It sounds too unreal to be true, like a storyline straight out of “When Stage Moms Go Bad.” It’s not. It’s real life for an 8-year-old California girl. We spoke with the girl, Britney, and her mom, Kerry, to learn exactly why they turned to Botox, and exactly how young is too young when it comes to using medical treatments for the sake of beauty. Kerry, who asked that her family’s last name not be used, told “Good Morning America’s” Lara Spencer that it was actually her daughter, Britney, who wanted to try Botox, a beauty treatment more normally requested by aging women than growing girls. “We were getting into the pageants,” Kerry recalled. “I knew she was complaining about her face, having wrinkles, and things like that.

You. Are. Eight. You do NOT need botox. No one does. Jeezus christ.

@randomflyingpigeons Agreed! These pageants are so disturbing and these parents need a psychological evaluation.

@itcanbecheezcaketime Do you really pity someone who comes from a country where third level education is free to the less well off, also healthcare is free , oh yeah the unemployed recieve at least 188 euro a week, we also get paid to go to college. If you pity me for some stupid blasphemy law which in no way would ever be used. I know its a stupid act but it is in no way as absurd as the patriot act, the t.s.a or spending more on air conditioning in the military than the entire nasa budget.

Botox is short for Botoxin. key word-TOXIC! It is from the injection of the botulism organism. People around the world go to the emergency room all the time for botulism poisoning. It comes from food contaminated with it and the excretions of the bacteria cause extreme cases of food poisoning! The mother should be placed in prison for child abuse.
