CGiii Comment

We're going to go down the moral high-ground on this one...

This kid has been manufactured into a commodity. Ouch! That hurt!

There is a major difference between supporting a child who doesn't conform with gender AND publicity.

Let's consider the kid - the kid is a kid...when the kid grows up and - perhaps - becomes gender conforming...does that 'kid' want this film to be a permanent reminder of a time gone by?!?

Is this an exploitative breach of the kid's privacy?!?

The parents have a case to answer. Well done for supporting your child - but, think on.

This is irresponsible parenting. This is a film-making-nirvana. Where do you stand on the moral ground?

There are repercussions to just having fun...think on.
