<p>Should enrolling a small child in those glitzy beauty pageants be reason for a parent to lose custody?</p>

<p>Yes, she IS sexualizing and exploiting her D. Calling the ex a “felon” because he has a DUI is ridiculous, IMHO. Should she lose custody? Probably it would inflict too much damage on the child. But if I were the ex, I would try to pressure her into stopping this disgusting pageant thing.</p>

<p>The moral of the story is think long and hard before you have children with someone. Is this someone you really want to be the parent of your child? And if you want to be in your child’s life and have control over how s/he is raised, don’t get divorced. Or at least get joint custody.</p>
