    Thumbs down Botox injections for 8-year old kiddie pageant contestant

    Mom Gives Botox to 8-Year-Old Daughter: How Young Is Too Young?

    8-year-old Britney and her mom, Kerry, prepare for a Botox treatment.
    Botox injections and leg waxing on an 8-year-old girl, all in the name of beauty pageant success, all done by her own mom.




    It sounds too unreal to be true, like a storyline straight out of "When Stage Moms Go Bad."

    It's not.

    It's real life for an 8-year-old California girl.

    We spoke with the girl, Britney, and her mom, Kerry, to learn exactly why they turned to Botox, and exactly how young is too young when it comes to using medical treatments for the sake of beauty.

    Kerry, who asked that her family's last name not be used, told "Good Morning America's" Lara Spencer that it was actually her daughter, Britney, who wanted to try Botox, a beauty treatment more normally requested by aging women than growing girls.

    "We were getting into the pageants," Kerry recalled. "I knew she was complaining about her face, having wrinkles, and things like that. When I brought it up to Britney she was all for it."

    So Kerry, a San Francisco, Calif.-based, part-time aesthetician and no stranger to Botox herself, having done the treatment on her own face, began injecting her daughter with the anti-wrinkle solution.

    "She had watched me do it before," said Kerry. "So when we first did it she was fine with it."

    Kerry typically administers the Botox to Britney through a total of five shots, in three different locations on her face.

    But can Botox really make a difference on a young girl who has not even had time in her life to develop the "worry" lines or age creases Botox is typically sought out to erase?

    "The few times that we did it, it would lessen the lines," said Kerry. "They wouldn't completely disappear, she's a kid. And we don't do so much to where it's going to make a big difference."

    But it's enough of a difference for Kerry and Britney to continue on with the treatments, despite the pain.

    "It hurts sometimes," said Britney. "It makes me nervous. But I get used to it."

    While Britney thinks about the physical pain, critics in the medical community contend that administering Botox this early raises another type of more lasting pain: the potential for permanent psychological damage.

    "Well, when I first heard this story, I think my initial reaction is to be a little bit in disbelief, and a little bit horrified," said Dr. Charles Sophy, a psychiatrist. "There's a lot of psychological damage that can be caused."

    "I'm a great mother. I've taken care of her by myself my whole life," she said. "And nobody can really tell me what I'm doing is wrong. Because it's me. I live in my shoes. And she lives in hers."
    "I'm a great mother. I've taken care of her by myself my whole life." Oh, she treats her daughter like shit, probably because she didn't go far in any pageant or she always wished she had competed in one, she's now going to force her dreams on her daughter, but, she did it by herself. Give her a fucking medal, she's obviously earned it.

    These beauty pageants should be banned, They give young girls a false sense of worth and the parents involved abuse their children.

    One of the few things I agree with my mother on. I was picked for a pageant to represent my school when I was 16, and my mother wouldn't let me because she thinks they're degrading to women.

    The sexualization of young girls bothers me too. My parents would not have let me out of the house wearing some things that young girls, some even as young as 10, wear today.

    Plus, this woman is not a doctor. She could inject the botox in the wrong spot and that could kill her. People have died from botox injections administered by people posing as doctors.

    Such contests are fine for sexually mature individuals, but not for children, even less so for small children, worst if being dressed up like sluts and drag queens even at times, in completely artificial and absurd roles, fostering just a corrupted attitude and false ideal of superficial, commercial, cheap trash as the primary goal of life.

    Her daughter should have been removed from her custody.
    Indeed, the mother is not right in the head...

    Stupidity at it's finest. The child should have been taken away as fast as possible. Children having beauty pageants seems like pedophiles dream come true. Worrying that such thing do exist. Many women see pageants as nothing more than objectification of them, and I would not disagree, even when the constants are adults it should not be encouraged. Scary thing is this, I mean what kind of a message does this send to your daughters.

    Mother argues they want daughter to be a star. Probably child is as mentally handicaped as mother: a sane girl of eight would recognize her mother's behaviour as ridiculous, just by comparison with other families and ask to stop the shameful procedure. Or not! Maybe Californian society is full of morons, specially at sick rotten communities like Hollywood, probably filled with the worst trash of America and their ridiculous dreams...just remember what I posted before in another thread: if Fray Junipero Serra raise his head!
