I don't want to defend the Ramseys, but I blame the media A LOT more for putting forth this image of JonBenet as a child beauty queen. First, the Ramseys have released A LOT of pictures of JonBenet being a normal child since 1996. The media just doesn't use them very often. There are plenty of JonBenet memorial websites where can you see them. Let's not act like if the Ramseys had said, "Hey guys, can you stop showing pageant videos of our daughter and only show normal pictures?", the media would have replied, "Of course! Sure, we won't make as much money off the case of a normal brunette 6-year-old as we would a child beauty queen, but your wish is our command!"
It's ironic to see the media embracing pictures of JonBenet as a normal child, because if those were the only pictures they ever had of her, they wouldn't be talking about her 15 years later.
