Bay Area Girl Injected With Botox Removed From Mother's Custody

Pageant mom taken away from daughter for botox injections

California mother has lost custody of her 8-year old daughter after injecting her with botox.

The San Francisco Human Services Agency launched an investigation on Friday on Kerry Campbell after she admitted to "Good Morning America" that she injected botox into her daughter's face to help her in beauty pageants.

"It's pretty unusual for a mom to be injecting an 8-year-old with botox and certainly is grounds for an investigation," said Trent Rohrer of the San Francisco Human Services Agency on Friday.

Campbell and her daughter Britney, appeared on "Good Morning America" last week and defended their practices on the 8-year old, stating that they were necessary and normal in the pageant circuit.

"I just, like, don't, like, think wrinkles are nice on little girls," Britney said. Britney admitted the injections were painful, but said she was used to the pain. The admission sparked an uproar online, in the medical community and by child advocates. Campbell the news that her daughter asked for the injections. The mom is a part-time aesthetician and no stranger to botox herself, having done the treatment on her own face. Campbell wouldn't reveal who provides her with the Botox. She typically administers the Botox to Britney through a total of five shots, in three different locations on her face.

"The few times that we did it, it would lessen the lines," she said. "They wouldn't completely disappear, she's a kid. And we don't do so much to where it's going to make a big difference."

The launching of an investigation into Campbell does not mean that she will lose custody of her child, experts say. She could be redirected to parenting classes or nothing could happen at all if the botox was being administered lawfully, experts say.

Beauties, what do you think of this story? Should Campbell permanently lose custody of her 8-year old pageant daughter for her actions?
