Mom injects her 8-year old daughter with botox

  
Kerry Campell (34) injects her 8- year old daughter with botox she has purchased online and also waxes her legs and bikini line. The mother claims she is helping her daughter to become a "superstar". And that by doing this for Britney now that the high hopes she has for her daughters future will come true. She seems to think that Britney will grow up to be a model, singer, actress, or some famous important person and that the treatment she is giving her now will give her an advantage in the future. Ridding her of wrinkles and helping to rid her of hair on her legs, bikini line, and other unwanted places.
Britney, an 8-year old pageant contestant, say that now she doesn’t cry as much and is even looking forward to a boob and nose job when she gets older. She thinks that what her mother is doing is helping her to become beautiful and more successful in the world of fashion and looks. This 8-year old girl willingly shares the dream of her life that her mother has pushed her into.
 But just where is Kerry finding all of these materials that she uses on her daughter? She orders and purchases all of the botox, wax, and supplies online. Kerry claims that what she is doing is totally safe due to the fact that she tests it out on herself before injecting Britney with it. She also says that most of the other girls in the pageants will use similar methods (botox and waxing) to help with their appearance.
Kerry also tries to justify it by saying that she hear other mothers at pageants talking about how they give their daughter a little extra to plump up their lips or get rid of any nonexistent wrinkles before a big competition (pageant). She says that she gives Britney the same stuff to better equal her chances in a pageant or contest. She says it would be unfair if her daughter did not have the same treatment or extra boost that the other girls will get as well.
It’s not uncommon for mothers to do this to their daughters. Whether it’s for a contest or a pageant or to even just help their looks out a little bit so that one day they can be a “superstar”. They do this to their little girls to help give them the superstar lives that they wanted for themselves. It’s like living through their daughter’s lives.
They will claim that by doing these treatments now they help to make sure that it won’t be a problem in the future. That they will make them have the look of a model in order for them to be a model. But, botox has only been claimed safe for adults, how could it be safe for teens or children, let alone 8-year old girls? How could they know whether or not the poisons and toxins released into their daughters for botox now, at such an earlier age, won’t in fact make them deformed or have troubles with a plastic, fake look in the future?
It could, for all they know, be making it so that their faces and skin will become tight and painful or scared for the rest of their lives. People don’t like looking at a magazine with the cover being a plastic faced Barbie doll. They like looking at a real girl, that has real beauty that isn’t fake or “helped along” by injections.
But the possibility of a bad ending doesn’t stop mothers from doing this to their little girls. It’s legal so we can’t do anything about it either. Daughters will continue to be injected with botox just so that their mothers can make them into their own personal little “superstars”. While injecting and waxing a little 8-year old girl is disturbing, it’s legal and until someone sees how dangerous or cruel this is, it will remain that way.

My Extra Photojournalism contibution

(I couldn't resist. I had a lot of fun with my camera (: ) (I promise only to do a couple more....if I had room and time I would gladly post all my favorite pictures that I've taken in the Spring and Summer, but I don't, not matter how cool I think they are so...too bad)

 Anyway. This one was taken on my little walk this afternoon. My little sister decided to fight off the scary looking trees, and I liked how they all looked together, so...tada!
 Summer actually took this one (at least I'm giving her credit for her work...and she's 6) but I thought it actually looked pretty cool. (I'm sorry to say, but we didn't actually stop. Oh well! (she doesn't fully comprehend what a stop sign is, so I am not a bad example...yet)
And this is another photo masterpiece done by none other than Summer Martin. (last name excluded for safety precautions.) Pretty good for a 6 year old right? Guess she's starting to take after her big sis. :) (meaning me) Anyway, I liked how it captured something so simple in kind of a cool way. I guess it's kinda lame, but I liked it.
And last of all, my personal favorite, Summer climbing over the fence instead of going around. :) I told her that the sign meant that no horses could take that route today (we were on the horse trail) and she took that to mean that she was more than welcome to. (guess I should've explained a little better)

:) well, at least I put the pictures in, and they do look great if I do say so myself. Hopefully whoever read this was able to stand my humor throughout it. But, once it hits 9:00, I consider myself to be the funniest person out there. :)

Photojournalism


 So, this picture (well, all of them) I took while I was on a walk earlier today. This is one of the types of photos I like to take (obviously) and I thought that it looked really cool. It's actually pretty simple and plain. The regular house and tree showed darker, so it makes the sky seem bright, but not somehow.
 This is another one I took earlier today. I'm kind of a nerd for skys like these ones shown. I like the way each cloud contributes to this photos differently, but corrispondes the way it needs to so that it really brings the sky to life.
 Again, taken today. This one is one of my favorites. It shows a simple fence on the bottom, which, luckily, is actually really beat up. That's one of my favorite parts because it lets the light from the sky seep through its cracks.
 This one actually was supposed to show the hill more. I thought I could bring out the land and show how it blends or corresponds to the sky. Instead I got black on the bottom and bright beauty on the top. (and I love it!)
Lastly, (for this post anyway) is this simple pictue. I didn't intend on having it look this way. All I wanted was to get a picture of that weird looking cloud. It seemed really odd to me in comparisson to the others, but I think it's what makes the picture.
