JonBenet Ramsey was a child beauty pageant participant who was heavily involved by her parents as an extension of their ego, though she privately disliked the pressure of pageants. While she was a skilled performer, she was also a chronic bedwetter with behavior problems unknown to outsiders. Her mother took her to the doctor thirty times in three years, indicating serious issues.

1. JonBenet Ramsey was, by all evidence, an extension of her parents' ego. She told family friends she didn't like the pressure of the pageants (although some pageant mothers challenge that assessment.) She was already such a consummate performer, made up to a womanly perfection, that few outsiders knew she was a chronic bedwetter who reportedly had serious behavior problems. Her mother took her to the pediatrician thirty times in three years. http://nightlight.typepad.com/nightlight/2006/08/doll_parts_for_.html
