Beauty Pageant Mother Injects 8-Year-Old Daughter with Botox and Takes Her Waxing

For their eighth birthdays I imagine most little girls want a bicycle or a doll or maybe even in this day in age a cell phone, but Botox injections?

According to The Sun, "beauty-pageant obsessed single mum" Kerry Campbell gifted her daughter Britney with Botox injections for her eighth birthday last year. Botox injections are now a regular part of Britney's beauty regime – once every three months – which also includes waxing.

We've often worried about the sexualization of girls at younger and younger ages, especially those competing in beauty pageants. Botox injections and waxing take it to a whole new level of concern, but Kerry does not see it like that at all. In fact, she would argue that she is helping pave her daughter's way to Hollywood ensuring a life of fame and fortune:

"I know one day she [Britney] will be a model, actress or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer."

"All I want is for Britney to have the best start in life, so it is easier for her to become a superstar."

"She is a lucky little girl and is going to be famous because of the benefits I am giving her so early."

"When she's a superstar earning millions, she'll always be grateful for what I did when she was so young."

And what does Britney have to say about her detailed beauty regime?

"My friends think it's cool I have all the treatments and they want to be like me, says Britney. "I check every night for wrinkles, when I see some I want more injections. They used to hurt, but now I don't cry that much…I also want a boob and nose job soon, so that I can be a star."

How will Britney ever develop a healthy self-image if she is looking for wrinkles and thinking about a breast and nose job at 8-years-old? How will she ever learn to accept and appreciate her body if she's given a quick "fix" – botox, waxing, plastic surgery – for every "problem" area she finds?

And what about the health risks of injecting Botox at such a young age?

Doctors and plastic surgeons recommend that only adults use Botox, but Kerry purchases Botox and Restalyne over the internet and uses a home-assembled kit of needles from the local pharmacy and a diabetic friend.

This does not sound safe or legal but according to The Sun there are no criminal laws preventing parents from doing this. If this is becoming a trend among beauty pageant parents, like Kerry suggests in her interview with The Sun, serious consideration is needed to protect children so they can actually be children – not frozen version of themselves with a lifetime's worth of crippling self-esteem.

oh dear god. ritual mutilation in the name of beauty. poor little girl totally sold on the idea of nipping and tucking little bits of herself in trade for that elusive mirage, fame and fortune.

what a cow!!!!

poor kid

Why would an unwrinkled, damn near perfect skin 8 year old need botox? This is ridiculous.

It's bad enough some of the girls get fake teeth and fake tans but now botox?

And these pageants don't even pay that much. Whatever the child wins goes back into the pot to buy more crazy clothes, take more dance lessons and travel to the next competition.

I saw this on the Inside Edition broadcast... The mom was saying she didn't do anything illegal, that other moms do that for their daughters to look great in the pageants.

Where the hell is dad in this? The mom injected the kid herself and she is a "beautician" .

They didn't say she was a liscenced cosmetologist, she is definitely not a nurse, Dr. or even a licenced medical assistant.

In the interview she wouldn't say where she got the botox from. She needs drugs for herself instead, she done lost her mind, what is she thinking?

How is this little girl gonna look like when she is 35?

He's probably pussy-whipped.

There should be a law against this shit.

O_o What wrinkles? She's EIGHT! This is why I don't like all this pageant crap. It seems like the horror stories outweigh the better ones. All this vanity and "fixing" of children. I heard a little of the story this morning on both Good Morning America and The View. That's sick! It can't be good for that poor baby, and I damn near got sick when she said she was "getting used to it".

I can honestly say that this is really fucked up.

No words, really.

what was the botox for? Where? It's for wrinkles and frown lines.

Wonder if she could be charged with something. I mean, the tanning and eyebrow waxing are all extreme and wrong, but wouldn't unnecessarily injecting a substance into your child's face qualify as endangerment or something??

And wtf would she photograph it?

They should have a Busted Dumb Twats Pageant for all these so-called mom's to enter they fuckin selves.

They had this on the View and talked about it a lot then ellen pompeo came out and said the lady does not eserve that kid.

Social services needs to pay them a visit.

My goodness.

See. It's a damn shame that these delusional bitches are able to procreate. I'm just waiting to hear or read about one of these children dropping dead because the mother injected the child and an air bubble got into the blood stream and caused an embolism. Or 10 or 20 years from now the girls looking like old hags because they've been injected, stretched and scraped into gargoyles.

Why is this woman still jumping from T.V Show to T.V show still proudly talking about this insanity .....and this child is still in her care

Boy, that must be one ugly eight-year-old to need Botox already. Thank goodness she has a mother who can afford those treatments!

http://moms.today.com/_ne...estigation

this gal is now being investigated by Human Services....

excerpted:

Since our story, Kerry and Britney have done a little media circuit. San Francisco’s Human Services Agency received numerous calls from people worried about Britney’s safety and is now investigating. City health official Trent Roher says he'll sit down and talk with the mom and daughter, the Associated Press reports.

As we pointed out, it’s not even legal for a beautician to administer Botox. And this is poison we are talking about being injected into a child’s face. Also, who looks at their 8-year-old's cherubic face and sees wrinkles?

See, this is what seems odd to me.

Was she turned in and that's how she ended up on the first show to begin with? The photos of her injecting the girl seem like a red flag. There's folk who are not just sick enough to go and do this to a child, but they go and do it so that they will end up in the limelight to boot. Some people don't care in what light they're on tv as long as their on it. Especially someone who already lives vicariously through her daughter through child pageantry.

At the time of her media blitz I dont think so......San Fransisco's Child Welfare services are just now "investigating" and want to sit and "talk to her"......What more do you need???...There are video and pictures of her circulating that clearly show her injecting this kid and you can tell the poor girl is in pain..She has admitted to doing it as well numerous times...Get the child away from her first and then begin your investigation....Sheesh!

Sadly yea there are tons of parents who live through their children and do dangerous things like this for the most shallow and the most stupid reasons. And then a parent who is supposed to be a kid's protector and care giver poses the most danger to his or her own child
