1. Kerry Campbell is a piece of human trash and I hope her daughter winds up in the custody of....

...someone who will care for her and love her the way she is.

This is abuse.

11. totally agree, this right here is CRIMINAL, so are child beauty pageants

they screw kids up, those are NOT basic constitutional rights and should have NO first amendment protections not at all. And surprisingly no one has brought up "where's the father" (WTF)? Maybe the kid's father was violent or abusive or something, who knows.

2. "Narcissistic Fibrosis" in epidemic portions ,the porno we deserve. n/t

Designer kids weren't born yesterday.

3. Wait until

That unfortunate child gets a sagging eye, drooping lip, or some other paralysis in her face, let alone infection or a bad batch of off-market botox. Shameful.

4. Dear God.

We're screwed. All of us, screwed. "Virgin Waxes"?!?!?!?! The girl is 8 years old! What in the fuck is wrong with this woman? Anyone else sense some weird mental shit that the mom has and (hopefully not) her daughter might get from this?

:wtf:

5. I'm a live-and-let-live kinda person but

this mother's a freak.

15. Sadly............

SHe doesn't have the raw material to begin with! Just another cute average 8 year old who will most likely look like Mom as she ages.
If wishes were horses!

8. Botox dulls ability to understand emotions

This woman is damaging this girl in so many ways. This girl won't be able to express a full range of emotions and may not be able to recognize them in others.

Botox may smooth your wrinkles, but it can dull your ability to understand the emotions of others, a new study suggests.

Botox, used in cosmetic and medical procedures for 20 years, paralyzes muscles, hindering certain facial movements, such as frowns, that over time can cause wrinkles.

Therein lies the problem, says David Neal, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, lead author of the research, published today in the journal Social Psychology and PersonalityScience. "People who use Botox are less able to read others' emotions," says Neal, who worked with a researcher at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

9. Did you read the text/translation/subtitles??? Much more bizarre than the story!

botox is "gold stock" or "both contracts" or "boat toxin"

gave her an opportunity to defend = virginity to defend
But the best is "usually worry that new point on your face hansel drinking during formal" from "can you show me where you did it, point on your face"

and much, much, more.

10. Children are not pets

This is a classic case of child abuse and should be prosecuted as such. The public must demand it to protect children from this abuse. The government must act to protect children.

12. Everyone is mentioning the mother (who should be looked into for neglect)

but what about the doctor that was willing to inject her? Or (havent seen video yet) did the mother get some and inject her daughter on her own? Making it abuse rather than neglect. (neglect charges cover more than the term conjures up in ones mind. Neglect is any poor behaviour, just short of out right abuse)

Plans on watching video, but couldnt and wondered why the lumping only on the mother when I seriously question a doctor that would or could be pressured into doing the procedure. :shrug:

Edit: saw 1st couple of min and had my question answered about who is doing the injections....

14. Mom is administering it

She won't disclose her supplier

[AndiMer]

16. That's child abuse

Disgusting!

[axollot]

17. Agreed. This is beyond the pale. It's abuse. And I'm careful

to toss that term around because so many kids are in foster care and if you test poz for pot the state can take your kids away - but this is craziness. What if the mother pushes her to get implants? And it's not OK because all the other pageant kids do it - I bet money most don't!

Cheers

18. Did you catch the mom saying she got her Botox from a source

she won't reveal? So, even if this was the real thing (Botox) being pumped, by the mother, into her kid's face, Lord knows what she is being supplied with through some cosmetician's underground?
