JonBenet Ramsey would be 21 years old if she were alive today. Instead, she will forever be the 6-year-old beauty queen, frozen in time, hair coiffed and in full make-up.

But that's not the JonBenet her father John Ramsey remembers. He remembers something of a tomboy, who loved to hike and play with her older brother, Burke.

It will always be a sad story. You just hope there really is a big guy upstairs who ultimately will punish whoever killed his little girl.

I think there are still so many unanswered questions about this case.

If he thought the world of child beauty pageants was bizarre...why did he let his daughter compete.

It was his wife thing, He was busy working making millions of $'s, From reports back then he would sometimes go to the pagents at the end if they were local, but it was mostly Patsy thing trying to re-live her pagent days, thru JonBenet.

Because they didn't have toddlers and tiaras back then, and if beauty pageants for little girls were over the top then, T&T is over the top on steroids. I'm guessing that the show makes him sick--I know it does me and I didn't lose a little girl over it.

I am sick to my stomach of the whole child beauty queen thing. When did this become OK? Aside from the sexualisation of children (CLEARLY part of TT) what about letting kids be kids? The coached smiles on these babies faces is horrific, I do not know how ANYONE can call this entertainment. The stupid fat mothers say "she loves it" no....she loves YOU and is still so little she will do anything to please you including be plucked, bleached, poked, prodded, posed, trained like a freakn dog. Let alone the pedophiles who YOU KNOW are watching. It should be illegal. It is nothing short of child abuse.
