We reported last week on Alki Elementary student Vanessa Radke‘s trip to New York as a semifinalist in the TODAY show’s Kid Reporter contest. Today, her video was shown, and voting began – you can watch her video above; you can go to this page on the TODAY site to vote for her. (There’s also a cell-phone-text-voting option listed on that page.) Voting runs till 2 pm our time tomorrow afternoon, and then Vanessa will find out Wednesday if she’s moving on to the finals.

Although the idea is great, these people are selling their children out to fame. Paper bag please? Come on, I’m excited for her, but let the child get an education before making a spectacle out of her on national tv. I will not vote for something so ridiculous.

Sorry, comment time is over.
