I think there was some follow-up news about the child being taken away from the mother.

Kerry Campbell loses custody of daughter Britney after botox admission

A Californian woman has allegedly lost custody of her daughter after telling ABC that she had injected botox into her daughter’s face ahead of a beauty pageant.

Kerry Campbell apparently admitted that she had used botox on her 8-year-old daughter Britney to get rid of wrinkles ahead of a pageant. The San Francisco Human Services Agency then apparently launched an investigation into the unusual claim.

Botox is generally administered by a trained medical practitioner, partly because there can be complications. It is sometimes used for children, but for medical rather than cosmetic reasons. Botox is said to be safe, but 97% of respondents to an ABC poll still claimed that they were against the idea of giving the stuff to such a young girl.

That wouldn't surprise me. The media generally have somewhat ok standards, however the tabloids like The Sun, which is the newspaper that is supposed to have payed her to tell this story, they're rotten to the core. They'll make up stories, lie and do anything else just to sell, sell and sell newspapers. They're a good example of the todays cynical business world, they manipulate people being the buyers who represent the supply factor to buy stuff or shit they don't really need. Today it's more about making a product appear good than to actually make a good product and sell it.

Shitty day...

all of those pageant 'mothers' are obese

Some mothers are crazy. When I was a baby, someone wanted to hire me to advertise. My mother said no because he thought child exploitation. Between child advertising and surgery, I believe there is a pretty big difference.

If this is an invention of the media, it seems to me to make a crash because it's disgusting. In fact, in Spain would have a penalty because the children are specifically protected.

Wait...WHAT? Sick!!! What does an 8 year old need botox for? really, taking your kid to a sex club or a pub is way better parenting than this.

It makes me sick to see such young children, especially girls being hurried into maturity.
