I wouldn't. But I don't really need to know about your personal life to know you watch The View. It's obvious. If I had to bet I'd say Ellen also.

Back to topic, the mother is disgusting.

Well, the important thing here, your little personal digs aside, is that we agree about this mother. Anderson Cooper mocked her last night on 360, I can only hope that child protective services gets involved...I don't know where she lives and what the laws governing child abuse are in her home state but surely this has to be a violation....

So I was right about Ellen?

She's being investigated.

Obviously authorities are restricted by the law, one would question the mother's background relative her ability to safely treat her daughter with injections, where she is obtaining the botox, the involvement of a physician in the treatment...these would seem to be some of the key legal questions. Again, the legal statutes regarding child abuse will be key...to me there is no question that this is child abuse, but I cannot speak to the legal issues. The mother stated that mothers of other contestants are doing the same thing...this should be investigated and if true, action should not be limited to this one case.

All the legal BS aside, what do you want to see happen in this case?
