Botox for kids?

Eight-year-old Britney Campbell says she checks every night for wrinkles and when she sees some she wants more botox injections.

Yes, this is the story of the little girl from San Francisco whose mother has been regularly injecting her with botox. In an interview with a U.K newspaper Britney says she also wants a breast and nose job soon so she can "be a star"

Can someone please tell me what wrinkles an eight-year-old has??? Britney's mother, and I used that term loosely, is clearly as mad as a hatter if she thinks her daughter has lines on her face.

Or is she? Is this a game to get famous?

Could it be that Britneys mother, Kerry Campbell, has staged this whole thing to get fame for herself? We hear she is a reality-programme-obsessed woman who apparently wants to be famous herself. She allegedly said she was injecting her daughter for beauty pageants, but authorities can find no evidence that Britney has ever been in one. And it appears Ms Campbell also has several alias's - so the plot thickens, as they say.

Or is this another parent trying to live through their child?

But either way if she has been injecting her daughter with botox, the message that is being sent to this young girl by her stupid mother is 'you are not good enough'

The only way a child should receive botox is on medical grounds to put right a squint or facial problem. Never for cosmetic reasons.

If you're an adult and you want to inject yourself with a toxin from a bacteria that is so dangerous it could actually kill you then that's up to you. Personally I would rather have a face like a Rhino's backside than have someone stick toxin-laden pins in my skin. And don't go telling me I'd feel different if I was older. I Am older.

But if, as alleged, this woman has given botox to her daughter she should be thrown in the stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes! What a terrible thing to do to the lovely firm skin of a pretty little girl. This child is going to grow up thinking she is imperfect and has to have all these awful treatments to make herself pretty.

Little girls are growing up way too fast as it is. What has happened to childhood? When I was not much older than Britney I was playing in the field behind my house with my best friend, Shirley Goddard. We'd drag a whole bunch of dolls and pots and pans and goodness know what and set up in the farmers field and pretend we were next door neighbours. I can't remember caring two hoots what I wore or how my face looked. I was way too busy having fun.

Now we've got kids under ten wanting boob jobs so they can be a celebrity when they grow up or worse - marry a zillionaire footballer. And there is all the controversy over stores going out of their way to sexualize clothing for little girls. What are we doing to our kids?

It's crazy. Those precious few years of childhood, when you shouldn't have a care in the world, are being snatched away by stupid parents like Kerry Campbell who are already planning for their daughters to be celebrities.

There is a columnist who is suggesting it is probably wrong to take Britney away from her mum just because her mum's stupid. He says if we start doing things like that we might as well take peoples kids away because they drink sugar-laced soda drinks. Are you mad? there is a hell of a lot of difference between giving your kid a can of Coke and telling her we've got to prick her face with needles because she isn't pretty enough.
