I put my foot down at young children (ages 1-12) being put into modeling by their parents. But after that, it really is the "child's" decision as to whether they want to model or not. By then, teenage rebellion has kicked in and most kids will tell their parents if they don't want to model. If they do, even if they have eating disorders, isn't it better to let them express themselves rather than stifle them? My ED was caused by feelings of suffocation and a lack of control. If teens are told that they aren't allowed to model, they will just find other outlets for their unhealthy habits. And isn't it better anyway that it's out in the open so people can discuss the controversy rather than hide it under a rug? A sixteen year old, while young, is not a child.
