Mother gives 8-year-old daughter Botox injections

I saw on the news today that it was all a hoax.

Lock that whack-job up and forget where they put the key!

Didn't they show the little girl being injected, though? If not Botox, then what was it?

It would be easy to fake an injection, simply by holding a syringe without a needle right up to the skin. That way it would appear the the needle part is all the way in.
But I think it was real, and the mother didn't think it would escalate to what it did. Pretty sad thing to do for a crummy $200.
I haven't heard any more, but last was, that the state took the little girl away from her, pending an investigation. Seriously sick mother! Seems this news has taken a back seat with all the other events and tragedies going on lately.

Too be honest, this doesn't really surprise me, you hear about weird parenting everyday. I don't understand it either, but it's sadly what people believe to be right. Toddlers and Tiaras is a really stupid show, my sister watches it sometimes. While they might be cute, it really is disgusting how they act. I remember one episode where a little 5 or 6 year old cried because she WANTED braces. She threw a tantrum over it and everything. Her mom caved in and she cried about how much they hurt and got them taken off. Talk about being reined in. I really don't have sympathy for these parents, I don't understand that type of warped thinking.

This is apparently cute to some people. I can't believe how the mom just sits there and takes it. Oh god, if I was ever like that at that age...
