Child abuse

[somerfrost]

I happened to catch the first few minutes of "The View" just now and they were talking about a segment of this morning's "Today" show...they showed the clip, a mother and her eight year old daughter were being interviewed, the daughter is a child beauty queen contest participant. They actually showed pictures of this mother giving her daughter botox injections in her face! The little girl said "it hurts, but I'm getting use to it". When asked why she wanted these injections, the little girl at first said, "I don't really know". The mother then prompted her to say, "Oh yeah, to do away with wrinkles". Why isn't this mother in jail?? How can she come on national TV and brag about this and show pictures of her sticking a needle in her little girl's face?? These child beauty contests are an affront to decency and should be banned, a child that age should be a child, not manipulated by selfish parents into taking on the role of adults!
