They actually showed pictures of this mother giving her daughter botox injections in her face! The little girl said "it hurts, but I'm getting use to it". When asked why she wanted these injections, the little girl at first said, "I don't really know". The mother then prompted her to say, "Oh yeah, to do away with wrinkles". Why isn't this mother in jail?? How can she come on national TV and brag about this and show pictures of her sticking a needle in her little girl's face?? These child beauty contests are an affront to decency and should be banned, a child that age should be a child, not manipulated by selfish parents into taking on the role of adults!
I agree. Lock the mom up.

It's just as abusive to give medication that is not required as it is to withhold medication that is required - like those fundamentalist nuts always do when their kids need medical intervention and they want to pray over them instead.
