Just saw this, really shocking. How selfish can a mother get?

[b]A British woman, originally from Birmingham and now living in San Francisco, has admitted to giving her eight-year-old daughter Botox injections to 'get rid of her wrinkles'.
Kerry Campbell told ‘Good Morning America’ she injects her daughter Britney to help her keep up in the intensively competitive world of the child beauty pageant circuit.
According to Kerry, 34, Britney has become used to the injections and is fine with them, but Britney revealed she used to cry when she first had the procedure.

"It hurts sometimes. It makes me nervous. But I get used to it."
During the interview, Britney revealed the reasons she gets the injections.
“I just don’t think wrinkles are nice for little girls.”

Britney revealed she’s also had her upper leg area waxed. However, despite the fact that she thinks hairy legs are ‘unladylike,’ she’s stopped having the procedure done as the pain was too much for her to bear.

Kerry says she’s not the only parent to administer Botox treatment to her child, and claims she got the idea from other pageant mothers.

“A lot of mums there give their kids Botox. It’s pretty much like the thing. I’m not the only one that does it. A lot of mums do it.”

Kerry, a part-time esthetician, claims that she’s been administering Botox injections on herself for several years, and that she feels the procedure is safe.

When asked about whether these procedures signify a loss of childhood innocence, Kerry replied: “It’s a tough world in the pageant world.”

She wouldn’t reveal who supplies her with the Botox but says he is a trusted source ‘behind the doctor’s scene’.
Health professionals have openly criticised Kerry’s actions, saying the procedures, while physically painful, also have the potential to leave lifelong psychological scars.

“I’m a little bit in disbelief, and a little bit horrified,” Dr. Charles Sophy, a psychiatrist and medical director in California, told the breakfast show.

“There’s a lot of psychological damage that can be caused. That’s where psychological intervention needs to happen to make sure there are no blurred boundaries and projections going on that are going to have longer psychological ramifications for this child.”[/b]

Seems the mother's trying to live the dream of a model through her daughter. Poor child!

Nonesense, she was not wven giving it to her aged parents but an 8 yr old. Crazy world indeed!

This is simply insane.

i guess it is time for an implementation of a license to have babies.

how stupid. giving an 8yr child a botox, when she is 55 what will she be given? and what hair is she even waxing sef?

What normal parent would put their child through something like this, Honestly think child pageants should be banned, It's insane what parents put their kids through to try and win these pageants. Americans are nuts,

This woman is mad!!!!!!!! Submitting your child for unnecessary injections of the same bacteria that causes botulism. How safe can this be? Even adults don't know the possible long-term implications of this craziness. Not to mention the fact that she is undergoing cosmetic procedures on her face at only 8 years old. The 'mother' is telling her daughter that she has lines and wrinkles in her face. I can't believe this.

_{[size=4pt]If they were black people, her daughter would have been taken from her care immediately.[/size]} 

See what happens when fathers abandon their little girls to psychotic women who want to re-live their youths in their daughters' lives?
Pity!

I agree. That's what lead to the sad demise of JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old American girl. It's all here:

JonBenét Patricia Ramsey (August 6, 1990 – December 25, 1996) was an American child who was murdered at age 6 and attracted extensive media coverage. Such coverage often focused on her participation in child beauty pageants, her parents' affluence and various unusual aspects of the case as well as questions regarding police handling of the case. She was found dead in the basement of her parents' home in Boulder, Colorado, nearly eight hours after she was reported missing. The case is notable for both its longevity and the media interest it has generated. Commentators and Colorado law enforcement agencies considered the girl's parents and brother to be suspects, but they have been legally exonerated as a result of DNA evidence and declared victims of the crime, themselves. After several grand jury hearings, the case is still unsolved. In February 2009, the Boulder Police Department took the case back from the district attorney and re-opened the investigation.
