OK, people with Trisomy 21 are NOT mental patients.
There are plenty of ways that parents pressure children - little miss America pageants come to mind, as does the teen / pre-teen cage fighting in the UK. The issue here is not the event, but the pushy parents. You are "playing the man, not the ball" - banning something in case it is misused - which happens to be what you wanted banned in any case.

Zelots are equally adrenaline junkies. When they're not invading your space by knocking on your door, some moron is screeching that God loves me through a loudspeaker on the street...

In fact, I've never, ever been bothered by someone who is gay (maybe I'm just ugly...) but the number of religious fanatics who have wasted in total hours of my time is legion.
