A St. Catharines high school student who was shocked at seeing gyrating little girls in a child beauty pageant show is leading an online campaign to get the program off the air.
Karrin Huynh, 17, said she was appalled by a commercial promoting the show Toddlers and Tiaras before the series began airing on The Learning Channel last Wednesday. Huynh watched it to see if it was at least critical of the child pageant world, but it wasn't, she said.
"I was completely disgusted. Just the way they seem to be sexualizing the toddlers ... The way they gyrate their hips, the way they open their mouths, the way they pucker their lips at the cameras, the judges.
