Hasn't it always been the case, and isn't it perfactly natural, that all mothers think their ducks are swans? Mothers cannot be objective about their children because to us all our children are absolutely beautiful and Mothercare/Verbaudet//Next etc etc would be crazy not to want them adorning the pages of their latest catalogues. As long as this is the case, running a child modelling agency, be it bona fide or scam, will be a very lucrative business.
And until things change, there will never be any shortage of threads about child modelling either
