Mother gives Botox injections to 8 year old Daughter

[gigastar]

Damn, some people do silly things.

A few days ago i punched a hole through a (plasterboard) wall just to shout to someone.

Yes im paying to have it patched too.

I always reserve my opinion of threads like this until I read the story for myself, as important details can be left out to sensationalise a story...

Its straight forward. There is no grey area where the 8 year old needs botox for wrinkles for a medical reason. It is a nutjob beuaty pagent mother. Weilding toxins.

She's a fucking part time esthetician and thinks this allows her to put nerve toxin into a child's face?

holy shit

 

[BabyRaptor]

Wow. That woman needs to be sterilized. That is just unreal.

 

[bombadilillo]

I don't think it should be illegal, it has less long term effect and risk than a tattoo or even a piercing.

I do however think its sad a parent thinks its a good idea.

And I'm horrified that its legal here to let anyone other than a medical professional inject it.

Now as for beauty pagents... they often seem like child abuse to me.

I dont like your "not as bad as" agruement. There is always something worse.

This is one of those things that wasn't made illegal becuase nobody was stupid enough to inject a freaking 8 year old before. Hopfeully that changes now. This is the reason the internets are full of lists of stupid laws.

All I can say is WTF. Nothing more.

Read the article, the whole thing just makes me sad.

I wish people didnt have to treat themselves or their children like this.

I was just keeping that as a placeholder until I read the full article and comments on the website, sorry I didn't make it clearer, but I agree completely with you. There are no other mitigating factors to this that could excuse it.

*clears throat*
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

Right, now that that's out of the way. It reminds me of when I watched crank yankers and a woman prank called a surgeon about getting breast implants for her "12 year old daughter". Except this is an actual girl that's actually getting life-threatening injections
INTO
HER
FACE.
This woman should not be able to keep that child or have one again. I can't even imagine how she thought it was ok. I mean really, I used the "but other people do it too" excuse when I was 5. Either arrest this woman or give her a job on Fox. But more likely she will get off without even a warning. This makes me sick.

Snip

Thats cool, I was giving you a TlR, saying theres no hidden medical reason involved. Straight up vanity thy name is douchebag.

holy shit

technically I could do it(depending on where I do it)and I am an esthetician.
as long as she has had the proper training and practice she can do it.

i mourn for the state of the universe when atrocities like this go unpunished

 

[bdcjacko]

Eight year olds need to look young and beautiful too.

 

[MrCherry]

The child should be taken away from her and given to a family who actually care about the child... not themselves.

 

[ZeroMachine]

I'll save what I'd want to say about that lady.

That way, if I ever see her, I can say it to her face and not get banned from the Escapist.

 

[BanthaFodder]

I honestly wish I could storm a child beauty pageant and knock the fake tits off of these "mothers" with a hefty 9-iron...
sadly that little girl is already mostly gone. she's been brainwashed by her fame whore of a mother into having issues with her body image at age EIGHT. unless there's an intervention and a lot of psychology in the future, things will not end well for this child...
cast the ***** of a mother into the Great Pit of Carkoon, where she shall be sacrificed to the all-powerful sarlacc. in his belly, she shall learn a new definition of pain and suffering as she is slowly digested over a... thousand years...

 

[FamoFunk]

It's child abuse. The thought makes me ill.
Seriously the Mother needs to have some form of training/lessons in being a parent, no 8yo needs Botox, unless it's some serious medical condition.

 

[Soviet Steve]

It really is disgusting and horrific when parents treat their children as status symbols rather than human beings.

 

[Wintermoot]

wasn't this already on the escapist?(could have been a different mom giving botox)
OT how could that mom get access to botox? I,m not a doctor but I read it,s a muscle relaxant poison (AKA give in the right amounts it could possibly kill a person)
PS
she basically says she acquired it ILLEGALLY which makes it worse (if she stile it from a doctor it would be safe but who know,s what,s in that stuff)
