How dare she yell shit during the special needs girl's moment. That is just pure evil.
Or during anyone's time. Way to ruin it for everyone
She should’ve been kicked out and disqualified.
it's "beauty" pageants... it's the definition of paedophile and child predator haven and psycho-acting karen moms...
Yeah, she obviously has no decent or respect. She'd flip if someone yelled during her daughter's turn. What a B.
My jaw literally dropped when she said, "if she's truly special needs she probably shouldn't be at a regular kids pagent." Just wow...
I thought then "what a b*tch!" 😐
Right.... like they're kids.... they just want to have fun. The way we all process things is different from everyone else, just cuz a kid needs help w something doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. No one is "regular" or "normal"
@@novasgalaxy3652 honestly nothing is normal haha
Yeah, special needs ≠ not normal
Problem is, people with special needs hear this shit all the time. It’s unfortunately normal in our sphere (speaking as an autistic adult, formally an autistic child).
As someone who is autistic, and was extremely nonverbal as a child, I'm used to parents doing the whole "they shouldn't be here doing things with the 'normal' kids" line. I would get bullied and harassed by both students and parents from things like cheerleading. I didn't want to wear a skirt, so we asked for me to wear pants. The amount of parents losing their shit *OVER A 10 YEAR OLD NOT WANTING TO WEAR A SKIRT* , just to further isolate an already lonely kid was disgusting.
Data love
I'm so sorry you went through that, I really pray most people are more educated and empathetic now
I think kids should be able to choose if they want to wear a skirt or not in general, with all school uniforms. It's so dumb how upset people can get over such such a small thing. Sorry you had to go through that.
It's insane how cruel grown people can be to kids, special needs or not. Hope that you found your strength and are happy or content in life now. People who treat others like that are not worth even knowing.
That's terrible 😔
As someone who has ASD (formerly diagnosed Asperger’s), it was 100% the parents like that mom who made my life a living hell while growing up. Every time in school, when eventually they’d find out from their kids that I’d have a slightly modified test or was allowed not to participate in certain gym activities (I have a really hard time doing crossed brain activities. I couldn’t even tie my shoes decently until I was 24, and even still I have trouble to this day!) they would flip their lids, exactly like in the video. Even after they found out why I’d been receiving “special treatment” they would either get defensive saying things like “All kids are special!/If she’s so handicapped, why isn’t she in a special Ed class or school?!” like this mom did or just completely stuck with the “that’s not a real thing!/If she’s autistic then everyone’s autistic!” Notion. Always, always, ALWAYS after this would happen, a good majority of their kids would start bullying me/avoid and bad mouth me at school. I had to quit public school and become homeschooled because of mom’s like her, so I hope her daughter grows up to be far more intelligent and far more successful than her pitiful mother ever has or will be :/ !
That's horrible.. I hope you're in a happy place right now and don't let those bullies get you down..
I am sorry you went through that! I also hope you are doing much better. I had learning difficulties in school and was on an IEP (individual education plan) so I could take my tests in a different room where it was quiter but luckily no one made fun of me for that. I once heard a qood quote about "what fair means" and what it really means isn't everyone getting the same thing, it means them getting what they need. For each person that's different. Some people don't get that (like that loudmouth mom in the video yelling about the poor child needing visual cues on stage)
That's how it goes but I'm doing better than the people who were mean to me.
that is so horrifying, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. That argument of "well why aren't they in a *special school*?" is so so gross to me, it makes me feel physically ill. Basically they're saying I don't want to have to look at or engage with you, person who has different life experiments and needs, you're not 'normal' and that makes me uncomfortable. That's like saying a wheelchair user shouldn't be allowed in buildings with stairs. And the thing is, integrating children with a different range of needs and backgrounds is SO important to encourage empathy and openness early on. Of course some children need to be in separate schools that can really help them thrive but so many people of different needs and abilities can be brought together by tiny changes in policies or environments to make them accessible. I grew up in Ireland and went to primary (elementary) school with a guy who had ASD, which really impacted his engagement with a lot of stuff, so everyone learned very quickly what best suited his needs. We were 5, 6 years old? Nobody ever complained about him getting 'special treatment.' He had different needs, and different is fine. I went to high school with a guy who was colourblind, but that rare kind where you only see in black and white and your vision doesn't go beyond maybe a few feet or so ahead. So he was partially sighted and colourblind basically, he needed the kind of additional aids that a legally blind person would have. There was certainly bullying in my school, but he was never singled out for his sight. He wasn't treated like a child either, he was just another guy who needed a few extra things to account for his eyesight. Kids will adapt so easily to other people's experiences if you give them a chance, it makes me so mad when exclusionary nonsense like that is encouraged by parents and inevitably adopted by their kids. We ALL lose out on richer experiences when we keep people apart and limit the scope of our understanding.
My brother has the same thing. He was nonverbal til 2nd grade and was a biter. In first grade he was in regular classes and after a couple of days he bit a teacher during a bad “hype out” as we used to call it. After that there was alot of “why is this kid still here?” He did end up going to a “Special Needs school” that helped him alot. But I realised soon after that, at least in NJ, there aren’t many schools like that. So what I used to say (started saying this in high school) whenever someone said that was “ok, great, so your tax dollars will be used for that?” That usually shut them up quick 😂
"I didn't know she was disabled"
So its fine to yell at kids if they aren't disabled? For someone who's a stickler for the rules, basic sportsmanship sees foreign to her
Yes 😅
Nah I'm kidding.
Well...
Nah... Nah...
Maybeeee.
No no, for real this time 💀
the only “beauty” competition i’ve ever seen and enjoyed is the one at my local fair. anybody of any age can join and wear whatever they want, and show whatever talent they want and it such actual wholesome fun. last year a grandpa/granddaughter duo won with their duet of somewhere over the rainbow dressed as the lion and dorothy :)
That makes my heart so happy 🥺
(also hello fellow Kelsey!)
that sounds so wholesome and fun
that sounds like a lovely time! :D
That's called a "talent show". It's like a beauty competition at all. I lived in a small town called Wayland, Michigan and we did talent shows during our town Fair too!
That sounds more like a talent show than a beauty pageant.
as a disabled person hearing that mom say the blue dress girl shouldn't be in a competition with "regular" kids is BEYOND offensive. i don't understand how a competition that's supposed to be fun turned into such a negative & toxic environment for everyone involved. the poor kids. :(
I couldn't believe that mom said "Why is the special needs child's here at a regular kids event."
It's beyond insulting.
They're kids. Other than age, there's no real criteria to separate them in an event, especially one like this.
Seriously, and now that little girl, who had the confidence to go out on stage like that, is going to have her moment forever ruined by some barrel-shaped Karen YELLING in the middle of her turn. On TOP of the the fact she shouldn't be in a competition with "regular" kids.
Agreed
I think it’d be interesting to see a “where are they now” video on this mom. Curious if she grew up a little mentally and realized this behavior is ridiculous.
@@girrlove12321 💯💯💯
“…then she shouldn’t be here with regular kids”
Jesus Christ. Now definitely want to fight her.
The ableism she spewed was just…yikes man.
Holy shit, mAybe she shouldn't? If a r-tard can't compete, it shouldn't whine when it loses.
Yeah I wanted to jump through the TV when she said that. Gross
@@Eyesofwrathvox same
@NNazmi Ummm how is that funny? I wasn’t making a joke.
8:27 this kind of thing actually happens. my uncle knows a guy that’s a reporter/photographer for a local newspaper, and he was once covering a pageant for little girls in the area. He was taking photos, and had a press pass. He started talking to the several other men in the back taking photos, assuming they were parents. They said they weren’t, and they also didn’t have press passes. He started looking into it and there have been strange men taking photos that were not related to the contestants or any form of press at EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. You can’t tell me the people that run these pageants don’t know they’re there. It’s so scary.
After hearing that, then I definitely decided there’s no way I’d ever enroll my daughter into this kind of pageants even when she is naturally outgoing and enjoys to sing & dance.
Throwing out the insult "White Trash" at a toddler beauty pageant feels like calling someone a weeb at an anime convention.
You have a point.
Shots fired
Damn 😂😂
LMAO
i appreciate when parents of neuro-divergent kids actually care about what their kid is into/like & support them. like if that girl likes dressing up & twirling on stage go for it! lots of us get told not to express ourselves so it just makes me smile
It was a dick move for that mom to shout and put her off. She could have asked afterwards about the coaching being allowed because of her special needs, why do these people always involve poor kids in their bitchiness
Yeah, that's how I felt, too. Like they're trying to give their daughter something she wants and it's being quashed by beefy Becky the Karen that's using her 10 year old to start a vicarious life for herself to live through since she chose the chugging tubs of icing life.
We need more pagents that are just kids expressing themselves honestly. I don't even understand the point otherwise.
@@salemcrow5078 what's the point in just "go on stage and do whatever you want?" Then how would you judge them? What would be the criteria to win? Or would everyone win, which is the same as no one winning? Seems pretty pointless. If you want to have a talent showcase then do that. Don't pretend it's a competition.
yeah! and not dragging her along w her sister without given her the opportunity to compete as well
I did ballroom dancing competitions as a kid because I wanted to, and the minute I told my mum I didn’t want to do it anymore she stopped taking me because it was never about her or her ego. Seems like some of these girls don’t have a parent advocating for them, so sad.
Good parenting right there. Bless us who had good parents. The older I get the more I recognize how important my parents are to me
Yup, treat their kids like objects more than people
Yeah sadly most of the time it is just about the mums. The pressure they put the kids under is disgusting, they should feel ashamed.
Glad you had a good mum.
Ballroom dancing is an actual competition, not a "judge this child on how attractive they are"
Same with me and figure skating. My mum enjoyed getting me nice skating dresses and doing my hair and makeup because I liked it and as soon as I wanted to stop, I did.
"She's kinda special needs, this is to help build her confidence. She isn't really here to compete"
Honestly, I would have /never/ expected any wholesomeness from a pageant related thing at all. Not even in words.
Always thought they were a little weird with how some people take them so seriously or some people are creepy about it, but this lady is like. "I think it'll help her and she seems to be having fun"
That was so unexpectedly wholesome and then it went downhill so fast. That place seems so toxic
@@EllawoodBlues that's the entire atmosphere unfortunately.
seriously!
@@arcanesunku also the paedos and child predators and psycho-acting karen moms... but yess
In regards to rice being the girls fave food, idk what special needs she has, but if it's Autism, (as someone who has been diagnosed with autism since 11) sometimes people with autism just tend to really like and prefer plain food and don't like things with too much flavour (my doctor informed my mom of this when I was diagnosed since my mom asked her if my autism had anything to do with my fixation on plain foods, and with meeting more people who are also autistic throughout my life, I've realized it's very true). When I was a kid about her age, plain white rice was also my fave food as well as plain pasta ☺️
Indeed, autism can present with heavy fixations as well as overstimulation. Heavy seasoning can certainly wind up being too stimulating. Either of these "symptoms" (sounds like the wrong word to me, hence the quotes) can lead to such fixations and it is possible that a person experiences both.
Very true! I was diagnosed at 3 with ASD, and am still to this day a huge fan of "plain foods" like cereals and unseasoned food 🌿
@@ginko1921 same with still liking plain stuff to this day! I'm 20 now and my fave food evolved from plain rice to crab sushi. One of the most plain and simple sushis and I never like to put any seasoning or anything with my sushi. Part of it too is I also won't eat stuff with certain textures like I hate the texture of avocado for example
@космический кадет I just got the notif for this comment and it's 3am here and I'm currently treating myself to some plain white rice LMAO
@космический кадет my brother is autistic, and he’s very sensitive to Menthol and capsaicin. To the point where he doesn’t like a lot of black pepper, hates pepper Jack, doesn’t really like Buffalo sauce and has unflavored toothpaste so it doesn’t burn.
His favorite condiment is mayonnaise, he puts it on every meat he has, dips chips in it, puts globs on sandwiches. So. Much. Mayonnaise.
"With her ginger child” said with such hostility she was probably the cheerleader in school who bullied everyone else and probably enables her kid to bully.
Brings back memories of being bullied in high school because of my hair colour.
Also she was incredibly lucky that no one ACTUALLY hit her after the comment about the special needs child
Maybe she got jumped outside
yess, sorry about them, and your hair is badass (:
like I'm a ginger and used to dance because my mom wanted me to, and it really hurt my self esteem. who cares if she's ginger, and using it like a slur is an awful thing to Do. it's like skin color, the girl has no control over it. I hated my hair growing up but I own that shit now
@@thecosmicdisorder5906 Same! I dyed it at one point to get people to leave me alone. But now I own it. I also have two kids who both are redheads so I'll be teaching them to rock their colour as they get older
Redheads are the hottest to me, never understood the hate
"if she's special needs she probably shouldn't be at a regular kids pagent" They are literal CHILDREN. That woman is just... eugh. Some people shouldn't be parents.
“Don’t play the special needs card, every kid is special” Are you honestly joking 😃
She is so unintelligent it's sad
What get me is that the kid didn’t even get special treatment, they got a point penalty for off stage coaching! Anyone could of done the same thing and would of received the same penalty, special needs or not!!!
i couldn't believe my ears when those words left her mouth 🙂
Her saying that makes me think she's one of the people claiming all lives matter when someone says BLM.
At least one parent there that is special needs. Needs a special need to the throat....
We let my daughter do ONE pageant. She wanted to do it around age 5-6. These children’s pageants always look a little busted, however you have to have headshots and the whole 9 yards for these just like an adult pageant. Only difference is, the drama is about 500 times worse. You add in all these insecure parents that are trying to validate themselves or their kids and it gets really gross, really fast!
My daughter did dance competitions when she was 5-12/13. Her mother was very involved and I basically just went to the competitions. The stuff I would see from the other parents was insane. I thought Little League was bad, but holy crap it was unreal. Not as bad as a beauty pageant, but the insecure narcissistic nut balls living vicariously through their kids are very present.. it's one of the reasons my daughter stopped doing it because it got too catty and dramatic. She just wanted to have fun
@@Eyesofwrathvox aww it reminds me of my elementary school years. I went to a lot of dance competitions as a child but i was acompanied by my father while the others had their moms, so we were the outcast even when i compete in teams. Their moms were so involved in like fixing their makeup and outfit, talking to the coaches, etc, while my father was just there being a father. I remember how my team wouldn't take pictures with me, made me feel bad, left me out while they warm up. But luckily my father was always so supportive of me without belittling the other kids or talk bad about their parents.
how is that legal nowadays?
@@uyagraph that's a great memory to have with your father! Unfortunately with my daughter's competitions, I was only able to see her before and after the performance. I mean it's good for the team so they can be focused on what they're doing just like any other team competition or sport, but there were times where I couldn't get out of work and would have to leave early so I wouldn't be able to congratulate her until later. Stuff like that. But of course when I didn't have to go to work and all was well, we had a great time after she was done. Luckily her mom was level-headed and definitely wasn't those dance moms or whatever you want to call them lol. So I was thankful for that. But like you said about not talking crap about the other parents, we were the same way. We wanted to make it as positive as possible for her. The coolest thing was that she was able to compete in Nationals down in Disney world when she was like 9 or 10 years old. Something she'll never forget!
@@uyagraph Your dad sounds awesome
That line, special needs children shouldn't be allowed to do activities with "normal" children, really pissed me off! As a mum to two girls on the spectrum, they always feel somewhat different and to segregate children based on a disability, is totally disgusting. Also, I absolutely hate child beauty pageants, they dress them up to look like adults and imo they are just sexualising children. Just let kids be kids and have fun, all that pressure to be "perfect" will lead to issues later on in life.
That argument of "well why aren't they in a *special school*?" is so so gross to me, it makes me feel physically ill.

@@RealElongatedMuskrat your name made me chuckle! 🤣 I completely agree. I cannot stand the segregation and total ignorance. We all have different problems but all of of us deserve love, acceptance, support, growth, opportunity, encouragement, respect...ect I just cannot wrap my head around a full grown woman that has kids, berating a lil one on the spectrum.I just feel like that b*tch needs a learn some lessons.
I am totally rooting for the mom with the special needs girl! As someone who is neurodivergent and a sister to three neurodivergent people, the support this mom is giving is beyond amazing! I hope this little girl does not stop doing pageants if that is something she loves and doesn’t let any of the other moms and kids get her down. My mom was very supportive of all four of us and she was NEVER as feisty or vocal as this mom was in this video, which is something that we need more of in this world
That woman in the pink pisses me off so bad. Saying that the little girl shouldn't be at a "regular kids'" pageant is so ignorant.
Meanwhile the whole thing is child abuse and prostitution, so I agree she shouldn’t be there, she deserves better, all the children do
@nnazmi okay? Who cares it's a kids pagent.
@NNazmi kids with disabilities don't need sympathy. They just need to be included.
@@ravenchain85 THANK YOU
The amount of times adults would talk like this about my disability saying "she shouldn't be around normal kids" instilled some really shitty self hatred that I didn't need as a kid. I'm not a fan of pageants but if the kid wants to do it. then let them give the neurodivergent kid accommodations isn't cheating. Then again the parent of the sped kid didn't have her ego tied to her child winning some mean nothing pageant being held at the local la quinta inn
I feel so bad for the little blue-dressed girl just there to have fun. Imagine some random ass woman screaming in the middle of your turn when you're only there to dance around in a dress for your mom.
It’s child abuse and prostitution and it’s never fun for them unless they’re brainwashed/they’ve got Stockholm syndrome. These things are child abuse and prostitution and just toxic
@@Cassxowary the mother genuinely seemed like she wanted her girl to have fun and not to win. There are many abused children there, that little special needs girl is not one of them. I hate child pageants too, man, but not every single instance can be classified as abuse.
I kinda hope the kid is the kind of person that didn't really register what that idiot just yelled when she's on-stage because she was too focused on completing her stage performance. Just let this one nasty woman slip trough the cracks
@@TrashbashMan i hope so too
STOOOP "dance around in a dress for your mom." THIS MAKES ME SO SAD BUT SO SOFT? like they're really there to just have fun, and they were!! :(
My mom tried having me become a pageant child. She was one when she was young and wanted me to continue it. I was all for it, thinking I'd get to spend some more time with my mom and bond over it, until she started getting furious that I didn't want to dance or look a particular way. So happy that I got out of it. These poor kids.
I did this too. To a point id get pinches everyday for my failures (not smiling wide enough, for example). It was pinches so that the marks would recover. I cried almost everyday. And they were surprised i didnt want to continue lol...
@@havenprice Hopefully you’re now an adult and have Adult Agency.
And this is one of about a million “reasons” we completely terminate the relationship with these abusive parents when we become adults. Nothing was good enough for them then and I can absolutely assure you, nothing will be good for them when you are an adult. *EVER.*
My mom was the same type. Kind and encouraging on the surface, a raging controlling beast underneath. I avoided any pageant/model/entertainment as a kid because I knew I’d wind up like the struggling Disney kids being exploited and run over by her ego.
omg i lost it at the "if she is special needs than she shouldnt be in a regular kids pageant". as an adult with Autism i grew up being told i shouldnt be in the normal things. I just wanted to be treated like a human. alot of things dont offend me but that right there boiled my blood

For the little girl with some special needs: I thought it was common knowlige that, when it comes to kids sports, children with physical or mental handicaps are often allowed extra “help” if that means they can compete within their own age-class.
I mean, if an equestrian tween who are for example paralyzed in their legs competes in the regular pony classes, it is completely normal that they get to use their voice to call out commands and make use of an extra long “whip” in order to communicate with their horse properly, despite it otherwise being against the rules/frowned upon.
And if you see an issue with it, you dont yell it at the kid while they are in the arena. You ask to speak with one of the judges.
What is wrong with people!?
This is really sick that they do this to children and then be surprised when they act out of control but anyways love you Ken and Buff

PAGEANT KID HERE!! I’m 20 now but did these things when I was 1-10 years old, I know HALF of the mothers in this episode alone. I didn’t hate the pageant, but I hated how awful to makeup process was. Grown men spray tanning little girls is not a good look, especially when the mothers are paying the guys to do it. Or at the very least ruining a hotel shower spray tanning children themselves
You literally can't describe this any other way than child abuse. From the complete nut job parents trying to live through their kids, to the judges (I suspect they're mostly paedophiles) everything about this screams of child abuse.
100% agree with you
Eh I’d say except for the mom of the little girl with the blue dress because her daughter actually seemed like she was enjoying herself and the way her mom said she wasn’t doing this to compete more for gaining her own confidence. That’s honestly a good way to gain confidence of it wasn’t for the other moms being all bitchy about it.
Don’t mess with special needs moms-they know how to fight. After a lifetime of advocating for their kid. I should know because my mama was one! It’s not easy! ACCOMMODATIONS ARE NOT CHEATING

I was SO pissed when that lady was like “she shouldn’t be in a ‘regular’ kids pageant”. How about we stop treating neuro-divergent people (being one myself) like they aren’t just as capable as others? Just because someone’s special needs doesn’t mean they have to be segregated.

Kids will adapt so easily to other people's experiences if you give them a chance, it makes me so mad when exclusionary nonsense like that is encouraged by parents and inevitably adopted by their kids. We ALL lose out on richer experiences when we keep people apart and limit the scope of our understanding.
Every single person sitting in a child pageant should be investigated and possible put on a watch list
Prove which child they are with.
@@lizanna6390 came here 2 years later to say this? you look like the type to be at a child pageant
@@girl-di3nn I'm in Britain. If we have pagents like this I've never come across one. There's no reason to be their unless you're press or there with a contestant. If they just rocking up to watch and don't know any of the contestants that's a major red flag and I agree should be investigated.
@@lizanna6390 ah thats what you meant my bad sorry. For a moment I thought you were defending them
I feel for these kids-the parents are just living vicariously through them because they are desperate for attention-it’s never about the kids. Kids shouldn’t even be in pageants-they should be playing outside and having fun.
God bless Johnny Knoxville for what he did in Bad Grandpa. Basically mocking and shaming all those creepy ass parents.
And god bless the boy who played his grandson, his pageant act was the best I've ever seen! 🤣
I love Johnny for how outspoken he is 😂
Sweet cherry pie
probably one of my favorite of his newer stunts lmao that was so great
I always just think of Little Miss Sunshine
For the one putting her daughter in just for her confidence is a good parent. At least she is doing it for a good reason
Not really, the kids at that age doesn't consume "beauty shows" ..if you don't introduce them to those things they live their life pretty chill coloring and playing with friends.
@@LiannaBM usually yes but if she is special needs then she could truly benefit from socializing in a capacity like this
I have seen this whole episode and both of those moms are crazy rude/mean. The one with the special needs daughter was the instigator at the beginning and just as bad as the other lady
It’s confidence-boosting to try to be the prettiest? It’s called affirmations, helping others, etc
It might be for a good reason, but I don't think it's a good thing, for any kid, let alone one with special needs, I've seen a few of these pageant videos and its always a toxic environment, hell, I'm an adult and I wouldn't want to be in that atmosphere.
I'm autistic and got yelled at for being autistic in public today and I was crying because watching that woman be the giant c word reminded me of constantly being shunned and then buff be like "her daughter up there like yo I've been doing this for 4 years and I'm 6" made me legit lmao
"Gangster Man!" I don't know why this in particular sent me over the moon. Buff has a way to just make everything sound funny. 😂
Funny thing is, a stutter is a language impairment that can severely impact a childs ability to communicate and does require different accommodations than whatever was up with little blue dress girl. Thats the thing with disabilities, it's a spectrum of hundreds of different disorders with different accommodations, symptoms, and behaviors. Someone who has a stutter won't need the same help and accommodations as someone who is, perhaps, autistic. I'M diabetic, I'm technically disabled, but my symptoms and needed accommodations are no where near similar to someone who has a stutter or someone who is autistic.
Advocate for children with disabilities. They deserve better than to have their confidence and moment destroyed by some barrel-shaped Karen.
Barrel shaped Karen XD
And you make a great point.
While you’re absolutely right, she doesn’t have to speak on stage when she’s walking whereas the other little girl might have trouble with body movement and what she’s supposed to do so her argument in this case wasn’t really relevant.
@@alysondsings That was kinda their whole point...
@@xDarkTrinityx I know. I was adding to it lol
I really do hate how these parents objectify their children, let adults judge children on appearance, and flat out emotionally abuse them when they don't want to do the pageants. Child pageants need to be banned.
Too bad the pedophile child pageant boards will REEEEE and spend millions lobbying local governments to and paying lawyers to make sure that doesn't happen. All while being protected by an army of raging Karens that need to feel validated by abusing their children and exposing them to predators.
The issue isn't child pageants themselves; children should absolutely be allowed to express themselves if they want to! The issue lies in the parents and adults involved. If we heighten our standards for the parents who go (i.e. kicking out ANY parent that shows catty or abusive behavior), as well as ban child corsets/makeup, then child pageants would be much healthier and friendly to the kids.
Just think about that one mom who let her child go to the pageant just to have fun. She clearly wasn't in it for herself. She just wanted her daughter to twirl around and have a blast. That mom who yelled during the kid's performance? She should've been removed the moment she tried to start shit about the birth certificate.
I’m pretty sure they’ve been banned in France
The fake teeth are called "flippers." I used to watch this show for the sole purpose of feeling like a superior parent and human being for the mere fact that I never would have pranced my child around like a glamorized pony.
I figured out the back drop on the GEMSTARS stage. It's like a riddle.
The hero G stands for protective dads not wanting their little girls being subjected to this nonsense.
Guy in jail stands for predators that can easily bypass into these pageants creeping on the girls auditions.
Army figure represents authority.
And the witch from sleeping beauty Maleficent, is obviously the witch AS$ mom's making their daughters do this.
ME BIG BRAINS! 🤣🤓
My mom took me to a beauty pageant when I was 5(I wore a cute ankle-length dress, had my hair rolled up, and had a little bit of lip gloss on), cause she thought it would be a fun experience for me. I tried to make friends with the other girls, but they wouldn't even make eye contact with me. Many of them were crying and being yelled at by their moms. I asked my mom why were their mom's yelling at them, but she just shushed me, not answering my question. She knew what was going on and she hated every second of it. When the judging was done, we left, got McDonalds, and I never attended one again.
So glad you didn't see the one with the one-year old. You would've been BEYOND furious, Ken. They literally put mascara on her, put a heavy fake bun on her already heavy head, pump her full of chocolate, mountain dew, and an energy drink so she stays awake, and once her head had been bumped really hard, all they cared about was the beauty score. Oh, and they also scared her with some dude in a wolf costume when she did her red-riding hood outfit. It's clearly abuse and it was hard to watch.
Yep. The most narcissistic thing is to make your child dress up like an adult and prance around to be stared at by adults and judged for "beauty". It's disgusting and I can imagine the self esteem issues it creates
God that other mom's bear claws came out, good on her! Even if she is a bit of a karen, she has every right to want that lady kicked out after literally shouting at her for trying to let her daughter feel like the other girls
I was in...a couple of pageants as a child, I think? I only really remember one. I'm so, SO grateful that my mom was actually supportive and not at all like these moms. The moment it seemed like I wasn't enjoying it, she said "okay, no more". And later, when I was scouted to be a child model, same thing: I clearly wasn't comfortable once we got to the place for an interview, and once we left she asked me if it was something I wanted. I said no. End of story.
And *even then*, I have a hard time not connecting my current issues with social anxiety to those moments. There was a lot more going on mentally than just the pageant stuff, but sobbing because I was scared to go on stage sits with me to this day. It's a very vivid memory. I can't even imagine how some these kids must feel
I remember my mum talking shit about other contestants and i kind of thought it was normal, till my dad shot that down shortly later .
Thankfully.
I couldve 100% turned into a fked up person
My mom used to make me do pageants. She never got crazy or angry and was always very encouraging, but it always took a toll on my self esteem regardless.
That poor girl! How dare that mom yell no coaching! She's there to have fun, which is what these pageants are should be for. That little girl has special needs and wanted to get filled up and twirl on stage. That behavior from a grown adult is disgusting.
The only version of this I’ve sort of like was the “natural pageants”. Essentially a talent show open to kids of all schools. No makeup allowed. Only the parents of contestants allowed in the crowd. A show of kids, for their parents. Wholesome.
I can bet the mother of the special needs child would actually stop taking her kid if she said she didn't want to do it anymore.
The 10-year-old, sorry "6-year-old" has probably begged her mom to quit but that's a lady who's never going to stop that girl's entire self-worth is going to come down to whether or not she went to God damn crown
I think she behaved this way because she's all about cheating. And since she's often blamed for this, she feels the need to find the same blame in others.
Exactly, she’s projecting.
The only pageant I love is the dog and cat pageant I saw years back. They're so cute wearing those bow ties and tutu skirts✨😊
“Her eyebrows say fight me” literally took me out 😂😂😭
"I'm just here to help my daughter have fun"
"Well stop, cause I'm trying to win."
Kiddie pageants are just Karen conventions... aka my idea of hell.
No, it’s child prostitution and abuse. The mom area is the Karen central
And it IS hell. It’s all sorts of hell…
Where can I find these episodes?
The most noticeable thing about these Pageant Moms is what they hv in common. The majority are NOT even remotely “pageant material” (to be nice😁). Competing vicariously thru their daughters is their only viable option. I wish more of these Moms/kids aspired instead to be concert violinists or something less superficial. 🤦🏼♀️
My favorite quote of the day;"Somebody's getting throat punched " . Mama bear is pissed! Lol
The lady in the pink shirts insecure about not being able to coach her daughter. She has control issues, it's very sad she would rather break down other parents for trying to show their special needs daughter equality between her and her sister. Very sad. Literally just wanted the poor babe to have fun, but pink shirt lady wasn't having it. Bless that poor girls heart.
Its honestly very strange that these kinds of pagents haven't faded into history
Because it's all about the money.
1. Fees they charge per contestant and tickets to sit and watch.
2. Food,snack, drinks they sell at said event.
3. Merchandise they sell at the event (shirts, hats, toys, tumblers) .
4. Business to dress makers , make up artist, and coaches.
All about money not the kids
I mean racists somehow haven’t either so 🤷🏼♂️ wish they’d all drop dead
@@pinklori13 I mean, it's a good rule of thumb to assume pretty much anything is about getting your money. I think the problem OP has is that it actually gets "customers."
@@nuuuuuut I'm not assuming I know entry fee of each contestant can be $150-300 so if only 80 girls and boys join in that's about $12,000-$24,000 plus 160 people attending (2 parents per kid) early ticket fee $15 per adult is about 2,400-$25 is about $4,000. Then additional people who attend. Plus any food snack they have some don't allow outside food. Vendors pay a % on their sales. I know this because my daughter is in cheer the people who do competitions don't care who wins what happens as long as they make money.
Neither have a lot of other archaic American pastimes
If the rice lover is the one with special needs.... she just might be a picky eater due to sensory issues etc.
My oldest is on the spectrum and for 2 years he had a very (self-restricted) diet.
My favorite food at that age was butter noodles....
Just to add a little anecdotal experience and possible context.
my sister was like that but she only ate blended vegetables, like baby food consistency. I think at about 6 she was able to start transitioning and funny enough she now loves to cook, it's her main hobby.
having kids wear adult-looking outfits and judging their appearance is just gross on so many levels
It's like a tv show we used to get here in the UK on channel 4, called Teeny Boppers, they'd have kids this age dress up and mime to songs that were in the charts at the time, singing inappropriate lyrics, some dressing up like Madonna and looking the way these kids do, that show wasn't on for long I don't think, these pageants should be outdated just like that show.....in my honest opinion, should never have started anyway, kids being exploited really gets to me, I'm a mum.
@The Waifu Laifu from about 1985, 86ish, I think
Edit - I couldn't find anything either, it's probably been erased from history. Anybody else from the uk remember this?
exactly. it’s creepy and really weird
I don't want to bring down the comment section, but i am so overcome with a great personal loss that I can't not talk about it. My partner of five years was killed in a motorcycle accident 3 nights ago. He was the love of my life. One of the things we loved the most was watching theses videos. Every morning at breakfast we'd watch one, and then we would cuddle on our couch and watch some more videos, usually Kay's kitchen or the 90day fiancee vids. He loved it so much. I'll always feel close to him and feel comfort watching these videos. Thank you so much Ken and Buff, you don't realize how important your vids are in my life.
i could watch these two react to every toddlers & tiaras episode. cracks me up
My mother wanted me to put my twin girls in beauty pageants. That was a big hell no from me. Any thank you for making my Saturday funny. I'm going on 33 hours of work straight
Everybody works full time, if you want money and a nice lifestyle.
She said straight, not per week
I hope you get a break!
@@Abigail_Monteith u mean a couple days in a row. Lol 33 hours straight is for 1.5 days is illegal, she works her hours and gets time to rest later. A trucker works for months straight and sleeps in the truck. She isn't doing that clown
@@Abigail_Monteith yup 33 hours straight. Thankfully I have the next 4 days off starting at 7pm tonight
As a mother to a disabled child I can understand losing it and going on a Brant that's not necessarily child friendly when your child gets disrespected.
You don't mean to but after enough of it and staying silent long enough you just kinda snap.
That was the most relatable part of this video.....the ONLY relatable part.
I got a concept: how about these crazy pageant moms go on a diet, lose 80 pounds, start exercising, try to get decent looking, and THEY start modeling instead of making their young children do it
Exactly! But apparently it is easier to reproduce like rodents and then ruin the kids by dressing them like they’re nearly 40 year-old ladies for a sick ego boost for the bored mums. This whole thing is so disgusting fml🤮
okay but why are the pageant moms always so mid looking 😭
Thats what I was thinking. Some of these women would be laughed out of an adult pageant competition
YEP
ive been thinking the same thing
“Shut up, goatee.” That’s it. That’s my new catch phrase.
Jeez that one girl they accuse of being 10 legit looks like a 32 year old real estate agent from Texas 😳
These kinds of parents are terrifying on several levels. One being the emotional and physical abuse and complete hysteria, the other being that their 'anything it takes' mentality could open the door to those kids meeting a way too friendly judge for some private time.
How are child pageants not considered abuse?
They are in other countries. But this is "america"
What isn't child abuse in America and hello, no on cares, they capitalize on it so that's why things are this way 🤷
@@KemoneArmstrong America isn’t a country and that comment makes no sense anyway sorry
They are by people with common sense. It’s not illegal because those in power are paedo child predators
@@Cassxowary America isn't a country? Who told you that?!
My brother tried to run track at his school when he first got to the high school age, it was an all special needs school but he still needed to much assistance to run alone so he didn’t make the team but he hated the couple practices he did. I woulda whooped ass at 16 if someone woulda told me I couldnt run with him at least at practice.
I'm getting their posts suggested only minutes after they are published now. I've officially became addicted, thanks guys for the content.
Give me 2 minutes with that mom calling out that little girl with special needs. I was diagnosed with autism at 4 and trust me you do NOT mess with special needs moms.
Please tag me in when you get it ;)
When I had girls in school we'd get letters in the mail trying to recruit them into these pageants. I just threw them away and didn't give it much thought - remember the days of junk mail? But now I wonder where they got our address and knew we had little girls. Did the school give out names? Did other parents get a dividend if we enrolled in that?
Yeah, my dad got a letter like that trying to recruit me for a pageant when I was a teenager. We had no idea how they knew about us. It was kinda creepy tbh. Thankfully my parents never tried to get me to join.
@@CoverLuxe My girls were little like these. It seemed like a horrible idea. All kids like to dress up sometimes, but not like this.
I remember getting these when I was a kid. I asked my mom and she was like nah. Lol
My parents got sent mail about movies and tv shows because my sister and I are identical twins. I wondered the same thing. We also lived in Indiana, so it’s not like we were near California or New York.
I still get junk mail 👁️👄👁️
She really just pulled an "Every kid is special" because of the special needs child? That's wild.
her brain is more 'special' than that sweet little girl by comparison.
Every kid is special = all lives matter
Yes, that and abusing and prostituting your child…
@@kinagrill let’s not use special as a bad thing.
@@Cassxowary I must have missed the prostitution portion of that video but I guess some people see what they want.
A couple years ago in highschool I helped with a beauty pageant that had rented our theater building for the event and I honestly always assumed that all the drama was fake and made for the shows but no. I got yelled at and screamed at because I was backstage (not dressing rooms mind you) empting the trash cans by some middle aged lady who was enraged that I, a boy, was backstage. It took the theater teacher coming over and settling stuff as I was just terrified. I also made the mistake of mentioning they weren't supposed to have food backstage to them when I went back again later to empty trash cans and you can probably guess the results. This isn't even to mention the unsettling sight of like elementary kids in way too little clothing with weird dances. Look if it's your thing then cool, do what you want and or encourage your kid if they genuinely love it. But that experience soured the idea for me
“Her favorite food is RICE”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Says no kid EVER
My daughter did cheerleading competitions her whole childhood and they had people that would sit in the stands and walk around to listen to parents talking trash. If you were caught saying something bad about another team or a child you were removed and so was your child. And the coach doesn’t have time to change everything to make up for your kid not being there, so the whole routine is ruined. Or if you’re on a small team and your kid gets removed they might not have enough cheerleaders to compete and they get disqualified. Never in a million years would you see parents yelling at each other like this.
Children pageants like this are technically just narcissistic mom's living through their child's youth. Lol
Im pretty worried about that crazy lady's daughter.. She probably has to experience her mom fighting with a lot of people, and that makes me sad. She doesn't look like a loving mother at all :(
"I've never heard of anybody who's favorite food is *rice*"
I have, my nephew said that when he was 8. He still prefers rice dishes over potato dishes.
After watching your videos everyday, it finally IS my birthday. Thank you, Ken.
So I wrote a paper about the negative impacts of children’s beauty pageants on kids and theres not one redeeming quality to them. They disgust me and they usually boarder on child abuse
'Border' on, lol.
The trouble with beauty pageants is that the people who participate only tend to focus on the beauty of something physical and not the beauty of character.
And the beauty of something physical is INSANELY creepy when it revolves around children.
The only time I think pageants are okay is when the kid actually wants to do it. Like as a kid I was super girly and loved dressing up, so I probably would’ve wanted to do this if I knew about it and my family had the money. As soon as it’s ‘(parent) wants to’ then it’s not okay 🤷♀️
Kids should just do it in private.
@@davidmoyes7010 Kids play "pretend" for a reason they dont need an audience. Not sure how this is even allowed tbh
I loved being dressed up and getting onstage when I was little, so my parents had me sing at the county fair. Beauty pageants are just inappropriate for young children. Take them to talent shows, or have them join dance/ballet/choir/theatre instead.
@@becca53444 that is a good point!
They should have like a fashion type show instead. Let them make outfits based on a theme and judge those instead. They would have a lot more fun that way.
I've just been recently reminded that someone I know has been doing the child beauty pageants and this reminded me of it. She has 5 kids and apparently none of them have been to school and the oldest is 7. Been really thinking about calling CPS. I just had a baby and I couldn't even imagine doing that to my child.
If you're entering your kid in something that has an age bracket birth certificate, it is important, especially in sports where injury can occur
All these mothers were up in arms about Netflixs Cuties but think THIS IS OKAY? 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I bet they uses it as an education video for their next contest

I will never understand why parents want do dress up their children like adults from the 80's
Abused kids and parents who don't care as long as they get attention, totally bizarre
my mom LOVES the show. its a freakshow but it’s her guilty pleasure
It’s her guilty pleasure to see bad parenting and children that are basically prostituted? Interesting…
It's not the worst guilty pleasure out there, but it is pretty bad😂
Same 😣 recently TLC did a couple episodes catching up with some of the 'regulars' on this show and none of them were really in pagents and seemed fine. All looked happy.
I agree, children's beauty pageants are both enraging and sickening. Would love to live in a society where people don't make their young daughters look like their 25 for money, and where people don't sexualize children, or people in general.
As someone with adhd and autism just she says a Regular kids thing just wow at how many times I have heard that
I appreciate the attempt by the one lady to build her daughter’s confidence through pageantry, but I feel it was very poorly thought out. I personally don’t see how comparing yourself to other people in terms of beauty and being scored on it would ever result in a confidence boost. Maybe there is more to the pageant world that I am blind to as I have never been in or even seen one, but based off of what this show is portraying, it doesn’t make sense to me. I feel it would be much more effective to build her daughter’s confidence by praising differences among people and celebrating what makes everyone beautiful in their own individual ways.
I was thinking the same, like I understand what the mom is trying to accomplish, but pageants seem pretty cutthroat and maybe not the right place to boost ANY kid’s confidence. Her special needs child would probably not really understand all the uproar and anger going on around her, which isn’t going to boost her confidence. What probably WOULD boost her confidence is learning a skill, or finding a hobby that she truly loves. Mom would be much better off trying different activities with her till she finds something she likes. If she got into art, maybe she would find her creativity through painting beautiful pictures. That would lead to a much healthier self esteem and confidence.
Hopefully she doesn’t continue the pageants…I really wish they didn’t exist!
This. It doesn't make any sense. Yes they're kids but it is a kids COMPETITION.
I don’t think they were going to listen to scores or whatever, I think she was just meant to go on stage and enjoy walking around with a dress and her hair up feeling pretty. I also would have tried to find a pageant that was more geared to healthy ideas honestly.
Or sports maybe?!? ☺️
My favorite food is rice! It can be so many different dishes, and it's great when you want like 10,000 of something.
But... just plain rice, nothing else to it?
