Wrinkles? For god sake I am 30 and don't even have wrinkles.

The mother might be avoiding the chance of wrinkles but will make certain her daughter will have image issues.

I figure if she wants to spend her free time chopping the hairs one by one, that's her choice, as long as she doesn't tell me about it or show me the end result. I didn't give her razors because I was afraid she'd hurt herself.

On Most days, I REALLY WISH you had to be licensed to be a parent. This parent has clear psychological issues that she's passing to her child.

Meh it's just cultural norms. I mean what kind of parent would let their kid grow up without braces? How is that different? Better botox than corsets.

Sue me. I never bought into feminist ideal that you can only care about aesthetics if you're an insecure, vain, and generally pathetic person. I do think it's incredibly stupid to give an 8 year old Botox, however.

This article only proves how uneducated and culturally illiterate the lower middle classes really are.

This story may not even be true.... If you read later in the article, the Huffington writer states "while we certainly hope that this article is the work of an imaginative reporter..."

I don't think you can buy Botox online. I also think if any mother were crazy enough to do something like this, she wouldn't advertise it and risk CPS getting involved.

Yup. If this is not illegal already, or considered some form of child abuse, it will be after this story gets enough attention.

Anyone else see how sick and ridiculous this is?

Mother Claims To Inject 8-Year-Old With Botox, Perform Monthly 'Virgin Waxes'

The mother is teaching her child that all of her value is centered on how she looks.

That's really sick and abusive.

I don't see anything wrong with it. What is wrong with being and feeling beautiful? It is obvious that the more attractive person gets way more opportunity and advantage in life than someone who is unattractive. Sorry but that is the way society is.

8 year old girls are beautiful, just as they are. They don't need opportunity and advantage in life, yet. They just need to be 8. Society would stop being the way "society is" if we all stopped being so ridiculous about having a wrinkle or two.

Society needs to tell 8 year old girls that they are fabulous, and smart, and talented, and capable, not that they need Botox. Geez.
