I honestly hope this started as her dream and still is HER dream. This just feels like she's become a modern day Julia Pastrana. Exploiting people is wrong, even if they don't feel exploited.
I have yet to find any interview where this girl is actually holding a conversation. There is always somebody speaking for her
SlùmpAhoe and i get that but at least let the girl answer ONE bloody question. She doesnt even look like she knows what is going on. Or even cares to be there. Let the girl go home and be a kid
1:45 there she is speaking answering questions
@@lasvegas89032 you won't understand unless you have someone like that you grew up with. My cousin always talks with me while we play and he gestures to me to finish his sentences. Think of it as a guessing game. It's fun bc we d pretend that we have magical bonds that lets us hear eachother s thoughts. Aaaah childhood was guud. Nobody made fun of him back then when we went out for a play day but nowadays, I don't socialize with him anymore because everyone s so mean to him, his mom shut him off the outside. Now he s only with people with the same disability as him. I hope he s happy. He was a lovely, fun, cute and wholesome
Jake elwafi i just feel bad for the girl. The modeling industry is brutal. And i feel like they are only using her to be trendy. Not taking her seriously. And her mom is sort of pushing the modeling thing. She always speaks for her. She is young... the modeling world is heartless and merciless and could easily take advantage of her. I just hope she is able to have a normal life outside of modeling and this doesnt take up her whole life
I can send you some links
I love how the mom acts so suprised as if the girl dressed herself...like lady...lmao..u know what u did
Power to Madeline!! People who put down this family probably have little to no connection or experience of those with Down. Power to Madeline!!
I wish I had not read the posts here. There are so many mean, hateful people and they can never just shut up. They do not accept her as she is and cannot possibly have listened to what the mother said her other accomplishments are.
She is precious!
Made me so sad watching this documentary because it seems like mum is following her dream,not maddie's 🤔😔
It's easy to see what makes maddie happy and modeling isn't the one 😕😔 please let her be happy with what she does without pushing things on 🤔🙏❤
If Madeline didn’t want to become a model, she would’ve said something by now.
I’m confused, I watched the whole video and I never saw a part where Maddie was shown being happy doing something else lol. Or are you just making that part up to fit your argument? 🙄
@@sparkly21 and who would listen to the poor girl, they'd rather parade her around for their own pc points. Maybe I'm wrong and it's all above board but it looks a bit sketchy.
@@MrDeano-eu9rg I haven’t seen her in a while, she probably retired or something
Look at her photographic work! She is beautiful 😍
The guy at the end though, oh my gawd I can't stop laughing at him!
Great and beautiful family!! Such a wonderful story about this girl and modeling!
This young lady is amazing.
Really white privilege would love to see a real native of australia
she cannot even speak
Virtue signalling by using a young lady as a prop. Mom seems nice and I’m sure the girl is very sweet.
So beatiful
Every damn modeling industries should take notes.
What do you mean by that...specifically?
She has beauty and strength!
i love her!
Like 14, so awesome!!
Beautiful girl. she has such a strong spirit and she's confident. It just shows being different means nothing.
lamsy1 why are you commenting under
nearly every post on this video? Get a life
Yes it does
She looks like a Barbie doll.
Beautiful
I just see a Beautiful Video from this Amazing StUnInG GiRl and I L❤️VE all the Pasarell she been tru.
Maddy I'm Proud Of You 💗👋👋👋🌹🌅
Thanks for Representing @ll Woman's
W🌐rldwide 💕 Congrats to You and Mom.
Blessings to You Both and More, More Success in to Your Career 🔥🌹👋👋👋👋
Why is nobody talking about that guy staring in the window at the end of the video💀🤣
Does she realize that she is being used as a token in a freak show?
How
Basically
@AB. B. She does not earn any money, her mom is rich, she is financed by her mother
Madeline does not earn any money, her mom finances it
She's beautiful
She's actually so gorgeous
Shes a daughter of a rich white mother no real NATIVE AUSTRALIANS ARE MODELS
@@lamsy1 what does that have to do with anything
lamsy1 shut up
lamsy1 why don’t you become a model then?
Shes fucking ugly like honestly wtf why are yall lying
Hey Maddy!
Yikes. The entitled attitude of the mom @3:25. If a mom spoke like that about a non-DS daughter or son, people would see her as Momzilla or Kris Jenner. That’s nuts to make demands of the designers. That’s their vision. You’re not running the show.
Heaps of models parents are like this, Yolanda Hadid for example
yep also it makes no sense, if they put him with the hottest girl it would be someone else...stupid lady.
@@sparkly21 And that is very in line with what I said.
This is beautiful congratulations I love it
why is everyone focusing on her mom? SHES THE FIRST MODEL WITH DOWN SYNDROME. you guys don’t realize how successful she is.
Finally a comment that’s positive like you can tell the girl is happy and modelling brings out the confidence and the feeling of acceptance in her
@@ogresarelikeonions2539 hell yeah man
her mother is a millionaire, she can fund her 'career' research its hilarious
@@lamsy1 that’s not the point. i’d rather focus on how happy she is rather than her mom.
@@bellaevans15 rich white privilege, native australians, no show, maybe her mothers money buys likes wake up please
I hope she gets paid well and treated well though! I curse anyone who takes advantage of her.
Maddi looks a bit like another famous Aussie I reckon Bindi Irwin ! 💕🥰🥰💕
She worked hard and she earned her spot fair and square.
did she...?
And she also juggles potatoes
Just like your mum!!
@@sparkly21 at least I have one ,yours throw you in trash because you were getting in the way of her true dream wich is getting laid with all homeless she can handle
@@dirtygirl2808 You have a very wild, and vivid imagination. Does your daddy know that you're on his computer?
@@sparkly21 and you only have zeros on your checking and savings accounts :)
@@dirtygirl2808 Grow up 🙂
mother making big money exploiting her daughter's disability. Just like old circus.
Her mother is crazy , she talks about 'INCLUSION' but she sent her daughter who is low functioning DOWN SYNDROME to a private school, fee paid for 10 years, makes you think that her mother really did not accept the diagnosis of down syndrome
I disagree
I understand what you mean, but this isn’t about the mother, she is an inspiration to many people with a disability or with relatives with disabilities “my brother has autism” because it shows that despite her having Down syndrome, she can be beautiful and have some independence. Ever since my brother was a baby, agencies have asked him to model for them since he’s actually really cute with blonde, curly hair and green eyes. People don’t know he has autism at first because you can’t tell based on how he looks and he’s always getting compliments. He’s a really happy and sweet boy even though he has autism. He gets better and more independent everyday. His beauty is so obvious to everyone despite his autism.
Every child should be given the opportunity to be beautiful and independent no matter what. She deserves every wonderful thing other girls get to experience.
This is not just about money its about showing her daughters ability more than her disability
@@anumpp9401 YES this comment is perfect
Hey Melanie my name is Ann Marie Rodgers I have Down syndrome to I am navy captain daughter. I was a model 5 years I love fashion too I first met with Ashley she is fashion designer good job for model job I am 31 years old
I don't get it
The most loyal I had her
why is a 50 year old man calling a 20 year old a woman highly offensive
Beautiful.... The mom is great
Ashley Amanda Barton 25
It’s crazy that they still won’t put a short woman (5’4” or under) on the runway though, as if being short is more of a disability than down syndrome. What a weird world.
The down syndrome Youngest Adults be like a model Creear fashion standment conference Honesty be truthful and kindness hope loving ❤ children in the world 🌎 makes us Happy feels like inside our s heart be yourself
I'm not really down with this. Pun intended.
Lol
That's beautiful
How??
13% different from classic Barnum and Bailey.
Tell the people who thinks you can't due anything else because of her disabled ♿ people who are not allowed them to harrassing her own business people who aren't even hates disabled people.
Just.....NO, allowing her to walk in a runway show is just another way of giving her a participation trophy. She is not a model she doesn't look like one she doesn't walk like one and the clothes doesn't look good on her this is ridiculous
Wrong
She's beautiful God loves her much
Maddie doesn't have a clue what's going on
Shes so cute
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I love her... idc
The mother is dilution all!! Saying she will walk with the hottest guy there!! Her daughter certainly is beautiful but she has the mentality of a four year old, so to think she is going to find a super model to date her is not realistic!!
The mother is living her dreams through her daughter. Somewhere else, someone said she should have a back up plan. What would that be?? Bagging groceries?
No she doesnt.
@@helixmoore7636 then show me moments where madeline talks a lot about her career.
@@DoNotLookAtMe thanks for calling out her greedy ableist mum
She is one beautiful young woman
So beautiful ♡
Some of these comments actually disgust me. I understand some parents use their children for fame and money but all of a sudden because this girl has a disability, automatically the mum's pinned as a monster. Just a tip to those out there, just because someone has a disability doesn't mean they are being taken adventage of. Try to imagine what it must be like seeing your son/daughter constantly stared at, made fun of or just generally unaccepted by the public. Look at how much Madeline has made a difference, yet instead lets all get judgy because we all cleary know what it's like to have down syndrome or have a loved one be socially unaccepted for their diability. I can't imagine the feeling of just wanting your child to have a happy life as they grow into adulthood yet knowing that no matter what just because of their disability they will never have that.
It must have been hard to make such a big decision to put her daughter out there for the whole world to judge, but knowing that that risk might be the thing that changes the game for people with down syndrome not to mention with disabilities in general. Instead she could just be as she said "over protective" and shield Madeline from any expeirences because, oh what would people say? Why can't she be a model, because she has down syndrome? Says a lot about your way of thinking, be a little open minded. People with disabilities aren't supposed to be hidden away from public view, their not animals.
Ever heard of Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
@@brytanniparrett you really just saw this and thought everyone was gonna agree with you 💀 did you even read the comment
@@levvihaha4264 um. I comment to speak my mind. I'm not sure what you're saying. Lmfao.
