!

My favorite channel is turning into trash. Toddlers and Tiara's, honey boo boo is pure trash. What happened to the Little Couple, Duggars, Little people. Your show destroyed the Gosselins. Don't you care what decent people want to watch anymore? That is the end of cable for me. Shame on you! And people wonder what is wrong with our country. We have lost pride and respect big time.

In other words pull the show asap!

I watched the show it was a prop, NOT a real cigarette. This article is meant to inflame people against the show. So no real surprise they stretched the truth.

Art and I were just discussing this show a day or two ago as i introduced him to Alana aka Honey boo boo or whatever her name is. The entire concept of the show just infuriates me. I feel it is borderline child abuse. And the self image issues they are setting these girls up to have….the whole thing just makes me sick.

Shame on you Mom! Get off your daughter and live your own dream you are lucky they don't press charges for child endangerment! Go get a toy for your self your daughter isn't here to fulfill your pathetic glamorized dreams!

In the show's defense, toddlers and tiaras has never claimed to be a show loaded with intelligence, class, dignity, or self respect – back woods and bottom of the barrel :/

While I like beauty pageants for little girls I do not agree with the fakeness of them. I don't think they should be allowed to wear flappers, hair pieces, make up, lashes, fake tans or high heels for that matter. They are LITTLE girls, not women. What happened to the beauty contest that show case real natural beauty? Oh yeah, we have never had them… everything is now so fake on women we are imposing these awful images of what 'real women' should look like. It is horrid. And people wonder why their daughters kill themselves to be everything that they are not. Sad.

"Toddlers & Tiaras" Breeding Americas future Strippers, Prostitutes & Porn Stars. America! Fuck Yeah!

horrible

if you want to dress up a creature and make it display itself for points….get a dog!!! These people make me sick.

I really do think it would be beneficial for you to look up the underaged smoking laws in your state. It changes from state to state and there are laws that prohibit underaged teens from possessing tobacco products. Also, learn how to key the term "catch 22" correctly.

best of luck to you.

Alaska Statutes.
Title 11. Criminal Law
Chapter 76. Miscellaneous Offenses
Section 105. Possession of Tobacco By a Minor.
previous: Section 100. Selling or Giving Tobacco to a Minor.
next: Section 106. Selling Tobacco Outside Controlled Access.
AS 11.76.105. Possession of Tobacco By a Minor.

(a) A person under 19 years of age may not knowingly possess a cigarette, a cigar, tobacco, or a product containing tobacco in this state. This subsection does not apply to a person who is a prisoner at an adult correctional facility.
(b) Possession of tobacco by a minor is a violation.

what next a bottle of vodka!!

This child needs to be put in a good home.

First of all I think the mother's common sense went out the window on this one. BUT this article is misleading IT WAS NOT A REAL CIGARETTE! It was a prop you can buy in Halloween store for pity sake. A few years back the high school did Grease and our Sandy used a prop like that too. The kid was acting a part it wasn't child abuse. I'm on the fence on this issue. these kids aren't exposed to any thing any child actor or actress goes through… Gymnastic/ cheerleading kids break bones and compete hurt yet where the out cry? they wear a lot of make up too and tiny uniforms…. Who gets to draw the line?

GET RID OF THIS SHOW NOW! AND GET RID OF HONEY BOO BOO TOO!

I think the show needs to be taken off the air and the mothers need counseling. As for the cigarette that is really off course. Don't these moms know that these little girls are going to think it's ok to smoke and possible other things?

Fu#*$ stupid

Seriously! I'm disgusted with the media, anything goes and nothing is sacred. If it weren't for the Science Channel I wouldn't have Cable at all. Ugh. =(

May not be illegal to SMOKE cigarettes but it is illegal to GIVE a minor cigarettes…I think Child Services should step in on this one! If she's willing to go that far who knows how far she will be willing to go.

^ thank you….. ryan you are a dumb*SS for saying anything like that in a public room. check your facts before you post something so stupid and completely false. A 4 year old is smoking a cigarette on stage in front of millions of viewers and you find it important to tell people that its not illegal ( which it is) rather than saying how disgusting this mother is for letting her daughter do something like this.

It only takes a few minutes to watch the video. It was not a lit cigarette. The girl threw it on the stage as part of her act and it didn't burn anything. There was no smoke coming from the allegedly "lit" cigarette which, to me, indicates nothing was burning. Since the girl is saying "I need a real cigarette" while she's practicing and her family members are saying "no you don't", I'm pretty sure it was just a prop.

Couldn't of said it better myself!

i agree!…some parents will do anything to get there kids in the lime light…it's sad and disgusting!…these are the days we live in…anything goes!

couldn't have said it any better Lois

Very well said Tanya…I totally agree!!!

I think the whole show should go. These parents will in a few years be wodering why their child is acting like a tramp. Well they started it. These beautiful little girls are being pushed out there an told how to act by their Mother. These Moms are whore wannna be's. They should put in jail for child abbused.

no it wouldve of been electronic, candy or real one is wack!!

THE WORD IS ALLOWED NOT ALOUD. THEY SOUND THE SAME BUT R SPELLED DIFFERENTLY.

Agreed!!!

how disgusting, and how dangerous in all sorts of ways… Not everybody should have children, sorry to say, just those who truly love kids for who they are, not for what they want them to be.

She should be charged child abuse. as most of these mothers should be. who in there right mind would dress there 3 or 4 yr old to look like a adult. I have seen this show and to me its like watching a horror show it just bothers me to think these lil girls have to grow up so fast they have no child hood. Let alone the verbal abuse I saw on the show Mothers screaming at there child telling them I have paid all this money for you to be here.If u want your child to be in a pageants why can't they just be them self with out the Make-up and all the other crap u buy to make them look 16 judge them on there Natural Beauty and talents. It is illegal to give or buy a Minor cigarettes… Mo Matter how much we Comment on this there will be nothing done." Money Talks".

Whether it's a real cigarette or just a fake prop, it's still inappropriate and sends the wrong message. More concerning is the fact that the mother's living her "missed pageant opportunities" through her child. That show is a travesty and some of the mothers are nutjobs in the first place. Not surprised at what they will do to their children for a prize.

The show needs to be taken off the air.

The Pagent Officals condone the behavior of the Parent when they awarded the Child an award. The child should have been disqualified right on the spot….there should be rules for inapropriate behavior for children that age. That routine could have been done without the cigarrette….knowing a child her age should not have one in her hands.
Her Mother needs to be investigated by DFACS. The Pagent needs their license pulled for not stopping the show at that point and getting the child off the stage. These people need to step up and have some standards for the Moms to follow and consider the saftey of these children.

I won't watch it or let my daughter watch it. I did see it one time and that was enough for me. the children are exploited and the children are misbehaved and basically bribed with material things in order to do the show. What message does this send the girls? If you stomp your feet hard enough, you will be rewarded. It is nauseating when the mother is there watching the daughter perform. The mothers are basically trying to get their daughters to looks like showgirls. Can you imagine since that show has been on the air how many pedefiles are watching it and then who knows what. They are exposing their daughters to perverts. That is a total waste of a show and how they can promote and still be considered a family freindly network is beyond me.

Providing tobacco to a minor? Isn't there a fine for that. Someone call the cops. Worthless show.

This is repulsive the show should be canceled what pageant condones this everyone involved should be arrested

I agree, those mothers are exploiting their child…I can think of other plans for these kids that God has for them..I don't watch this show for that reason….

Totally misaligned priorities of this mother. Little pageants for kids are cute because little kids say and do funny things because the kid is intelligent and funny. You're right they don't need to be fake. Their individual personalities are hilarious.

I agree. That show becomes more and more disgusting. Stupid parents.

I agree. That show becomes more and more disgusting. Stupid parents.

She should have been disqualified, Im sorry the mom should have been arrested. Its just wrong!!!

there is such a thing as a candy cig that lights if you really wanted to use it that bad! horrible mom I hope cps takes her child.

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!

Totally tasteless, inappropriate and unhealthy. Why do we watch this reality crap….most of it is fake. It's there enough drama in the real world?

Totally tasteless, inappropriate and unhealthy. We wonder why children grow up with problems. Why do we watch this reality crap. It is almost all fake and stupid. Isn't there enough drama in real life.

Saw this show one time and it made me sick. The children are abused and exploited on so many levels. The mothers were so aggressive, the children look like tarts. Can't imagin what this will do for thier developemnet.

This is soooooo wrong! What are people thinking of, certainly not thinking of these sweet babies

wow….her mom is a bright one.

Oh wow!

Her parents should be slapped for allowing this to happen!@.

The cigarette was a candy cigarette, as the mother explained. Still, I think the "idea" of a cigarette was enough to disqualify her from the competion….. as were the fake boobs and the Hooker outfit protrayed by previous constetents. Come on people, let's draw a line in the sand as to what is healthy behavior for these childrens and what is not healthy behavior. Bottom line: The shock value keeps up the ratings…. and good ratings equal money.

YES—-YES—YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THIS SHOW NEEDS TO BE CUT! THE WORST SHOW BESIDES THAT IDIOT SHOW. NONEY BOO…. ANOTHER STUPID SHOW.. GET RID OF THIS CRAP! PUT SOMETHING MORE ENJOYABLE ON!

I hate that show. This is disgusting!

I don't think it should be taken off the air, but I do think parents should KNOW what is too drastic or too pushy. I think parents should have sense enough to keep the modesty. I think some kids actually WANT to do pageants and that's great let them, but they shouldn't be forced into because the mom never had the opportunity.

i agree .. but when i was growning up as a kid there were candy cigarettes everywhere. i guess that was before they realized that inhailing smoke caused you to cough

Absolutely disgusting! She is so contributing to the abuse of a child!

@Kelly…you're right, it IS infuriating. and it's not BORDERLINE child abuse, it IS child abuse, exploitation or whatever you want to call it. Anyone who watches it seriously has a lack of education or common sense in how female children should act or be treated. This does not show that, as Americans, we have respect for our women/females whatsoever. We're as bad as the Taliban! It is disgusting and embarrassing.

UNREAL! Child Abuse personified! WHERE'S DYFS? A parent hit their kid on the bum for misbehaving and they go to jail, pay a HIGH fine and the kid is taken away from them because they are considered "abusive parents" — BUT THIS IS ALLOWED?

I've seen a couple episodes and couldn't believe the mouths on the toddlers! Yelling and screaming (some even swearing) at their parent(s) and telling THEM what should be done! Starting kids off at the age of 3 months for these pageants? COME ON! Where's their childhood! TOTALLY DISGUSTING! TOTAL CHILD ABUSE!

I totally agree. The reality shows glamorize bad behavior.

I HATE THAT SHOW

agreed! so if we all shut off our televisions, and read a book, do you think the brilliant minds in the altered State of Hollywood will notice??

O.k. Seriously moms go to far already, exploiting young children. the only time I let my little girl get dressed up and with make-up is halloween. their are Nasty people out their waiting and thinking of things to do to young children girls and boys alike. making them look like models is just saying come look at my little girl your just advertising your child for nasty people, they will home in on that and in their mind think it is alright to hurt that young child. giving your child a lit cigarette to make her look the part and win points is horrible, there are such things as Props that do not require something dangerous. for god sake she could have given her a candy cigarette and used food coloring on the end to make it look lit.

That is totally wrong… I agree with sherry she should be charged with contributing tobacco to a minor… She's a bad influence for her daughter…

I totally agree with Ron Green, the show should be banned!

very sad..

Take this show off the air this is crap she is four not 18

I totally agree with you 100%

I don't know she looks pretty bad ass I think. Haha.

This is horrible & wrong! Just look at the girls comment. She is not doing it bcuz she likes it.. DA! I have always thought the show needed to be STOPPED. This is just one other reason to get rid of such rubbish.

It was a prop!!! Dang then oaw most Halloween costumes for kids due to violence. Toy guns, fake blood. Can go on and on.

You know, this wouldn't even be an issue if parents put the welfare of their children, FIRST, instead of sacrificing their childhood and making them a celebrity for their own egos. And, more importantly, if the viewing public STOPPED watching this digusting reality crap, there'd be no need to hold a poll to decide whether the program should be removed.

If the American People would have their way (probably) TV would not be able to SMOKE, SEX, & USE BAD WORDS ON TV. Everyone watches TV and that is setting a bad example for our children.

isn't peyton in pageants?

OMG. UGH. At first she was using an empty tube. Borderline… ok not borderline. That was inappropriate too. But over the top, don't tell me the one in her hand in the show was not real. You could see the tar collecting on the paper. That is NOT an empty tube. And empty tubes do not light like that!

All of this makes me sick to my stomache! disgusting, ridiculous, child abuse…. pure and simple!

I have never watched this show and never will. I feel the audience is as bad as the mothers and the promoters because they enjoy watching this abuse. You have the choice as to watch or not. Stop watching and complain to the promotors that this is abuse and you refuse to be a party to it.

There is no reason why she couldn't have made her use a candy cigarette if it was for effect in what she was doing…even that is over the top for this sort of program.

I guess it depends on whether she inhaled… (just joking)

PLEZZZZZZZZZZ this Mom is a MEDIA WHORE using her daughter to get there just like the rest of those Mothers EXSPECIALLY Honey Boo Boo's Mom now that's a low class with no morals Mom !! I just want to be still alive when this child grows up and sees what a fool she made of her and the fool she made out of herself just to get on T V!!

I believe you mean "Contributing", not Distributing. Really?

This mother knew excatlly what she was doing she knew this would bring in the media's attention!!!

I watched that episode, the mother said it was a fake cig in the beginning. Even if it was real, it was not lit. The media is portraying this situation all wrong.

I agree! Put all of that money that they spend on pageants into their COLLEGE FUND!

all I have to say is remember jonbennet ramsey…that little girl was murdered at age 6 and her mother put her in these stupid contests.

Thank you, Emily, for the extra note! It IS ANNOYING, which is why I do NOT text!

agree!!!!!

I agree! And, by the way, I am one of those people who can't have kids, but wanted them so badly! It makes me sick that some of these Moms have the title of Mother!

I SECOND THE HONEY BOO BOO SHOW! What a bunch of rednecks! And ALL of her kids are FAT (Including the pageant girl); Mom is 32 Years Old and has a pregnant 17-year-old! As I said, what a bunch of REDNECKS!!!

Absolutely – the show should go away and the mothers should get a life instead of exploiting their children in these inappropriate ways!

But it is okay to glamorize being a whore? The whole show I said is messed up and is a bunch of messed up mothers that are living there broken dreams through their children. It makes a big difference to use a fake cigarette than have a real one and tell your child "don't forget to smoke honey". Yes the fake one would have been sending a bad message as well but it wouldn't be an actual burning cigarette with her ingesting horrible chemicals.

I agree Carol, the semantics do not matter, it's completely inappropriate on every level. It's a disgusting and deadly thing to glamorize.

The whole show is a disgrace. What you should have now is "Toddlers and Tiaras + 20 years". I'm pretty certain you would be watching "Dance Moms". Children need to be children and not be exposed to gawdy adult junk. Wigs, spray tanning, make up, suggestive clothing, a fat momma yelling "smile, smile" attemptsingto regain her spent youth, clothing that costs enough to pay a mortgage. What are American parents thinking of? And now we add the boobs, booties and bong. Thank goodness Andy Griffeth is still available in reruns.

Ditto.

Let the show die of attrition. It's trash. Don't watch it and the show will be cancelled. That's how it works.

As a Grand Father of many kids, I believe that this is diccusting and cruel for a child sooo young…

This show makes me sick to my stomach!…The parents need to be locked up!!

this makes me sik and very very angery.

I think this is one show that should be taken off the air, the majority of the mothers on this show, are living thru thier daughters. It is disgusting, its call exploiting children! Why promote something like this, there really are pageants out there where the mothers don't act like idiots and get mad if their child does not win, I even was changing channels one night and heard a mom really degrading her child for not doing everything right. Sad, Sad, SAd.

In bad taste, definitely – the whole show is. I saw the clip when channel flipping and it was one of those fake cigarettes.

Honey Boo Boo's family makes me wonder if they ever heard of birth control where they come from.

It's grotesque.

All these parents should be taken to court and charged with child abuse, they should play dress up at home like little girls always like to do, then it's cute.

OMG this pisses me off so bad. How much longer are we going to let this atrocity of a show continue? How is this not child endangerment? Her mother should be arrested and thrown in jail. In fact, the writers, producers, pageant sponsors and TLC should all be charged. What is it going to take people…a little girl dying? Oh wait, that's right…one already did. Her name was Jon Benet. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tell-TLCDiscovery-Network-to-takeToddlers-Tiaras-off-the-air/236005709746490

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT GRANDMA BETTE!!!!! YOU TELL THEM!!!!!!

Thanks Pat, I am sure you agree with me,no doubt.Dressing up in Mom's old clothes and heels and make-up is always fun for them.Where did these Mom's go wrong,I feel sorry for them.

These "mothers" have AIR IN THEIR HEADS! Something is definitely missing from their lives when they have to dress up little girls to imitate women. POOR SOULS!

This woman, a so called "parent" should have her ass hauled to jail for doing that to her own child. For a pageant? On her way to prison, she should be slapped! And to applaud what Sherry McCormick wrote down below, the mother should be charged with child endangerment. What is the world coming to when mother's will treat their little girls like this? I watched the show for all of 10 minutes and was outraged that this is going on. I swear it's abuse. This show needs to come off the air, the parents charged with exploitation and abuse and those little girls go to parents that are REAL! Oh Lord help us all.

Child protection should be contacted by the show then they should be kicked out of the show and pageant!

I see my last comment was deleted. I agree with you as well Carol but was just saying she could have used a fake cigarette at least the girl wasn't holding a burning cigarette and ingesting harmful chemicals but the mother had to go above and beyond with her ignorance. It is wrong period. The entire show is wrong and disgusting. They are degrading and destroying these little girls minds and childhoods and it is sickening.

WHY people even watch this is beyond me…society is part of the problem..we are watching people degrade children for entertainment value…this is not funny, this show is not cute it's just plan sad.

OMG !! Television is getting really ridiculous with these shows! This is very sad!

That's one mom that needs some serious therapy!!

I would punch that parent right in the face. Good thing I don't go to these pervfests.

Just wrong, just plain wrong and if people would stop watching they would not have a show. This mother should be charged with endangering her child. The judges should have penalized her to the fullest extent and not rewarded her.

It was a fake cigarette. I don't agree with the message it sent, but it was a fake.

you know a culture is superficial and materialistic when… shows like this and jersey shore are popular.

That's just crazy!

That's just crazy!

The show is extremely disgusting…the parents should be ashamed of themselves…they are poor excuses for parents…it is absolutely rediculous what they put those children through…not to mention, the lack of morals they are teaching the children…

I agree Robin, it's disgusting!!

I agree Robin, it's disgusting!!

Isn't this the same little girl that had on fake boobs and booty, a week or so back…

Isn't this the same little girl that had on fake boobs and booty, a week or so back…

When we were in Little Miss and Jr. Miss Clifton, there wasn't anything like this. We did it for fun. So glad our parents didn't go to this extreme.

she should be reported for child abuse!

that is disgusting whatever programme is promoting this should be barred from transmittingx

Theres far worse going on behind closed doors with no cameras or videos that can be posted on the news or the web. This is just the tip of the big bad world of child abuse going on in this big world. Think of the worse thing someone could do to another child or adult. Someone out in this world is doing something worse than that-right now, this second.

It was a fake cigarette and she was acting out a scene from Grease!

What the hell was she thinking?! Thats's a four year old little girl….with a lit cigarette in her mouth! Suprised she didn't get arrested!

Sick and Sad

This is Child Endangerment. Put the mothers in jail and take the show off.

She needs to stop living through her daughter. And I disagree with the pagent thing period, it use to be about there natural beauty them not all this other crap now there treating them and wanting them to look like grown ass women.. WTF

I could go on and on but it gets my blood boiling and that's just not good..

and they aired? seriously…like sherry said. is the show losing rateings?

While I agree with your assessment of these programs, I have to say something about Dance Moms since you brought it up. I know 4 of the girls in that show and trust me, they are all normal little girls. They all go to public school. They are friendly and sweet, not stuck up at all. The children in Toddlers & Tiaras are in a different league altogether. The Dance Moms are reading from a script. Not always nice I agree. But the girls are sweet and unspoiled. They are respectful to their parents and teachers also. Sorry Jerri, I have to speak up for my girls.

Have only seen the previews , but there is another one that should be taken off the air. It's called " Honey Boo Boo" . I think that is the name of it.

this show also shows how rude and obnoxious the toddlers are to the parents and sends the wrong messages to the children that watch the show.

All I have to say,is this childs so called Mother needs her ass kicked, and reported to the authorities, why does the network broadcast this stuff, and how do they get a way with it too?

Wow I wonder what Tom Bailey has to say about this http://instantcashplugin.com/id/christinamt.

View the latest updates from Tom Bailey from Microsoft at http://instantcashplugin.com/id/christinamt.

I don't even consider the girls. I'm sure they are all you say they are, but having moms read from a script that indicates the mean, vicious, vindictive side of life is a great indicator of what the toddlers will no doubt become. We are rapidly becoming the bottom of the food chain in order to gain money and fame. Sad!

I'm no expert on either show. Once was enough for me. But I was appalled the other day when listening to a six-year-old girls tell everyone she 'loved' the Dance Moms show. It doesn't even concentrate on the girls. What I saw was sad little girls listening to irate mothers scream at each other. Even if it is designed to be 'staged', it's demoralizing for children, teens to see the financially rewarding way to settle disagreements. I'm glad you are defending your girls and I'm glad they are as nice as you say.

its all the rage for pedophiles.

You people need to get a life! Don't like it? Don't watch it. And quit being such nosey busy bodies!
If you don't like something,it should be banned! But if they wanna ban something you favor. Its FOUL!!!!
What say,everybody just leave everybody else alone.

bettern look to the demecrates for thge lack of education for us citezen but let a illegal and they get fucking harvard

so you keep believing in asshole obama

Yea please take deep breaths lol we don't need Belinda exploding! And you're right as far as pageants USED to be. It wasn't always like this. These parents have gone totally freaking berserk and they wonder why their kids act like little monsters….well duh!! It's horrible but like I said, I just want to see something happen. Mainly to see the show get taken off the air. It's not okay to let kids watch it much less for them to think it's okay to be treated like that by your parents.

I don't waist my precious time with these shows, sad that society has gotten to the point that they feel they are entertainment.

if they wanted to fake cigarettes they should be used as candy cigarettes

Yes, I agree!!!!

Yes, I agree!!!!

still gross!

Ok you can't blame the show for what a parent does. As for the parent who put the child on the stage with a real cig should be charged with neglect, providing tobacco to a minor, and sheer stupidity!

I can't say anything, you two SAID it all. ( And I totaly agree.

I think this show and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo should be taken off the air. These people make me sick! Absolutely! I don't think they should air this. To me, pageants should be little girls in princess dresses. This is wrong! Little girls shouldn't be dressed in skanky outfits, wearing implants, "pretend" smoking, or have the adult like attitudes that they have. This show makes me sick! I don't know who is worse, the parents that do this to their children, the people who judge, or the people that air it.

please she was trying to get publicity so maybe she can get her a honey boo boo child type of show! Sad I never have watched the show but I see so much of it in the news and here online….

It may be, her Mom said she's living her dreams thru her little girl. So sad.

to let all of you know that was not a real cig. although its a fake one I do not think that should have been taken that far I mean she could have just like used her hands and fingers imitating smoking. I have two small daughters and I told myself they would never be in something like that what about letting your babies stay babies kids today are growing up way to fast (STOPP THE MADNESS).

piece of cr@p mother making her four year old daughter into a sex object. she should be jailed. they ALL should be jailed!

while I am not particularly against smoking, even for those under 18, this is rediculous. the mom is living her dreams through her daughter, even forcing her to do something unhealthy. I've had problems with this show from the start, (i don't find it sexual, but I don't like how the mom is always forcing the girls to live like that. if the girls like it, fine, but from what I've seen, some of them don't look like they really want to be there.)

Take the show off the air and get them some counseling.

I really dislike that show and all that it stands for

Get it off the air.

I don't like the fact that moms do their dreams through their little girls! Let them be a child and do the things a child should do.;A lot of them push them into it!

I so agree with you Claudia,that poor little girls mother is a disgrace to parenthood!! I have to turn it after about 10 minutes of it..its just stupid.

I think the show is out of control. Too many inappropriate things on recently. Let the kids be kids, not living a life their mom's wish they had. Most of them when asked, don't enjoy it, they do it because their mom's want them to. ANd Ryan, in most states these days it is illegal to smoke under age 18, when you were in school it probably wasn't, it changed years ago.

Now this is horrible…this mom went way to far this time….let them babies be babies…

disgusting! Parents worry about all the sex offenders out in the word snatching children and then todo this is really horrble! people should not watch such trash!

Contributing to the delequncy of a minor is illegal

If you watch the show yourself, the mom explains it was a prop. It wasn't a real cigarette. The author of Christian Post or whatever didn't watch the show in its entirety. But it doesn't mean the mom is not an idiot. But she also knew what she was doing. She wants the publicity. Look at what it has done for all of the other controversial girls. And yes, I did watch the show. Guilty as charged.

I don't care if she's trying to be "true" to the character….you don't give a cigarette to a kid- and for a damn pageant! And isn't there a no-smoking rule in the facility anyway? Stupid woman.

It is a fantasy world that the mothers are living thru these babies- look at honey boo boo-fat ugly and inbred back woods hog

There is no way a level headed parent would put their child through this. I watched 5 minutes of the first episode and turned it off. The ONLY reason people watch this is to feel better about their own parenting. These mothers are the worst. Thanks to these mothers we have our future "Snookies". "Future Pole Dancers Assoc" should be the title.

That poor little girl would be better off in life without a mother at all. I'm seriously nauseated by this woman. What a disgrace to parenting and to humanity.

WTF really doesn't cover it. WHERE the hell was child protective services!

Candy cigarettes still exist if you look for them! It would have been kind of cute, and maybe… IDK… maybe an inch closer to appropriate for a 4 year old.

If the show is taken off the air, it will not stop these so called pageants from going on. Do these mothers know how much damage they are causing there daughters trying to make them grow up so fast. How many perverts tune in to watch this show.

I am ashamed to say that I have watched this show, not because I like it but just the oppisite. I am constantly blown away at the things the parents put those poor little girls through, just because of some weird childhood dream that they didn't get to live out so they are living vicariously through their daughters (sons). Everyone went ballistic at the mom who used the "boobs", absolutely tastless but not an endangerment to her daughter, but this is child endangerment! I personally would be so thrilled with this show being removed, it seems TLC continues to put shows that exploit little girls (Honey Boo Boo) which is unfortunately gives mom and dad exactly what they want. $$$$$$$$$$

I hate this show. It teaches girls that beauty comes through fake means – fake hair, fake teeth, fake tans, even fake boobs. These young girls are made up to look sexualized and unnatural. And putting a lit cigarette in her hands is the last straw in my book. It is illegal to give tobacco products to a minor and that is just what she did. She (and the whole show) is teaching other small girls that smoking is sexy and all right. A four year old has no way to know that smoking can cause terrible diseases and that even the people around them can get sick. This is, in my opinion, the worst show on tv.

I think this show should be taken off the air my goodness they are babies and they dress them up like hookers. Hell then y'all wonder why young children are being kidnapped and raped and Murdered Stop Dressing Them Up Like Hookers And Let Them Be Little Girls And Play With DOLLS Enough Said.

Thats way ther is a place called well-fare.Mother doesnt have know buzziness having children unleast they know how to raise them.Amen thats all for now.GOOD NIGHT ALL.

i agree with u Patty that show is gross and these beauty pageants should be banned in the U.S. and all over the world and i can not believe that TLC is lettin this kind of crap happen they make me sick

night Bonnie Lee Cook Sweet Dreams

it makes me sick too hell they are children and people wonder why we have sicko people out there trying to kill and rape and kidnap children these kids should be able to like like children and play with Dolls and all the good stuff like we all did when we was younger

yea there is and they just let it happen and the parents of these little girls are so gross for dressin them up like that and there might be a person in the crowd wantin to kidnap one of them and the parents care about is money and fame instead of there daughters safety

My god nw letting these babies smoke!! and you are right Patty just look at what happened to Jonbenett Ramsey and it is even WORSE NOW!!

I agree with you on that Michelle Olsen hell my Gran Daughter is 6 years old and she is my baby and she will play with dolls but never be in a Pageant

and i bet that ur granddaughter is a cute little angel and at that age they should play with dolls and have tea partys and not this gross stuff that they are doin and when i have a daughter she will not be in one at all believe me

and i bet that ur granddaughter is a cute little angel and at that age they should play with dolls and have tea partys and not this gross stuff that they are doin and when i have a daughter she will not be in one at all believe me

Some of these Moms get a little carried away!!!!!!

and i bet that ur granddaughter is a cute little angel and at that age they should play with dolls and have tea partys and not this gross stuff that they are doin and when i have a daughter she will not be in one at all believe me

at that age they should play with dolls and have tea partys and not this gross stuff that they are doin and when i have a daughter she will not be in one at all believe me

The show, produces, parents and the judges should be charged with child abuse for allowing this kind of stuff to happen to children. If a girl was to show up at school dressed the way they are, the make up and acted like the children on this show you bet cps would be called and child abuse charges would be charged on the parents, why allow this stuff to go on is beyond me. Take this show off the air and investigate the show , judges, and the parents for child abuse.

and TLC needs cancel this show

thats such a discrace for a mother to do this to a child!!!!

I agree with Michell

She is contributing to the delinquency of a minor just by giving her the cigarette, which IS illegal in any state.

thanks Earlene

That is disgusting. What is she thinking. No mother in her right mind should subject a little girl to cigarettes. Period. I smoked for 32 years. And regret the day I lit up just to make me feel sophisticated and more grown up. That show should e taen off the air

Dont watch any more.Did the first yr. and thats all.

Dont watch any more.Did the first yr. and thats all.

her mom is probably a overweight pig that this is the only way her dumb a$$ can feel beautiful.what a dumb $$$ moron.

STOP WATCHING!

I agree and disagree, the character she was imitating was Sandy from Grease. The show is crazy that parents would put the kids through what they do I think it does more harm with making the childrens put to much value in being prefect beautys and look down on others.

Llike smoking is the worst thing about this whole friggin thing. I would take a smoking child over a whore any day, where the hell did we go wrong? SHE IS A CHILD, she should be treated as such, not paraded around like she is a whore for sale. I can hear the comments now…."you are so narrow-minded, or hypocritical, I say horse crap. Parents get to decide how the early years of their children progress, and I think these parents FAIL! If you disagree, tough shit, I don't give a crap.

I agree. It is just CREEPY.

What are you thinking? What are you teaching your children? Mothers….. wake up, take heed, the image your children learning , and are sending to other children. " This s not" an image most moms want their children to see. It's NOT OK for children to dress as street trash, wear fake boobs, and be "smoking", etc. Clean up your acts MOMS! YES… THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR! MOMS….. grow up and be responsible for the kind of adult your child will grow into….. Do you want your child to be "these kinds of images" when they are grown?

well said Janie!

It is an absolute disgrace that these children are being "forced" to grow up before they need to. They are subjected to inappropriate situation and are not being given the chance to just be a kid. That is a gift they will never be able to get back…ever.

Whoever let her have this cigarette should be charged with everything out there…wish there was a charge for stupidity also…I don't watch this stupid stuff and this is why, just seen this on my facebook…………TrailerTrash Central!

Are you (CENSORED) kidding me? These parents should be in jail! Shows like this and that "Honey Boo Boo" or whatever they call it are total garbage!

Sad commentary on what our culture allows to take place under the guise of a pageant. Isn't that for girls 18 and older not a forum to prime a child to look and act like a poker.

Needs to be taken off TV!

Omg the mom should go to jail for that……

The Cigg was a stage prop…NOT a real one..and like she said there is somewhat of 'acting' that comes with pagents.. with that being said I think Destiny rocked it and love the fact that she played Sandy! Go Destiny!

Completely agree!

Stop child abuse of this kind! these mothers don't love their kids they love themselves!

This is disgusting.

the way i see it children shouldnt be taught to smoke even if it wasnt real!

these shows toddlers and tiaras has went to far for these moms to get their children to win and its not the childrens fault its the parents!!

I just dont see how it is any different than children acting. We watch movies with children doing way worse but they do great at the Box Office. The little girl enjoyed doing it. Her mother isnt prompting her to smoke cigarettes but is portraying her as Sandy off of Grease. BIG DIFFERENCE. She had a fake cigarette…any child can mock someone smoking they see out in public with a straw or anything at that point. Parent,grandparent,aunt,uncle and friend. Point is people are always going to complain about something, no matter what. That is the difference in people.

Just when I was looking for someone dumber then the tan mom in New Jersey,, HERE SHE IS! Who with any sense would permit a four year old to smoke a cigarette? In most states this would be considered child endangerment… Why hasn’t this woman been charged with a crime?

This is way too much. Cigarettes cause cancer. Child Welfare should be called!

yes this show should be canceled and in Indiana if your a minor caught smoking there is a 500$ fine.

This mother needs to be slapped across the face so hard her grandchildren will be born with a handprint on their cheek. I only catch glimpses of these shows while channel surfing, but these are some of the most horrible people I've ever seen. That "Honey Boo Boo" creature? That thing and its mother scare the living bejeebus outta me.

I can't believe a mother let her child do this wtf was she thinking oh I forgot the kids now don't know disapline so why would this matter.

Jessica Williams…exactly people don't want their kids to smoke yet they will lit one up right in front of them then tell them not to smoke..that's really smart on the parents part Don't millions of little boys play video games with guns and violence everyday all these cartoons are surrounded with bad influences like spongebob teaching kids that calling people stupid and fighting with your friends are funny…it is what it is… and you are right Jess I was brought up watching Grease and saw Sandy smoke and others..I remeber those FAKE candy Ciggs and they were NO big deal I ate them all the time..that didn't make my mother a bad mom I still KNEW the real thing wasn't a healthy thing to do and had no interest of smoking! I agree SOME of these parents go over board with what they do on the show but thats what reality shows do they blow it way out of porportion…if ya don't like the show or don't agree with the ways DONT watch it..there is tons of other shows to watch…

annnd people are watching which means they are making MONEY!!!

It is so sad to see these mothers exploiting their children…….it should be banned. If you want to see some real child stars look back in time….Shirley Temple, Margaret O'Brien Natalie Wood,….not to name the boys. It is not about the smoking…..but the morality of the whole situation.

I think cps should remove this child from that home

Wow!!! I could see if she had one of those fake cigarettes like we all had as kids…but a real one? come on!

That is so wrong! The mothers have serious problems and the little girls are the victims.

This picture disgusts me soooooooooo bad, I cant even say……

sick..

yes should be taking off the air.

IF the mother had used her BRAIN, she would have supplied a CANDY cigarette for the event — NOT a REAL one! Even one of those Electronic cigarettes would have been better than a REAL cigarette for a FOUR YEAR OLD!

You know it doesnt matter if she was smoking a real cigarette or fake one..its the fact that she is telling her that it is okay to smoke..if she is telling her its okay then when she gets a few years older she will probably be the kid that tells other kids..hey you have to try this!..thats whts wrong with parents..you got these parents that tell there kids..Oh its okay if you drink and smoke pot and cigs as long as your doin it in my house..that is bad parenting as well..thats why most of this world is getting worse every day..teens are dieng from drinking and driving or getting shot over drugs or there the ones doing the shooting..all im sayin is parents should be more involved with there kids to teach them right from wrong..and if they cant do so then they shouldnt be parents..another thing..parents are getting in trouble for disciplining there kids now and getn there kids taking away by spanking them..i can see if you are leaving marks but thats how i behaved when i was a kid and growing up..i never got in trouble at school or havnt smoked or drank or done anything..im very thankful for having parents that cared..and disciplined me when i needed it..i love my parents very much..now i have a 16 month old daughter and im going to be the same way to her..and hopefully what i said will open parents eyes and take care of there kids the way god wants us too..

Parents should totally be fine and arrested. Where's CPS when you need them? Oh yeah, only when you don't need them. I forgot.

no it's not cute what so ever.. but it was a filter with the paper.. the mother was still in the wrong… shame on her.

The cigarette was a fake prop. In very bad taste – poor judgement by that family. It was not criminal any more than most of the outrageous things they do to those kids.

Wrong wrong wrong. It's illegal for any one under the age of 18 to smoke. What makes it ok for this 4 yr old to do it? This is setting a bad example for all people not just kids … The mother should be fined, just like any other person would be.

how are things

You have got to be kidding me……….. This show needs to be STOPPED NOW! after first I was weirded out seeing babies up to young teens wearing layers and layers of make up in next to no clothing… now.. you got some wretched woman TELLING HER 4 YEAR OLD TO SMOKE! Get this show off the air NOW! how terrible…

OMG, I went to the site and started to read, and got pissed at some Naomi chick that says all smokers use foul language. Had to leave there

First off, why hasn't CPS been called, that's endangering the health of a child.
Second of all for those of you ranting about the legalities of smoking and the differences from state to state, SHAME ON YOU! This matter at hand is a very young child who's mother tells her to smoke it… WHERE IS CPS IN THIS MATTER, obviously no where to be found.

Honey Boo Boo's magic "go go juice" was Redbull and Mountain Dew. SMH

That's terrible

while this is a bad thing, I am watching Oliver! the movie with my daughter, and I can't help but notice that one of the YOUNG BOYS is smoking a pipe. and there isn't just smoke coming from the pipe, he is drawing it into his mouth then blowing it out. I would think that's worse then one that isn't even lite. in new orleans at mardi gras, kids can buy fake cigarettes that contain a vary fine powder, and when they blow, it looks like smoke. I remember during exams a teacher pulled one out and pretended to smoke it when the principal walked in to check the class. she also gave one to a student. man the principal looked like she was going to faint. priceless. I still discorage the mothers actions. pageants should be about the childs unique beauty. my daughter, once old enough will only be allowed in pageants that demand natural beauty. she has plenty on her own and doesn't need "costumes".

and my daughter knows so well already that smoke is yucky and bad that, recently we had to go to the hospital because of a croup attack that scared me, she could hardly breath. they put a mask on her which she was fine with. but when they turned it one and smoke started coming out she ripped the mask from here face and said, "mommy, smoke is yucky, i can't breathe it. its bad" while i knew she had to i laughed that she took what i had told her SO well. i had to clarify that this smoke was a good smoke, and only ok when a doctor says so. doctor was kinda proud that she wanted nothing to do with smoking.

I just saw this. This makes me sick. Poor kid!

Pageants are not necessarily a bad thing. They can help improve a child's self esteem and give her a sense of accomplishmen. There is a lot of work that goes into performing in a pageant. Toddlers and tiaras admittedly finds the most outrageous pageant moms and contestants. This isn't the norm in most pageants. The cigarette the child in question used was not real. It was still damaging to the child. I think the mother should be charged. Yes, there are laws against minors possessing or using tobacco. My brother was charged with it. I was fined for my little cousin smoking near me. It is absolutely against the law.

child abuse!
