Yeah, I agree.

Somehow, I am reminded of adults who live out their fantasies through their children. They live their unrealized dreams by forcing their children to be what they thought that they should have been. It causes identity foreclosure in young adults of college age and lots of these kids end up on drugs or in the lurid sex peddler's claws or both...GIRLS GONE WILD! has a pathological basis.
These with the child beauty kind of dysfunction seems like a modified version of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy mixed with a Narcissistic complex. Maybe some neuroses mixed in to boot.
It is hard to analyze this sort of thing and it is hard to see when it goes over the line. Children want so hard to please their parents that they will easily deny themselves.
I think of the woman in Texas who tried to have the teenage cheerleader killed so that her daughter could take her place on the cheerleading squad. These idiots when out of control turn out to be like the idiot who killed Selena. (http://www.cnn.com/US/9510/selena/10-26/index.html)
It is hard to see and to realize how bad they are until somebody is dead.
