The American reality show 'Toddlers and Tiaras' famous for its controversial child beauty pageants sparked even more flare-ups last week when a four-year-old contestant walked the stage with fake breasts and a padded bottom.
According to media reports, Maddy Jackson was emulating her icon - singer Dolly Parton known for her hour-glass figure and ample cleavage.
While social networking sites are flooded with comments on the disturbing act, the child's mother and grandmother have defended their decision saying the "cash prizes can be put towards schooling and toys for the children", reported 'Daily Mail'.
Even the little girl's own stylist felt the dress was 'inappropriate'. But Maddy's mom was determined to put on detachable enhancements on the child for the live show.
Fake tan
In a similar case, a mother in the UK used fake tan on her four-year-old daughter to boost her confidence.
Jools Willis regularly gives her children - Tate, 4, Chayce, 6, and Darcie, 10, a fake tanning treatment at her salon.
She says the children want to look like her adult customers. She even gives her 14-year-old son Zac collagen treatment for his spots. All the kids support their mother.
