They should be horsewhipped.

They should be horsewhipped. She'd worked very hard to get Swan ready for the show, fed her a special diet, hired the best trainers, kept her under constant discipline and training. She took her from show to show, always striving to do better, to get Swan to place higher. She was very demanding, but She only wanted the best for Her little prize.
Swan lived for Her approval, and would do anything to get it, but She doled out praise even less frequently than the treats She used to reward good behavior, or success at shows. Finally, the big day came, the biggest show to date. Swan was tired and scared, but determined not to let Her down. And finally, after all of the training, the sacrifice, the demands, Swan won Best in Show.

Swan is a five year old girl in a beauty pageant.

Her parents should be horsewhipped.

The stomach churning story is detailed on HBO America Undercover. They pitch it as humorous on the website. Don't believe it.
