Okay, point taken. But why are the parents granting so many interviews and seeking out so much publicity.
I could understand if there was one interview and the reporter was an idiot.
But there are many and a web page as well!
And also, I think most posters that have been somewhat critical (but hopefully polite!) have been directing it towards the PARENT, not the CHILD........is anyone picking up this recurring theme!!!!! mad


Concerning the Olymics, I agree with you there questions. But there are really not that many kids competing. I've seen kids as young as 15, and only one as young as 12 or 13 I think, a swimmer.

But this kid is 8. And those kids are hopefully showing up to compete in their event. I haven't seen any evidence of their parents marketing their children like a brand, although I'm sure we will. cry

I think it goes without saying that I would also think that is a bad idea.
