In another TODAY Moms post today, we wrote about the coming-of-age "aesthetic" milestones for tween girls, as part of a discussion of "When is it OK to..." do things like wear makeup, shave legs and get your ears pierced.
Now, we bring you "When is it NEVER OK to…"
For that, we go to this bizarre story that's all over the British press and originally came from the The Sun, which reports that 8-year-old Britney Campbell of Birmingham, England, gets Botox treatments in her face from her 34-year-old mom, Kerry, a beautician. Britney also gets routine waxes of leg hair and a monthly "virgin wax." This is a bid, her mom says, to stop pubic hair from growing when she hits puberty.

That poor child will become obsessed with her looks and turn into that woman "Jenny", that was on Oprah, who is obsessed with plastic surgery. I'm sure you know the one I am referring to... she looks like a cross between Barbie and a duck.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that poor little girl. The mother has taken parenting to a very wrong and irresponsible level. Injecting Botox into a child's face, doesn't matter whether she is 8 or 16, is unacceptable. This is child abuse!
