Well, for now.Crawford sais she was shocked to see just how much the public responded to the one picture her daughter took for Versace's new children's campaign. But with stunning looks just like her mother its really no surprise.
Right now, Kaia will have to wait until she's seventeen if she wants to continue modeling, which she's fine with. According to her mother Kaia's response to the situation was, "I might model first because you don't have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse."
While I feel like Crawford made the right decision by letting her daughter choose when she comes of age, this leads to the heated debate surrounding child labor.
Some people think it should be banned all together. Some people let girls walk the runway as young as thirteen. I personally think child models and actors are fine, but there's a fine line. A line that many "stage moms" cross without any hesitation.
I think child labor laws should be strictly followed and that the children's desires be upheld with the most respect. Easier said than done in the real world. Many parents want to live their dreams through their children and reap their financial benefits leading to the exploitation of their children. Hence so many child stars who grow up with substance abuse problems due to having career-focused parents.
Thankfully, it seems in this case that Cindy Crawford has a level head on her shoulders. A trait that will hopefully be passed on to her daughter.
