Meet Maddison Gabriel, The 12-Year Old Runway Model

We live in a sex-saturated society; you can't turn on the TV, log on to the Internet or go to the movies without being inundated with images of sex.
Advertisers treat consumers not as rational creatures but as animals who respond only to sexual stimuli.
With every passing year the sexualization of our children starts at a younger age. A Mom doesn't see anything wrong with taking her 11-year old girl to the mall, and buying her thongs, low-slung jeans and halter tops. And then she is "shocked, shocked, shocked" when her little girl is pregnant at the tender age of twelve.
The following story from the Daily Mail shows that this mad rush to make our children sexual objects continues unabated:
"A 12-year-old has caused a media frenzy after she was chosen to front one of the world's largest fashion shows.
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Maddison Gabriel was picked as the official ambassador of Gold Coast Fashion Week in Australia and has also worn a number of revealing outfits for the Queensland event.
The country's Prime Minister John Howard strongly criticised the decision saying it was unacceptable.
He said: 'Catapulting girls as young as 12 into something like that is outrageous.'"
A model is by definition a sex object; when she sashays down the catwalk the men in the audience ogle her body parts. For a parent to allow her young girl to be a runway model is at the very least reprehensible and at the worst child abuse.
Maddison's Mom defended her daughter's right to model with these idiotic words:
"'I believe the Prime Minister is getting very doddery,' she said.
He does not know exactly what 13 and 14-year-old girls are like. I used to vote for him. We're trying to get our teenage daughters to act older. I am so happy that I've got a daughter who has got a good head on her shoulders.'"
Quote from the Daily Mail
A rational mother gets her teenage daughter to act older by instilling in her a love for books and a disdain for brain-dead starlets, not by dressing her up like a little whore.
Maddison may or may not have a good head on her shoulders, but her mother is an idiot.
I applaud Australia's Prime Minister for condemning the sexualization of Maddison Gabriel.
