Mother gives 8-year-old daughter Botox injections

[wombat2u2004]

Yeah, they had a show on that the other night on TV....bloody terrible.
My eldest daughter did a lot of TV work from when she was 2yo up until 15yo.
We never did a thing other than make her hair look tidy.

That is insane. The childs face has not finished developening yet.
Botox is after all a poison. Yes it has been used for over 20 years safely but in a person so young, long term side effects are not something I would want to think about.
This I would consider child abuse. Mom needs some therapy.

That is just disgusting & insane.. How much younger does a 8 yr old need to look.. And 8 yr old do not grow that much hair to do waxing.. This child must be in total pain due to needles & waxing.. Hell I cant stand needles or waxing.. I would say do it to the mom each day & see how she feels.. Oh yes I Hate that Child Beauty Show stuff..

I think the authorities are looking into it. I feel sorry for the little girl. How can she grow up with self esteem? Thank God I love my wrinkles and graying hair. It's who I am and I earned every line and gray strand. It's what inside that counts. I hope the girl learns that.

Now she says she didn't really do it and that she was lying - to gain attention and some $$$$. She's lying all right - but which one is the lie??? IMO - it's the 2nd lie - in an attempt to get her daughter back. Obviously she never thought the state would take her away.

Boy - what a role model for her daughter.........

I hope whatever the truth is, the daughter gets some serious counseling, or her teenage years are gonna be awful. But the follow says the woman and her daughter were playing characters, she was paid $200 to pretend to be "Kerry Campbell" and tell that story, that's not even her name!

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