i dont get it By the age of 16 you are considered to be responsible enough and mature enough to make decisions about sexual intercourse providing it is with an individual between the ages of 16-18. If you are allowed to have sex at that age then why not model? Parents will be there making sure that everything is ok and safe.By the age of 16 we are allowed to take responsibility for our own education and choose to leave school and go to Tafe or trade school and we are also considered to be young adults and in the senior part of school. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to model

Its hypocrisy. If she was 4 years old there would be no problem.
The industry has always used child models. So these young ladies are on the brink of full womanhood. If they are properly chaperoned and have limited working hours, (and do their homework) what’s the issue?

I dont see the issue. She was not doing anything inapropriate and she has her parents and agents there so nothing should be able to go wrong.
If modelling is what she wants to do then let her. Our leaders need to stop trying to rule everyones lives and let the new generation of young people make there own decisions and mistakes.
This girl had been given a great chance in her industry and now because of one over the top mother (not even hers) she has had it taken away from her. I think this will not stop her but encourage her to try even harder and i hope that she does and i hope for her sake that she makes it to where she wants to go.
