I never heard of such pageants until 6 year old beauty pageant JonBenet Ramsey was raped and murdered. It's really sick and disgusting to dress them up like little adults and attempting to make them look sexual at such a young age.
As far as attracting Pedophiles...I'm not sure. I always thought what attracted the Pedophiles was the innocence of the children. These children still have that innocence but I would think being made up like little adults would be a turn off for Pedophiles because they aren't turned on by grown adults male or female. For a lack of a better word the children are sexed up which is what I thought the pedophiles don't want. They want the shy innocence of children. I don't think JonBenet was raped by a pedophile I think she was raped by a heterosexual who could be classified as a pedo only because she was 6 years old not because he was or is attracted to children. I just always thought that about pedophiles now I'm not so sure about that.
I sometimes, but, thankfully not often, think about these "Pageants". Then I wonder who is the weirder; the mothers that tart up the kids or the people that watch and cheer.
I would rather watch a contest based on invention and science for kids. I think “Science fairs” are cool but then I am a geek scientist that values intellect over appearance.
As i said, I'm sure they happen, but I never hear anything about them. The fact that they may be more popular in areas near me than in other areas doesn't mean they're actually very popular for most people.
