What happened to Miley Cyrus with Vanity Fair magazine is nothing short of exploitation and child pornography. At what point was she told to take off her bra and blouse and partially wrap up in a sheet? Who suggested it and allowed it to happen?

From what I've read and heard at least four adults -- including her parents -- approved of a disrobing that never should have happened. It is devastating to me, as a mother and grandmother, to know that not only did this happen to Miley at the hands of adults who should be protecting her but that they also cashed in on her photo shoot and worst of all let her assume the blame and offer an apology to the rest of the world for "her" wrongdoing!

The message being sent to this child is abusive and disturbing, and it trickles down to the children of our society. Shame on all adults who financially profit from this kind of abusive behavior! Don't we have laws in place to protect children from this disgusting exploitation?

SHEILA KOZAR, EXCELSIOR
