We officially have a new nominee for the World’s Worst Mother. Kerry Campbell and her daughter, Britney, often compete in beauty pageants and have been looking an extra edge that will give Britney the chance to win.
They found their solution: Botox and leg waxing. Kerry is a part-time aesthetician who has used Botox on her own face. She says her daughter complained about wrinkles on her face and asked about having Botox. Kerry then administered the drug to her daughter’s face through five injections at three separate sites.
“We were getting into the pageants,” Kerry told ABC News. “I knew she was complaining about her face, having wrinkles, and things like that. When I brought it up to Britney she was all for it.”
Doctors say there are relatively few risks to Botox, but any risk is too much for a young girl who does not have any skin problems. They fear that beyond the physical damage there is a risk of psychological damage.
Now, Child Protective Services (CPS) in San Francisco have launched an investigation into the mother’s behavior. Pretty silly to talk about these things on national TV.
Looks like I am not the only one who is concerned. You said it well that mother is definitely up for Worst Mother of the Year title.
