Mackenzie's mother said she is addicted to her ni ni which means she has it in her mouth at all times. When an object is in your mouth continually the growth plates can't fuse properly. That is no doubt what happened to MacKenzie. Thank you Nancy. Mackenzie’s mother said she is addicted to her ni ni which means she has it in her mouth at all times.

Resentful, spiteful and unimaginable selfishness. I have never watched this show because I find the entire concept anathema to a healthy child's development. I strongly object to the overt sexualization of children. To objectify kids at this age is sick. It's a perve's delight. These parents are beyond inappropriate and IMO it does border on abusive. I totally agree with the above comments that they are raising a potential Casey Anthony clone. They must be BLIND to not see what a little monster Mckenzie has become. They could benefit from major therapy themselves. Question - Would a child that sucked their thumb past infancy suffer from the same jaw and tongue deformities and speech problems? Great article, Dr Lillian! This child is a n obnoxious tyrant. Resentful, spiteful and unimaginable selfishness.

Question – Would a child that sucked their thumb past infancy suffer from the same jaw and tongue deformities and speech problems?

Great article, Dr Lillian!

If you are going to make ugly hateful comments then own up to making them and don't hide. . People can disagree with me and do all he time. I welcome differences of opinion. I do not, however welcome hateful comments and personal attacks that are unwarranted. And yes i am angry at the parents who helped deform their child's mouth by indulging her with a pacifier during crucial jaw development. I am angry that they did not set boundaries and teach this child manners and respect. I am angry that she is so self absorbed that it may hinder her personality development. And I am not ugly internally as you have no clue about me or you wouldn't have made such an ugly and stupid statement. JI speak the truth and that is internally beautiful. . You my dear Carrie need to look at yourself. IF you don't think this child's actions are ugly then you need to take a strong look at yourself and your own values or lack thereof. . I will call a child who treats her mother like that ugly. I will call a child with a piranha like jaw deformity not attractive. Her behavior is what makes her very ugly. There is nothing cute about her as pretty and beauty is as they do. If you were raised differently than you were raised to not face the truth and hide. There is nothing cruel about calling this child ugly. It is cruel to ignore her behavior and hide your head in the sand as you appear to be doing. I think it is very professional to let everyone know the truth!!! No nerve hit with me Carrie. If you are going to make ugly hateful comments then own up to making them and don’t hide. .

I really hit a nerve, didn't I Lillian? You can dish it out but can't take another persons opinion when they disagree with you. Classy. In my opinion anyone who calls a child "the ugliest child I've ever seen" is an ugly person. I stand by my opinion and refuse to further argue with such an angry, not to mention extremely judgmental person.It must be tough to be so perfect. Mary, I'm sorry you were offended by me calling Lillian ugly. I didn't mean physically, I meant internally. No matter what you think of a child, in my opinion, you don't call them ugly but I guess that's okay with you. To each their own. I was raised differently I suppose. The words Dr. Glass uses to describe this child are cruel. I guess that's the only way she knows to get her point across. I love how she outs my last name too. What an unprofessional piece of work.

It's like the toddlers are performing monkeys learning to imitate an exaggerated stylized view of being female.. most closely resembling a Drag Act than anything else. It's like these new virtual reality games you can play using your TV, which read your body and the Animation on the TV screen does what you do. The 'cute' kid is merely the Animation of the mother as she stands in the audience doing the moves the child immitates, poking her own cheeks which the child immitates, smirking, which the child immitates...creeps me out and i don't know why some of this behavior doesn't bring down Child Protective Services on their heads. ..also, I have always felt the children, though indulged, are simply puppets for the mothers, who direct their every move and facial expression.

I watch Toddlers & Tiaras occasionally, like I do scary movies. It's about time people stop being so politically correct about this issue and address a very toxic situation. WHY can't a child who IS ugly due to ugly behavior and expression be called such? It's the same as preventing conversation about child obesity due to 'how wrong it is to identify a child as obese' = this only prolongs the number of years before we as a society can come to grips with an issue which damages children in the same lasting way. And I applaud you for pointing out that these pageant mothers are mostly (not all but mostly) overweight & unattractive and are living through their children. It makes me sick. I currently am overweight and unattractive and i do not find what you said offensive. And I have a daughter who was and is gorgeous. I recognize a part of me that is gratified when someone comments on how pretty she is, so I know what these mothers get from 'showing' their children like dogs. But my praise was for what she accomplished and for her mind, not how she looked. These mothers are just like any other addict, justifying their addiction but nobody ever does an Intervention for them. YOU NAILED IT LILLIAN GLASS!!!!

Her daughter was in pageants growing up and is now 16. She annoys people at her school by always talking about how pretty she is. She constantly says I love you to everyone because she is so afraid of no one loving her. I have told her mother she needs to stop telling her she is the most beautiful girl because she can't comprehend that she may not be. She gets angry and resentful when she is not the center of attention. She tells people all the time how pretty she is. This will cause her even more problems in years to come. Imagine having your co-worker tell you every day how pretty she is. She is 17 yrs old and has no concept of the feelings of others or that the world may not actually revolve around her.

Shirley was beyond compare the most precosious, adorable child ever and by all accounts this was both inside and out. She was respectful annd polite rather than "full of herself". This extended long after her child star statis had faded. She contributed so much to society, not just through her movies but her life's work beyond. Somehow I don't see that in this child's future. It is quite apparent that a child can be full of talent yet well behaved as well. Prehaps Mckenzie's parents could take a lesson or two from Mrs. Temple.
