8-Year-Old Who Gets Botox Says She Looks Like “Pretty Words”

Posted by Rachel Adler May 12, 2011 12:50 pm 150Comments

We were stunned to learn about a Kerry Campbell, a mother who was injecting her 8-year-old daughter Britney with Botox awhile back, and then even more shocked to also find out she subjected her child to “virgin waxes,” and this morning the mother was interviewed on Good Morning America by Lara Spencer to talk about the experience, and the reasoning behind it.

The interview tugs at your heart strings, with Britney saying “I do it but it hurts sometimes, but I get used to it.” And then Spencer has her point out where her mom injects her with the Botox. Then, when Spencer asks her what she does it for, she replies “I don’t know.” Which mother Kerry quickly lets out a bit of a shocked gasp and Britney corrects herself, saying “Oh yeah, I do it because I see wrinkles and um, it just like I just like don’t think wrinkles are nice for little girls.”

Apparently Kerry began giving Britney Botox to help her keep up in the pageant world but Kerry confesses that it was her decision, Britney did not ask her for it. What’s worse, is we’re shown photos from after Britney’s Botox “treatments” holding ice to her injection spots, seemingly bruised and puffy.

Spencer asked Britney if she thinks she looks better with the injections, and she replied, “It looks way better. Like beautiful, pretty, like all those kinds of nice words.” Sadly, if she just wants to look like the “pretty words” then something is terribly wrong here.

    Sooo disturbing. Vanity is never an excuse for child abuse and neglect, not to mention I have a hard time believing her mom is licensed to administer Botox.

  • Heather

    This was so disturbing I stopped watching less then half way in.

  • Nicole

    I’m infuriated! The fact that she tried to even JUSTIFY why she does it infuriates me off even more. An 8 year old doesn’t have wrinkles. Her daughter didn’t want the botox. She simply talked her daughter into doing it & now her daughter is brainwashed into thinking that botox makes her prettier, more beautiful, etc. I feel bad for this little girl. I can’t help but think that she’ll have alot of self-esteem/self-confidence issues later on in life.

  • chrissie russo

    This is child abuse, plain and simple. I can’t understand why child protective services have not paid this family a visit.

  • Andy

    Part of the abuse is telling the girl she isn’t beautiful just as God made her. This tradjedy seems to affect every female and some males born after 1978 (about)
    Why were girls in the ’70s and early ’80s more confident, less likely to engage in ### and more self-assured?
    Was it a growing lack of fathers? increased sexualization in the media? (or is that a symptom?) Graphic ### ed?
    It could be a tough time to be a kid or a parent.

  • Becky

    I couldn’t finish this, made me sick. What the #### is wrong with this mother?! Britney is in serious need of being removed from her care. That is child abuse, the psychological damage that is being done to this girl is beyond words.

  • Cindy

    This is child abuse. Forget the vanity stuff. This is child abuse. The mother should be monitored and….lawmakers should pass legislation forbidding the use of cosmetic surgery and treatments such as these, from being performed on minors.

  • pat

    where is the mother getting botox from? and why hasn’t she been charged with abuse? they were on TV and not turned in to have this stopped..that show should be fined or something

  • Renee

    What do you even say? I watched this while getting my 4 yr old ready for a class trip to a farm. She and I were chatting about animals she might see and maybe(fingers crossed) get to pet. Me- so excited by her excitement, her-so happy about her trip on the “big kid’s’ bus. That is the kind of experiences a mommy and little girl should be sharing. Encouraging and joining in your child ‘s critique of her appearance and then stabbing her little cheeks with a needle full of poison? This woman is a MONSTER, my heart breaks for that poor little girl.

  • Gina

    This makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ANGRYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so want to slap the mom in the face but unlike her I don’t cross boundaries, this is bizarre and so messed up, she is setting wrong examples to this young lady and later this young lady will be confused, lost, passing bad judgment on others cause all she learned is if you got wrinkles, blemishes or anything on your face, body etc… that you are not beautiful but really what is beautiful is the good that is inside of your own hearts. Everyone is unique and is beautiful in their own way, this young lady has no need for any altercations to any part of her body. I not sure if she should be removed from the mom’s custody but something for sure needs to be done and action needs to be taking fast. In the end this is just making me so ANGRY, need a break from this story! SICK!

  • Gina

    All I can say is this is just SICK and the mom is mentally unstable to think this is a good thing to do to a young lady. ANGER and wanting action to be taking with this mother, that is what I want to know about happening. I want the authorities to get going and fast on this case.

  • James

    This woman should be arrested….

  • Rich

    I’m a 35 year old father of two beautiful girls, 12 & 14… I would NEVER do this to them. Women starting from a young age need to know that they are beautiful just the way they are. I got about 25 seconds into the video before I had to stop because my heart hurt so much for this little girl. The mother, who because of her own failings is attempting to live vicariously through her baby girl and is causing great damage to the little one’s self esteem. She should be ordered to stop or face the removal of the child from her custody.

  • Simon Buckingham

    In New Zealand and most other countries in the Western world, this would class as child abuse. Come on US… Consent as an adult to medical treatment or beauty treatment is one thing, but this torture? This is why many people in the world consider the US to be somewhat backwards. Whilst this is an extreme example, if we sexualise our children and make social views of stick insect beauty with abnormally huge breasts, pouty lips and skinny everything else the norm, especially with our children, then we are ripe for ridicule and scorn from anyone else. I am not anti US. I am anti child abuse.

  • emily

    why even do pageants? she’s eight….

  • molly

    I’ve heard some crazy stories but this is too much. How can she get away with this?

  • Evelyn

    Where is CPS? This child needs protection from her mother.

  • Ituri

    Just so you all know, the little girl is NO LONGER IN THIS MOTHERS CUSTODY. CPS took her away, clearly a good thing too.

    And to you non-American commenters using this to stereotype and talk down about the USA, are you joking with that? Every American with a brain will tell you this is abuse, and as soonn as CPS got wind of it the girl was taken away. And you call that “backwards,” why? Because nobody knew what was going on before now? Come on, use your head.

  • Marie

    bad parenting….

  • Marie

    omg, how can she compare herself to her child…its fine if she wants to inject herself, but not her child, and i wonder who is prescribing this botox and if they are are aware of it being used on kids.. im pretty sure they know.. which i can only say is that they need to also be punished.. i have a hard time believing that she herself has the authorization to inject botox on a child….

  • pamik

    This should be considered child abuse! The mother is an idiot!

  • pamik

    This mom is nutzzzz! Should be considered child abuse! Poor kid. I see therapy in her future.

  • Samantha

    @ChrissieRusso: Agreed. I can’t understand how this woman is on television and in the news and still has custody of this kid. Alot of people are saying: ” The kid didnt even ask for it!!” Even if she did ask for it, she’s 8 freaking years old! My kid could ask for a Corvette at 8 they aren’t getting it. Good grief. Next we will see this woman and others like her, getting breast implants for their daughters. These women are deranged and psychotic. These pageants should be banned immediately.

  • Jamie

    As disturbing as this is, can we really be surprised? She is physically and mentally feeding
    her child garbage, but so many women and men do it to their own children just in a different form.
    We tell our daughters that they NEED to lose weight, to color their hair, to wear make-up. This
    mother just chose to use Botox to brainwash and lower her child’s self esteem, but so many
    parents are guilty of doing the same. As adults we need to focus on our skills and talents, so that
    our children will learn to appreciate the same things. Beauty fades, it’s time we stopped being so
    obsessed with what we can’t control.

  • kat

    This should be illegal.. don’t you need a license to administer botox? is it not regulated

    and what is a Virgin Wax.

    Poor kid.. this is child abuse!!

  • Tina

    poor little girl, what a sick mother

  • Lou

    This little girls mother wants her daughter to be what she could not when she was a young girl. Shame on her. The mother should be focusing on her daughters weight, she’s starting to look like her mother. you people are sick, if you think your kids love all this rejection they get from these stupid so called beauty Pagent’s . Let them be little girls, I’m sure your your daughter would rather do other things with you that does not put so much pressure on her. Stop living your life thru your daughter and start being a mom.

  • Brenda

    omg is it legal I doubt it.I believe the mom has some issues with her looks and seems she may need guidance in where she thinks its ok to do this. I feel bad for the 8 year old taught not to be beautiful or just a natueral at her age my god. Mom you have some issues here please address them

    Brenda.

  • Vinnie

    SO SICK!! PURE ‘LEGAL’ CHILD ABUSE!! The pageant world is a group of very disturbed individuals to say the least in my opinion! I would rather watch a playground full of happy, messy little girls enjoying a day with their friends then to ever watch a pageant where they learn to pick each other apart to the point of this! Sad and disgusting!

  • Julia Saxon

    I couldnt finish watching it either. Disgusting. Mother is ugly and probably could not be successful with her own appearence, so she trie to make everything to make her doughter pritter to some day make money on her. Very stupid and selfish. By the way, she needs to be told that no botox will help her doughter if she is not pretty by nature. she is just a common girl. The ugly mother should be punished for taking aa childhood from her doughter

  • sarasusan

    When I see these pageant kids it is disturbing.They are made to be mimniature adults, and robbed of their childhoods. They are spoiled brats and absolutely disrespectful to their parents. The mothers should be working, not the child. When I see theses these kids and the way they perform I’m sorry to say they truly appear as little s____ts. My daughter had a friend who was a film star who is now dead, but in 2nd grade she was so sheltered that even at school she could not even go out to recess and play because God forbid she would get hurt or have a mark on her body .How Pathetic! When she came to my home She was not allowed outside along with another list of instructions,

  • liz manugian

    Child abuse, plain and simple. The mother has a serious psychological and self-image problem that she is projecting onto her now not-to-innocent child who, in all probability, will disintegrate at age 30 when there aren’t enough in the way of treatments out there to treat the lack of self-esteem inculcated in her from her childhood by her own mother. She, and others who engage in this nefarious practice, ought to be publicly ostracized and more. What a waste of a child.

  • Karen

    This is the most dangerous think a parent can do to their child, where is the child protection services, why hasn’t anyone called them an toldthem this. It is not onlyphysically doing damage to this child it is mentally and spiritual breakingher down. I would beat the hockeysticks out of this women if I wre ever in her presences. Botox really…?

  • Nancy

    Botox is poison, plain and simple. It paralyzes the muscles that it is shot into. I’m really not sure what the long-term health concerns will be for people who inject botulism into their bodies for years, expecially starting at 8-years-old. Shame on the TV show that paid her to be there. Shame on everyone involved in this. I am choosing to grow old gracefully, and naturally. No one stays young looking forever. I can’t even recall seeing someone with a face lift look really good. For the most part they have kind of a martian shiny look about them. Wrinkles are caused by a life of fun and laughter. I cherish mine.

  • meg0813

    this is so disturbing on so many levels. the mom doesnt even look, talk, or act like she is qualified in any way to administer any kind of injections…and she doesnt even get her botox from a source she is comfortable with admiting to. this should be illegal, and she should be thrown in jail for hild abuse. this poor girl is going to grow up with a disturbed idea of what ‘pretty’ is. she is going to need years of therapy and counseling to get past this. my heart goes out to the little girl, and all the other little girls whose evil mothers do this to them. pagentry should be illegal.

  • Joy

    This is child abuse. Plain and simple. I am furious!

  • ray

    will someone who knows where she lives please call ‘Child Protective Services’ immediately.

    Please get this child away from this monster.

  • Samantha

    hello, child protective services….you there?
    this is disturbing

  • chele

    DFACS is on its way, I hope–that is the sickest $hit ever. Child abuse is illegal, is it not? I hope her mother burns in ####.

  • niggerbot

    i think as long as the child is willing and able to receive botox, it is all good. i mean the mother was only doing it for the best.

  • ehop

    to simon buckingham, sounds like you’re anti-US . FYI, this article is from the US, so, obviously, they don’t all think alike. America is a bit bigger than NZ you know, so you always have conflicting opinions. As these warped mothers are obsessed with beauty to the point of administering botox to their 8 yr olds, there are many US mothers who won’t allow their children to wear an ounce of make-up until they are 18 yrs old. You do realize that in a country of circa 300 million people, there are varying opinions? Question though, if the US is so backwards, why does everyone want to emulate it? If you comment , stick to the subject. It’s sick what this woman is doing, no matter what country she comes from.

  • Bamboo

    Child Abuse – Child Services needs to be on to this woman now!

  • Erick

    How is this not criminal child abuse? I’m shocked that the “parent” hasn’t been put behind bars yet.

  • Grandma

    Can you say “Child Abuse”? Why is this mother not being locked up? Where is the father?
    Total insanity!

  • Trazier

    Well now that the casony anthony case is decided, it’s time to bring some felony child abuse charges up on this twit.

    FFS 8 year old kids don’t have wrinkles, what is wrong with this lady, and when will she stop? Why not tear out all her child’s teeth because dentures look more perfect? Why not get her stomach stapled so she always has that emaciated look people think is so hot? Why not break her legs and insert stretching instruments because tall models are more popular? When will the insanity end?

  • Kay

    This mother needs to be Placed on a hook and Gutted for the Pig she is!!!!!

  • Nina

    This mom needs some serious examination, not physical,
    but mental.
    Children are our treasure, not our toys!!!!!!!

  • the_dude

    The answer is simple……

    Mandatory IQ tests for any prospective parent. If they fail the test then it requires a forced sterilization.

  • BuddyB

    This was revealed as a hoax some time ago. The mom accepted payment to pretend she was giving her child botox.

  • giselle

    I don’t think the lady from NZ was criticizing Americans, saying they, as people, think this is ok. I think she was asking why the heck there is not a law against administering such chemicals, or whatever, to children. That’s all. I’m sure there are lots of differing opinions in every nation of the world, no matter how small.
    I think Americans (& I am one) are way too sensitive about being criticized, because we’re starting to realize the rest of the world has some bones to pick with us & our ego-centric perspective on the world. Criticize me if you like, but I’ve lived overseas for some time now, & have had the chance to hear many peoples’ thoughts & feelings. They are not anti-US, they just want us to acknowledge the validity of some other cultures & opinions.

  • Kim

    Is anyone really surprised?

  • Confetti

    The mom is poisoning the child. Literally. Where is CPS?

  • Karen

    Brittany’s mother is garbage. She lies and she’s living through her daughter. The mother is unattractive and Brittany, although a cute little girl, is no future beauty queen. And, her answers to questions reveal a lot of coaching. This is a little girl whose ownership of her own body has been taken by her mother. SICK. This is a form of abuse and this woman should be warned that she’ll be jailed if this continues. Where is this little girl’s childhood? Where is her freedom of will?

  • P

    This is so wrong. But I want to know where NANCY GRACE is on this…She can help make this a worldwide story and save this little gitl.

  • Nancy Palmer

    This woman needs to be charged with child abuse and this child needs a child advocate to stand up for her. No 8yr old child needs injections or other treatments at this young age. People have gone crazy to spotlight their child and as this child gets older, she (not the mother) will suffer horribly from damages caused from these earlier injections.

  • Linnea Heaverlo

    How can this be legal? Injecting a poison into a minor with no medical rational reason should be a crime as far as I’m concerned….let’s hope the mother gets arrested for child endangerment and abuse! Not to mention the mother’s actions have told this little girl at this young age that she’s just not good enough….great………….shame on you, woman-raising-child….certainly not going to call you mom! No loving mother would do this to their child.

  • DaMeglet

    Does anyone even know what botox does in the long run when you give it to a kid? This woman could be destroying her child’s face. What if she ends up looking like a methhead? What if she has a severe infection and winds up with the Grand Canyon right in the middle of her face? And for what? Mom is doing it for herself! The pageant moms always come out on top! The kids just end up looking like #### when they grow up and hating themselves for never being pretty enough for mom.

  • Suzy

    Someone, please take that child away from her!!!!

  • Willow

    I agree with Rich who said, “The mother, who because of her own failings is attempting to live vicariously through her baby girl and is causing great damage to the little one’s self esteem. She should be ordered to stop or face the removal of the child from her custody.” This is totally outrageous. I continue to be surprised at the things people do to others and actually get away with it!

  • Janice

    This is clearly boarding on the very least of “mental” abuse. How did we get to this place in Americal wherein a mother can clearly be exhibiting some “sick” ideas about her own child and be allowed to show, even discuss this on national television without any reprecussions? Where does this family live? Has anyone called in the Child Protective services? Imagine, if this is how her mother is “responding” to a mother’s love for a child, how much worse will this get as the child gets older? I pray God puts it on the heart of those who can to DO SOMETHING before this child suffers any longer. And yes, I say suffer! Imagine what is going this child’s mind each and every day and how many of mother’s comments are being thrown at her day in and day out about her looks and what needs to be done to improve them! What is the criteria in the state they are in for “mental/emotional abuse? SAD, SAD, SAD. I hope somewhere someone cares enough to intercede in this case. It may take more than one call to the child abuse hotline, but I think we need to do what is right for this poor child; as mother clearly is not! There is something wrong with a mother who would gladly and without reservation, continue to insist her 8yo child is not “pretty/precious” enough.

  • tim

    Sick. No 8 year old asks for Botox without prompting from adults…and waxing OMG!!! This mother is no mother. What a psycho. Arrest this “lady” for child abuse.

  • Mark

    I HATE how this teaches a little girl that the objectification of women is acceptable!!!! Oh wait, what are the ads on this page? Pink? Oh, there’s a hot young blind in a t-shirt and THONG. Oh, and more shots of that hot young blond. And a montage of that hot young blond. I take it back – clearly women are objects. Thank you Pink and Beauty High for setting me straight!

  • Mark

    hehe, I meant “blond” but wrote “blind.” I guess I was so distracted by the thongs, well, you know.

  • alex

    wow thry need to lock this woman up wtf is wrong with these people……. Yet another reason why people need to take a test and licensed before they can have children

  • jeff

    Woman can be so nutty, men i’m sure do worse things, but you don’t see us on national television talking about it! If that was my nutty wife i would have injected that botox into her eye balls… YOU HAVE WRINKLES TOO BABE!, BRITNEY GO TO YOUR ROOM.

  • Aaron

    She does not want to look like pretty words. – Either you are using incorrect grammar, which changes the context of the original statement, or you are not quoting the child. Period. Either change the “quotation” Or get the kid to actually say this. You can’t take 3 words out of a sentence, then change the structure so terribly badly that it means she says something completely different. That’s like taking 4 words out of your story to create the sentence – “Botox Wrinkles little girls!”. Yes, those words are in your story, but you and I know damn well that’s not what you said.

  • Michael

    This mom is sick. The American government should protect this child from her mom. What will she do next – have breast implants? Where is the father? Does he agree with the parental abuse?

  • j.a

    Botox is a toxin. Someone the size of an 8 year old could be seriously injured depending on the amount and frequincy given this toxin. WHY DOES THIS WOMAN STILL HAVE CUSTODY OF THIS CHILD! SHE IS BEING GIVEN A DANGEROUS TOXIN, SOMEONE IN HER HOME STATE PLEASE HELP HER!

  • Watersisland

    This is a hoax. It’s GOT TO be. No parent would EVER do something like that to their CHILD!
    And besides…..where does the parent get the Botox? It’s a controlled substance sold only to…and intended to be administered by…DOCTORS ONLY. In fact, we had a dr. here in So. FL get charged, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison for causing someones death (a married couple?) He had made his OWN “Botox”. It was TOO strong! It’s a very dangerous substance. Botox..is Botulism toxins….plain and simple. You can’t just go applying it like “Make-up”!!!
    IF this had been real, could you imagine the psychological damage to this young girl? Being told, “You AREN’T pretty enough….and therefore you need to be injected with this poison”???
    This child will NEVER have any self esteem, and ALWAYS feel insecure about her appearance! In ADDITION to….GOD ONLY KNOW”S what the long term effect it will have on physical development. Tha’t why I say…..It HAS to be a JOKE! AH,ha! And you people bought it….lock, stock, and barrel. And if THAT wasn’t enough, they had to throw in the part about the “virgin waxing”…JUST in case you weren’t inflamed enough!!!!! And of course, IF this were true….the police would be at this parents home in a New York MINUTE…taking this child away and criminally charging BOTH parents……probably even the TV station too! Yup….has to be joke..It IS a joke…RIGHT????

  • Watersisland

    Well, I didn’t realize there was a video also. So, I guess I was wrong. BUT….in reading one of the comments below, it appears that this child IS NO LONGER in the custody of her abusive parent. This woman doesn’t have the common sense it would take to raise pet GOLDFISH! Sad to see a child seperated from their parent….but there needed to be STRONG intervention. The entire mentality of “childhood beauty contests” is SICK. NO…I don’t think “outlawing” such events are what’s needed. The PROBLEM…..is the PARENTS. A LACK of childhood beauty contests isn’t going to make the parent behave any differently toward their child. They’re IR-RESPONSIBLE! They’ll be JUST AS WRECKLESS in OTHER avenues of the childs life. I’m sure those of you who are old enough remember the pictures of “Joan Beneit Ramsey”. Any parent that believes THAT’S a healthy way to raise a child ….has ROCKS in their heads. As insensitive as it may seem…..there was something VERY wreckless going on in that family. Just as in this case. Had this child remained with the parent….with no outside intervention to tell her otherwise….what would she have done next? Breast implants by age 12?

  • Anna

    I think that if there is any justice left in this system of ours they will remove that child from that “mother” and put her with people who will love her for who she is not by what she looks like. That woman is slowly killing her child. She is injecting her with a deadly plague. Yes, I know, it is a dulled down, altered form but it is still a deadly plague. This woman is no mother and she should be relieved of that duty. So many little girls have issues about body image thanks to the way to skinny models and the ads that push skinny, paper thin, bony bodies and say that they are the “sexy” ones. I am praying for this child and her mother.

  • Wendy

    This is seriously just wrong……

  • Selena

    i think its ridiculous ! she should be put in jail 4 child abuse let me get a hold of her i will shove a gulf club up her ###!

    Makes me wonder how many of the commenters on here enjoy tripe like the Jersey Shore and the Kardashians. Probably started out watching Jerry Springer. Maybe you fancy a bit of Swamp People or Ice Road Truckers now? Devolution is real.

    seriously who would notice the wrinkles on this little chubby chub tub of lard?

    forget botox – the mom needs to lipo her little fatty face

  • jimmy kraktov

    This girl needs to be taken away from her mother, and her mother needs to be horse-whipped, or shot, or both. This is child abuse at its worst. The mother is beyond help. She’s permanently twisted!

  • Dr. Ron

    I am a physician and before I became one, I received my PhD in clinical psychology. This mother has mental problems which I am comfortable discussing with my colleagues, but without meeting this mother in person, I can not make a definitive diagnosis and must reserve them for myself. But, suffice it to say, she has some issues. She has issues and the world can see she has planted/transplanted some of them into her daughter. If she came into my office and I knew of the situation going on, that child would not be leaving with her mother. DHS would be immediately involved. This is a case of child abuse and the physician getting the Botox to her should be hunted down and prosecuted. The medical board in their state needs to get involved.

  • Coconut

    This is just sick. Disturbing. The mother needs to get some help. Where is the father in all of this ?

  • Bernie Ewell

    Seriously ! What is wrong with this women? She should be examined by the law enforcement community for violations to this child. How dare she touch her, inject BOTOX in an 8 yr old baby and convince this baby that she needs it. That is ludicrous and the mother should be put in jail for child endangerment. she has no idea what harm putting live dangerous bacteria into her child can do to her. This wacko has truly lost her capacity to govern as a mother. Where are the authorities when stories like these come out of thin air? she should be ashamed of herself. That is wrong on so many levels. .

  • Cissy

    OMG

  • TOBIA

    The actual thought of this makes me cringe! Who in their right mind would do such a thing? A beautiful precious little girl? Come on now! My prayers are with this beautiful little girl. The mom ( in my opinion) needs mental help. The mother obviously is on a mission to satisfy her own needs through her precious daughter. This is really a serious issue that needs to be addressed! These pageants have gone way too far! Little girls are already targets in this country for sex offenders! This concept is feeding these perverts! When are we going to wake up?

  • Joan

    I guess none of you read the story that a few days after putting this out for the world to see, the mother admitted that this was all done for publicity. The tests on the little girl showed she had no botox or any other injections, and the story was a huge hoax. I guess a lot of you that posted a few days after this story broke out didn’t get the news. Psychotic that you want to sell a story to the world for money? Yes. But it seems to be the American way now with all the jobs going down the toilet and millions of unemployed are seeking for a quick buck, and what a quicker way to make money than selling your story to media outlets. Don’t worry people, the girl didn’t get the shots, i would still worry however if that woman was my mother and told me to lie to get rich.

  • ronald wales

    what is that girl going to be like when she is 21 years of age??????grown up self inflickted idoit-is that not child abuse-sticking her with needles in her face—————–LET ME DO IT TO YOU——IT DID NOT TAKE LONG TO KNOW THAT IT IS PAINFULL—-now what is the problem with putting charges of child deviantcy.when the girl has children what will be ok for for her to do to her child???

    Where i come from parents lose custody of their children if the do not act with responsability towards them. In another country nearby anyone could take out a civil action against this sort of treatment. This child may well grow up believing that only medical/chemical stimulants can make her beautiful, in reality a perpetual unsatisfied.

  • Mia

    I don’t know… I’m just shocked… How can a mother do this to her own child?! And in my opinion, the mother like getting paid for winning the pageants, that’s why she does that. I think there’s something wrong mentally with the mother. Just horrible!

  • joyce

    This is child abuse,the mother should be arrested.She is trying to make the daughter inbto something she will never be.PRETTY.THIS IS A REAL CASE OF CHILD ABUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND REMOVE THAT CHILD IMMEDIATLY.

  • Bobbi

    Why isn’t this mother in jail for child abuse? NO WAY should a child be given injections of any kind unless it’s to save her life. It’s time these “pageant moms” paid a price for their abuse of these beautiful little girls. Maybe they need to stop holding these beauty pageants for anyone under 18 or, at the very least, disallow anyone who gets anything artificial to improve their looks. This has gotten totally out of control and these children don’t have a “normal” life. Jail and fine the moms; they deserve it.

  • Mary

    And this isn’t considered child abuse. It’s illegal in this country for any one under the age of 18 (in some states 17) to get a tattoo. The person who gives the tat is subject to be sued for it. This woman is an extremely poor example of a good parent and has the gaul to publicly admit her abusive ways and not get punished. Shame on you for not protecting this poor innocent child.

    WHAT I’VE READ IS UNBELIEVABLE. HOW CAN A MOTHER SIT THERE AND GIVE HER 8YR OLD DAUGHTER BOTOX SO SHE CAN LOOK PRETTY. I HAVE SOME VERY UNPLEASANT WORDS TO SAY TO THAT MENTALLY CHALLENGE WOMAN (NOT MOTHER). THIS IS A BABY AND SHE SIT THERE AND HAVE THIS LITTLE GIRL WORRYING ABOUT GETTING WRINKLES. WHERE’S CPS WHEN U NEED THEM. THIS IS IN THE MEDIA SHOWING THIS IS NEGLECT AND CHILD ABUSE. THIS WOMAN HAS ISSUES AND SHE KILLING HER CHILD AND SHE DONT EVEN SEE IT. I’M SICK TO MY STOMACH FROM THIS AND I PRAY THE CPS COME IN AND TAKE THE CHILD FROM THE MOTHER UNTIL SHE GET HER SELF TOGETHER.

  • JRTENN

    This child needs to be temporarily removed from her mother…NOW, for her safety.

  • mike

    This mother should go to jail!

  • Bogart

    Who cares, if she wants to do that to her child thats between her and god.

  • Ashline

    It is not between her and god anymore, that kid doesn’t want to have to get a needle shoved into her face every time her mother sees “wrinkles”. When asked she even said “i don’t know,” and then corrected herself when her mother acted shocked.

  • Jackie

    This Mom is beyond nuts she need botox injected in her butt to clear up the wrinkle in her brain she is sitting on.

  • Beautifulwitch

    Insanity. Maybe protective services should and needs to look in on this mother who imposes her inferiority complex on an 8-year-old.

  • momof5

    Ok, so this is a hoax. I’ve got that. But why? Why would someone want to set themselves up for such ridicule? Why would the TV station pay for this? Why does this poor child have to be taught that you can say anything someone wants to hear if it means you’ll get money for it? First you learn to say anything for money; what comes next? You DO anything for money. So the mom here is not truely abusing her child by injecting a poison/drug, but she is abusing that child by injecting horrible values, a horrible premise that leads down a slippery slope. Go ahead rest of the world, criticize us for being backwards. Because we really are backwards when money drives us to do such idiotic things to the folks God gave us charge of. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. This mom loves money more than she loves the future woman she is supposed to be raising.

  • teethscrape

    I don’t see what is wrong with what this mother is doing. all she is doing is preparing her daughter for the real world, where all pretty women get these cosmetic treatments. without the treatments obviously this child believes she is not pretty, so instead of letting the child go into depression and perhaps doing something self-destructive later on, perhaps these cosmetic injections are helping her cope.

  • Squid Burns

    This is awesome! I can’t wait to have kids and experiment with them like this lady! I never new you could do this legally!!!

  • Typical

    I don’t know….I mean if it makes the kid look hotter……is that really a bad thing? Besides, if she starts working on her looks now maybe she will not turn out like the typical out of shape, over weight woman of today.

  • typical@hotmail.com

    Why are you all so mad…..she is a little cutie.

  • marilies schoepflin

    the mother should be charged with child abuse.

  • Joe Fightmaster

    Wow. This is just getting out of hand. Botox? Virgin Wax? 8 years old???? Gee, this would never lead to anything bad happening, would it? What is next? Dress her up like Demey Moore and put her on a date with a 4 year old, so she can be Americas youngest couger?
    Seroiusly, this is just SICK. WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN PROTECTIVE SERVICE PEOPLE? PLEASE TELL ME WE ARE NOT GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS.

  • Amy

    Child abuse.

  • Amy

    Arrest that mother for child abuse and child endangerment. Aside from the face that injecting Botox into an 8 year old is just wrong, it is also potentially life threatening.

  • xue

    this mom is sick.. all those “justifications” are weak… britney is just a kid, who cannot think properly for herself yet.. the talk she had with her daughter are just to brainwash her daughter to do botox!

  • mark barrera

    “It takes a village to raise a child,” and this village is letting this child down by allowing her mother to invade and manipulate her body with drug-like injections. The little girls will always wonder why society let her mother do this to her.

  • Leslie

    I am so angry with these moms who expect to have children just to introduce them to the prostitute ways. The child is a baby who needs to enjoy childhood not adult life. These moms are sick in the head and all they think about is beauty and fancy fashionable clothes and no values or morals in life. They grow up to become spoily brattys without any manners and will eventually grow up to think about what man has money and to take care of me and my bitchy ways. The mother needs to be taken to a counselor or psychologist to help her with issues she hasn’t resolved yet. The child should be at CPS for emotional and mentally abuse ways and who knows what else. These beauty pageants #### needs to stop if they are going to join let them be naturally pretty like babies or children not like hookers or out of control tramps. I don’t blame anyone but the MOTHER who is raising her child. Stupied drug addict and alcoholic, abusive MOTHERS. DOn’t you guys agree with me? SAD and a STRESSFUL LIFE TO BE A CHILD DOING GROWN UP STUFF. LET ME LIVE TO BE A CHILD FIRST.

  • c

    this is child abuse pure and simple….what next? tattoos for a six yr old…?

  • Bruce Reed

    OMG…what’s next; dating adult men? I wasn’t aware 8 year olds had wrinkles. This whole business of preteen pagents just seems a little perverted to me. From the responses it would seem the whole thing is for the mother at the child’s expense. They grow up fast enough for crying out loud, let her be an eight year old.

  • melissa

    this mother is a nutjob! and should be charged with child abuse! practicing medicine without a license! that poor child is going to grow up with SOOO many body image issues………..mother is a NUTJOB and should be arrested!

  • Daniel

    I think she meant to say pretty birds. The botox makes her speech slurry. Hey, the mom should just put her on the street and solicit her away since she’s going through all the trouble.

  • Sally Murray

    Child abuse

  • Jah man

    She probably should be spending money fixing that busted grill of hers before moving on to the wrinkles.

  • KELLY

    CRAZY!!!!!!!! STORY IS VERY DISTURBING!!!!! WHY WOULD ANYONE PUT AN 8 YEAR OLD CHILD THROUGH THIS??? THERE IS SO MUCH TALK TODAY ABOUT GIRLS AND BODY IMAGE…THIS ONLY PROMOTES A LACK OF SELF ESTEEM AND A LACK OF POSITIVE BODY IMAGE!!!

  • CJ

    Ok – so how many of you disgusted people watch the disgraceful toddler beauty paegents? Those of you who do – you are so promoting this foolish behavior. Stop watching, ratings fail, TV execs move to the next big buck farce, little girls go back to normal and neurotic mothers won’t treat their kids like a greenback. See the rich pattern here?

  • jaytee

    I cant believe that a mother would be soo vain to do that to a child. How about putting her in natural beauty contests and not pagents that require us to treat kids like dolls. This woman should be charged with child abuse. So what happens to the 8yr old in the long run? the trauma for her to think that the world revolves around artificial beauty….
    the 8 yr old should be outside enjoying sunshine , picking up flowers for her mum , drawing silly pictures and discovery life as it is and not botox treatements.
    SHAME ON HER MOTHER!!! Disgusting

  • Stephan K

    Wow!!!

    Just came across this (shocking) story.

    I know of a certain gentleman who gassed ‘em for less . . .

    Is she still out of jail?

  • Josiah

    Everyone’s being too critical. Unless you’re a pageant girl yourself, or a pageant mom, you’ve no right to judge these two for the pressures Britney’s facing.

  • Chris Barry

    Unbelievable. I wish states cared enough about children to BAN this activity. Your children aren’t f**king dolls.

  • Chris Barry

    Getting your daughter ready for the Pedobear. SHAME ON MOM.

  • Douglas

    This woman should be sentenced to have her head shaved and have to wear a barbed wire pad.

  • enraged

    I can’t believe this is even legal. The eight year old girl is beautiful just the way she is and she doesn’t need botox to be “pretty words.” Who is allowing the mother to do this? Where is her other family? Changing little girls so that they can win beauty pagents is disgusting. This should be considered child abuse!

    This mother is seriously in the wrong here. I can’t believe that someone would do that to their child and foster negative self-esteem, as well. This child is better off in protective services than with this mother.

  • Motionbomber

    Is this legal?! Someone needs to find this woman and punch her in the face.

  • Monika

    This is horrible! That child has no reason to be worrying about such vanity. I am concerned if and when somebody makes a comment about her weight compared to the “pageant” girls. Will the mom do lypo?!

  • Tami

    I can not believe this woman is still allowed to keep this child. WTH? What is the botox going to do to that little girl in the future?

  • Tina

    Notice that all the moms that put their daughter in pageants are fat… just sayin

  • MARIE

    WRESTLERS ARE PUT OUT OF THE GAME WHEN THEY TAKE DRUGS. THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT. ANYONE WHO GIVES THEIR CHILD BOTOX SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM THE PAGEANT

  • Paquette

    I think the mother has serious issues.

  • Lolita Aaron

    How tragic.. This nothing short of child abuse. Mother needs to be treated.I would report the woman to child services. Very very sad and disturbing

  • Lolita Aaron

    Pageants should be outlawed. What deplorable values to instil in small children..
    It is heartbreaking.

  • Nixo

    Didn’t the mom fess up & say she was paid X amount of $ to lie for the story?

  • patty

    This is an old story, it already came out to be a hoax!

  • Tess

    Two words: CHILD ABUSE

  • Mansfield

    lol good. This makes me happy.

  • Rima Hage

    This is child abuse. Where are the authorities? Mariah Carey drinks beer for the malt content to breastfeed her children and the ‘oh so concerned’ authorities are knocking down her door. This woman is subjecting her daughter to physical pain and mutilation. I’m absolutely seething.

  • Sue

    Another Jon-Benet?

  • lorjon

    This is where children in society have no rights it seems. Are there no Childrens Rights Advocacy Groups that can do something here!?????

  • Lynette Walker

    This is the most disturbing article I have read in many years. What in God’s name is this mother doing to her baby??? It’s shocking and more than unacceptable… It’s so sad that she cannot love her little girl “as is” instead of botoxing her at such a young age where she will have to keep doing botox when it no longer looks good. This poor child may end up with deformed looks and likely end up resembling a monkey like so many others after botox treatments. This is truly child abuse of the sickest kind. She wil likelyl mature never thinking she is good enough or attractive enough in her own skin.. This is a horrifying story. What is happening to our children in today’s society… unbelievable… She should adopt her daughter out to a loving couple who would cherish this little girl “as is”… sick,sick,sick … The woman has no business having children.. These are my opinions folks. Shame on this mother!!! What is the father’s role in this? Is he allowing it to happen and continue? Or, if the parents are divorced, I am sure this dad could find an attorney to fight for custody and control over this minor’s life.. This is truly a sad despicable story.
