I realize I'm not a parent, but am I the only one whose instinctive reaction to this would be "Oh hell no. He can opt in for this when he's 18, but for now he gets to go be a kid, bumps, bruises, and all."?
I'm sure that most people react this way. I also think that if you asked Billy Ray Cyrus if he'd let his daughter pose topless for a photographer he would have said, "No way!"
However, when presented with a contract that you believe could ensure your kid's financial future, or when Annie L. says, "I'd like to wrap her in this with her shoulders and back bare" the answer might be different.
Parents charged in diabetes death
If convicted, the parents face maximum sentences of 25 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Good. In fact, 25 years isn't long enough.
"Oh hell no. He can opt in for this when he's 18, but for now he gets to go be a kid, bumps, bruises, and all."?
Well, yeah, but then there are still plenty of kids who aren't child actors who aren't allowed just to be kids anymore.
"My husband, Dale, was crying and mentioned taking Kara to the doctor, and I said the Lord's going to heal her and we continued to pray."
this is what's going to kill them. they made a conscious decision not to take her to the doctor.

I think that she's an amazing photographer, and I'm trying to think of what I would do if, say, I was managing my gorgeous niece and was in this situation.

I have also heard she is very controlling on set, and even big stars have been cowed by her. I wonder how difficult it would be if you were the parent of a child star to argue with her about a shot. Not that I'm saying is going on here.
That said, I think the picture in question is beautiful, but provocative. I don't really know if I have a problem with it. Which is probably why I'm not a parent.
I like bacon more than your average bear, but I draw the line at Bacon Crafts.
Well the crafting kind of defeats the main purpose of the bacon which is to be eaten, right?

I think I'd ask the kid in question how they felt about it and, if she was okay with it, have her take the picture and then reevaluate based on the outcome of the shot. It sounds like the Cyrus family okayed the picture and are now crying foul about it. Which seems to me like bullshit designed to generate publicity and doesn't have anything to do with protecting their child.

That's probably how I would deal with it. IF my niece was okay with it, I'd allow it to go forward, but only if I had veto rights.

Billytea just experienced true happiness, though he knows not why.
And I'm not the expert because I don't have a daughter, but I'd probably okay a 12-year-old wearing a little makeup for a truly special occasion.
I was allowed to wear makeup when I turned 13. Since this coincided with my exposure to MTV, there were a lot of days I went to school looking like I escaped from an Adam Ant or Duran Duran video.
