AN investigation was under way into a mother who was shown in a photo on American national TV giving an anti-wrinkle Botox injection to her eight-year-old daughter, a beauty pageant contestant, even though the shots can be painful and aren't recommended for anyone under 18 for cosmetic purposes.
Trent Rhorer, executive director of the San Francisco Human Services Agency, told KGO-TV on Thursday that officials want to talk with Kerry Campbell and her daughter Britney. "It's pretty unusual for a mom to be injecting an eight-year-old with Botox and certainly is grounds for an investigation," Rhorer said.
Campbell appeared with her daughter on Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America." She said she enrolls Britney in beauty pageants and got the idea to give her Botox from other mothers.
The girl said on the show that she experiences pain and sometimes cries a little, but has gotten used to the injections and looks better after the treatment.
