they got exactly what they asked for. they paraded pictures & video of a sexualized JonBenet, out for the world to see, & then wondered why people judged them.
my point exactly. she was 6 years old. bleached blond hair with black roots, adult hairstyles, red lipstick, tons of make-up, showgirl clothes...not appropriate for a 6 year old, & if people can't see that for what it is, oh well... & yes, they got what they asked for, from the media. THEY, the Ramseys, put that image of JonBenet out there, & most people called them on its inappropriateness. In the beginning, because of the pageants, clothes, make-up, etc...there was a pretty wide-spread belief, that a pervert had targeted JonBenet, because of those very things, & the Ramseys were left to defend & explain their child rearing decisions. & they didn't do a very convincing job of it.She was six years old. How did they sexualize her? They got what they deserved?

No chance the R's had an innocent, harmless take on beauty pageants?
How about taking one's children, eight years old and younger, to the beach/pool/shore wearing bikini bathing suits? Perfectly acceptable?
SuperDave;5295364]No, I don't think so. And it all centers around Nedra.
Come on, Fang. That's light-years apart from child beauty pageants. Everyone knows that.
Nedra's to blame for Joni's pornographic escapades?
Did Joni wear any beauty pageant clothing as revealing as a bikini?
What does everyone know? Light years apart? What are you talking about?
Did the R's willingly, knowingly submit their daughter to engage in *advertiser censored* through the influence of Nedra?
Why shouldn't people, adults, be locked up for this?
That's an order! or, won't that be wonderful?SuperDave; In a sense. She gave Patsy no choice in the matter of JB going into pageants. "JonBenet will do those pageants," she said.
That doesn't matter, Fang. It's the goal.
I'm talking that everyone knows there's a big difference between a kid wearing a bathing suit for a day of fun
She was a baby!and being put in the kind of outfits generally associated with Las Vegas showgirls
specifically for the purpose of performing for ADULT judges
Kids in bikinis swim like adults.using ADULT moves,
Who says? The men and women who judge these shows are dirty old so and sos?usually to fulfill another adult's dusty dreams.
She was six years old! fully clothed! What are you talking about? How do show girls' dance?She was dancing like a Las Vegas showgirl
SD, I am not, have not and will not put words in your mouth. If I rearrange your words to express what I think you're saying, that doesn't mean I am putting words in your mouth. Don't put words in my mouth, either!Don't go putting words in my mouth, Fang.
I think the question of the media coverage they got is irrelevant, myself. It's not the media who decides whether or not to pursue a case.
That's an order! or, won't that be wonderful?
She enjoyed the pageants.
She was a baby!
Bikinis are associated with Puritan modesty?
You mean like grown-ups who supervise their kids' behavior at the beach?
You mean provocatively? Like what?
Who says? The men and women who judge these shows are dirty old so and sos?
She was six years old! fully clothed! What are you talking about? How do show girls' dance?
Six years old, judged before adults, you mean like kindergartners? How can a six year old baby act pornographically?
SD, I am not, have not and will not put words in your mouth. If I rearrange your words to express what I think you're saying, that doesn't mean I am putting words in your mouth. Don't put words in my mouth, either!
Your point being that their impetus may not have been healthy? What the hell does that mean? Who are you to judge?
It may have been perfectly healthy.
And when someone says, you know I really don't think they were the most evil monsters of all time, you get this. Don't put words in my mouth, or I never said they were lousy people or parents, I never said they weren't full of love and devotion for their children, I never said Patsy wasn't a generous, caring person, I never said J didn't spend time with his kids, I never said P was a pure *****.
The media does to. The media sets the agenda like a dinner table. Oh sure, not literally. But, they bring so much pressure to bear on authority figures, they might as well.
