10-year-old French model Thylane Loubry Blondeau’s mom closes daughter’s Facebook page

The mother of young French model Thylane Loubry Blondeau, whose risque Vogue photo shoot ignited a debate about the media’s over-sexualization of youth last week, has “closed” her little girl’s Facebook group and is speaking out about the scandal.

According to Blackbook magazine, the child’s mom, Veronika Loubry, “closed” the online group over the weekend and left a post on the Facebook fan page’s wall.

Veronika Loubry, a French entertainment reporter-turned-fashion designer, wrote a somewhat incoherent message about closing the fan site until the “buzz” on Thylane fades.

“hey guys im the mum of thylane something going ‘s wrong at the moment with thylane and bad personn in usa about pictures she make’s 8 months ago for vogue ,,thylane doesn’t know about the buzz and i want to protect her from the deapest of my heart,” Veronika Loubry wrote on the Facebook page.

Veronika Loubry sent good wishes to Thylane’s fans for appreciating the model-to-be’s work.

“she’s so young ,, so we are going to close this accompte for a while ,,i know all of you are good person who like her so i send you a big kiss,,thanks,” the French television personality wrote.

Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, told The Daily Caller that Thylane’s mom and dad never should have let their daughter pose like a grown woman and shoot seductive looks at the camera.

“The issue isn’t that she has a Facebook page but that her parents have allowed her to be photographed as an adult,” Nance said in response to news of the Facebook page closure. “Those photos are a disgusting sexualization of the child.”

Last week, Thylane’s Vogue Paris fashion spread received predominantly negative worldwide attention for rather provocative photographs of her. (Vogue Paris raises eyebrows with risque pictorial of 10-year-old)

Koa Beck, deputy editor of Mommyish.com, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” last week that these photos force readers to look at elementary school age Blondeau in a racy manner.

“I think that I’m seeing a very young girl being sexualized, being gazed at in a very adult way,” Beck said on the show.

One blogger bounded to Thylane’s defense with the blog, “Thylane Blondeau Pictures,” which was deleted after Thylane’s story went viral over the weekend.

    Typical hypocrisy, blame people for looking at your daughter like an adult after you paint her up to resemble one.

    What is wrong with these parents?!?!?

      “What is wrong with these parents?”  I’d say nothing really….then again, I don’t think it’s any of MY business to tell other parents how to raise THEIR kids.   As I see it,  the photographer probably intended all along to provoke the inevitable disapproving reactions of people.  Judging by the cluck-cluck-clucking comments of so many folks, that goal has been accomplished, as anticipated.   I think of the pictures as a Rorschach test:  one’s reaction to the photos says more about oneself than about the girl or her parents.

    Gross. Get those parents to therapy so they understand the predators these photos will end up attracting to their child…..

    what’s the big deal? this isn’t a vulgar photo, she’s fully clothed, and it’s very artistic.

    people who have issues are probably jealous their daughters are fat and fugly.

      If you truly believe those shots were “artistic” your taste leaves much to be desired! Children posing as adult prostitutes appeals to very sick people. Seek help…..you need it!

        “Templewind ” where in the heavens name did you get the idea that her outfit is like a prostitute ….hmmmmmmm  ,,,, i really think that your the one there needs a therapist , a good one aswell , its needed .

    One reason to never allow your little girl to dress like this; Jon-Benet Ramsey. The greed in this world for beauty, power, and money is astounding to me. I have boys and I don’t want to see their female peers dress like sluts and prance around in front of them before they are old enough to know what sex is. I’ve watched mothers buying trashy clothes for their daughters in the mall. I’ve also seen those same girls a few months later toting a baby carriage to the mall. Childhood is almost over before it even starts anymore. I just hope and pray that I can make my boys grow into men of integrity regardless of our lost society.

    parents with their heads in their rears.  why do they wonder at all, when they parade their children around like grown sex cats, and all hell breaks out. I would NEVER allow my kids to dress in such a poor manner. shame on these so-called P-A-R-E-N-T-S. they should be arrested for prostituting a minor.
