Save the Children

Degeneration
Children in beauty contests
Shame on their parents

I have written this haiku after having seen on television that some people brings children 
of 2 to 6 years to beauty contests to win money and with the scope of launching them in 
show careers. This cannot be tolerated: children must be respected!

Thank you Anne Lise. I have seen mothers using tan spray on 3 years old children to make them look better in the contest. A real shame!
