I find it strange that most of the almost sickening comments I've read regarding the way the children have been "used" are from the US and the UK. 

I personally find the whole "Beauty Pageant" scene in the US far more sickening and more likely to attract paedophiles than this film ever will. As for the UK, many preach the purity of Victorian values, all I can say is they should check up on their history because for children especially, they were far more troubled times.

Cheers Trev.
