The pageantry of young children has been controversial in the past, but never has the industry stooped to such a low. A mother injecting her child with Botox or any other injectable material used for aesthetic purposes is tantamount to abuse. When asked why she does it, the child’s reply is, “I don’t know…”. But when prompted by her mother she responds further, “I just, like, I don’t think, like, wrinkles are nice for little girls”. It is clear that she really has no concept of what the treatment does or even has a desire to have the injections.
Regardless of the child’s (or parents’) desire to have this treatment performed, using aesthetic injectable treatments on a minor is abuse. Further, providing Botox or any other material for use in minors is a crime. In this case the mother gets her Botox from, “a trusted source” who is “behind the doctor scene” implying that it is taken from a doctor’s office without the doctor’s knowledge. The child’s mother is not a doctor, she is a part-time aesthetician. So now we can add theft to the illegal injections that she is admittedly committing on a regular basis.
One would hope that we would have come a long way since the disaster of Jonbenet Ramsey. And in fact, it seems, we have. Only not in the right direction. You can learn more about the article source here:

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, non-surgical procedures are still on the rise despite the uncertain economy of 2009.
Treatment with Botulinum Toxin type A – commonly known as Botox Cosmetic or Dysport – was the most frequently performed non-surgical procedure in 2009. Close behind were injections of hyaluronic acid wrinkle fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Hydrelle and Prevelle Silk.
Although the growth seen in these procedures was relatively low, the figures are a reason to remain optimistic. Aesthetic Society President Renato Saltz said the reason for modest growth in the number of non-surgical enhancements was likely repeat patients and those postponing cosmetic surgery.
