Look Mom, my teeth come out...

I try not to follow the pop culture neighborhood crime events, you know like the ten year old case of JonBenet. As horrific as the death of a child is, and as horrific as the attack of the media against a family, I yet find some contempt for the parents. This makes Carbo-blog first to talk about a current event that does not have any relevance to my life, but this topic seems to have struck a chord with me. When one hears of a child having her teeth removed to have dentures installed to give her a perfect smile so she can be a runway model, this is only proof that we are prosecuting the wrong people. Now, I do not know if JonBenet had this surgery performed to enhance her smile, but if not she was not far from it. The accused murderer was into child pornography. He was a teacher. Lord knows, he probably was a Miss TinyWiny judge. At what point might one think that the parents only enticed the accuser by dressing her like an adult, parading her around town like a Macy's Day balloon. I think a child should be a child and a parent is to protect, guide and assure safety. I think JonBenet's parents had stronger motives that indirectly dealt the worst blow a parent could receive....If we can not have chicken fights, where a chicken gets attacked, why on earth do we have children's pageants where the child will never recover from the rejection, criticism and even worse attacks.
