A show like this will probably smoke out a lot of (would be) kidnappers and pedophiles. But at what cost? How many children will be victimized in the process?
Nothing is more dangerous to a child than putting her on display like this. Any parent should have an intuitive awareness of this. Young girls everwhere are being endangered by this show to the effect that everyone involved should be removed from society.
Even JonBenet Ramsey's father now believes that he made a mistake in putting his daughter on display. And I can't say JonBenet was ever exploited and sexualized to the extent the girls on Dance Moms are.
Children are being abused because we tolerate it. Indeed, we stand by and watch.
