A few weeks back I read this story in Closer about a mum who injected her daughters with botox that she got off the internet, which is obviously the safest place to buy toxins to inject into yourself let alone your children.
Before this story I had noticed a few popping up around the place where they were injecting botox into their children to make them stars for the future. One mum said that because she injected herself first then she knows its ok for her child.
Front page of the paper today is a 7 year old who has botox and fillers every two months (injected by mum) and has had her eyebrows tattooed on. The reason for this lunacy?
"What I am doing for Bree will make her a star.
"All A-list actresses and celebrities start early now and Bree will stand out due to her big lips and super-smooth, wrinkle-free skin.
"The tattooed eyebrows are only light and can be used as a reminder for her on how to pluck properly.
"To be a superstar you have to be different and highly styled.
"That is why I am doing this. She is my child and this is my decision - it will help shape her for the rest of her life."
Apparently its all the rage in America especially with beauty pageants and modelling. This mother in particular is from San Diego and overheard mothers discussing using botox instead of putting layers of make up on the children - it saves you a fortune in cosmetics.
Mum contacted 15 doctors who refused to inject her daughter but said that she would be able to as there was no law stopping her because she had trained as a beautician. In Britain and the States botox and fillers are self regulated, which means that it is not illegal to inject a child that young.
This mother also claims that she used both the botox and the filler on herself so that she knew it was safe for her daughter. She also tattooed her daughters eyebrows herself as she used to date a tattoo artist who showed her how to do it.
"It was all Bree's idea. She showed me a picture of a model with beautiful eyebrows and said that's what she wanted.
"I used to date a tattoo artist who taught me how to do them.
"I borrowed a kit from a friend and tattooed a thin, light line on Bree's brows to give a natural but definite shape. Bree was brave and didn't cry.
"She is pleased with her new eyebrows and it means she will know what shape they are meant to be for the rest of her life."
Her plans are to carry on and even tattoo the lip liner.
I dont know about other mothers out there but Ive had to go through the vaccinations with my little monkey and I hated every minute of it, so to put a needle in the skin of my child which they didnt need filled with poison (as how reliable are the things you buy off the internet?) this is just absolute insanity. Its one thing to dress your child up in dresses and plaster the make up on them but to inject and tattoo children is just plain child abuse. Little Bree is going to grow up insecure and with problems if her mother is allowed to carry on.
As previously mentioned its not just this woman all you have to do is type in mum child botox and the list that comes up is amazing. A lot of the stories are duplicates but it shows the amount of children being subjected to this is growing in number regularly. This if anything proves that something needs to be done to prevent these children growing up psychologically damaged with a distorted view of the world and themselves.
