Photos of a 10-year-old French model are causing an international furor and raising questions about the negative impact of starting modeling at such a young age and of the dangers of sexualizing a child.

Breaking Celebrity News spoke exclusively with someone who knows a thing or two about controversy,  Krista Stodden, the mother of 16-year-old Courtney Stodden who married 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, and she shared her thoughts on allowing a ten-year-old to model and on that child modeling topless.

"I personally would never allow my child to pose without a top on," Krista said.

Thylane Loubry Blondeau is the 10-year-old girl who appears in French Vogue's pictorial "Quel maquillage à quel âge?" which means "What makeup at what age?" in English but the photos of the little girl without a shirt on appear on a website with hundreds of her modeling shots.

"I understand it is a different culture in France and whatever they feel comfortable with is not what we feel comfortable with here," Stodden told Breaking Celebrity News.  "I'm so glad they feel comfortable in their culture to do that."
