I could only watch the first 46 seconds.
Looks like a visit from Child Protective Services is in order.
What’s her pediatrician got to say?
I made it 3 minutes.
There is no age limit for botox? Good grief. Newborns are pretty wrinkly too.
I think that is child abuse and I hope the child is removed from the home so the mother can get some psychological help.
This is SICK. This is child abuse…plain and simple.
Just saw an ABC News Report that San Francisco Child Welfare services is investigating the case.
GOOD!
Botox is a contraction of “BOtulinum TOXin” This is the toxin in the bacterium that causes botulism. If this mother hits a blood vessel, she could kill the child with this paralytic toxin.
While investigating the mother, how about the physician that prescribed this for the child and allowed the mother to give the injections?
child abuse, for sure. I could not even watch the video. What is this mother thinking? And good catch regarding the prescribing doctor. what was he thinking, too? Good golly.
I saw the whole thing on the ABC online news video clip. The mother said the 8 year old ASKED for the botox. WHY is an EIGHT year old asking for botox and why would an EIGHT year old be worried about wrinkles???
Is this what they talk about in youth pagents?
The mother says she ordered the BoTox online. Inside Edition said there are hundreds of sites. The “interweb” is truly a double-edged sword.
This poor girl is going to go through so many emotional problems as she grows up. She will never be able to see herself as she should…she will likely become suicidal when she actually does have a real wrinkle WAY later in life. She will always believe that she is ugly without some extreme procedure to better herself. Botox at 8….is her mother going to give her plastic surgery at 9? How is it even legal what she is doing? She could kill her daughter with those poison injections. I’m just furious that there are mothers that do this sort of thing to their children.
And it appears this insane mom has just lost custody of her daughter: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfmoms/detail?entry_id=89044
Thank GOODNESS. I hope the other women she knows of who are doing this will be likewise investigated.
The mom is a fruitcake, and uh, I don’t really like needles…..
The child can’t even articulate why she would be getting these shots!! Crazytown!!
Yep pretty sick. Some people do not deserve to be parents!
Yet another reason that birth control is a wonderful thing…
