I couldn't believe this when I heard it on the news. The mother is an aesthetician. The child is a little girls' beauty pageant competitor. The mother gives the child Botox to keep her looking young (?!!?). Where does she get the Botox? Who taught her how to inject it? What does the father think and what does the child think? She also waxes the child's body. How much body hair does an 8-year-old even have? I've seen "Toddlers and Tiaras" and it just made me want to throw my shoe through the television. That whole child beauty pageant thing just gives me the shivers. It's one thing for a little girl to wear a beautiful dress (like for her first communion, Christmas or Easter, or as a flower girl in a wedding), and even to have pretty hair or wear a hat or veil, but the pageants are quite another.

I think in Illinois you have to be a physician, physician's assistant or RN to give it. But I could be wrong.
