Mother Gives 8-Year-Old Daughter ‘Virgin Waxes’ And Botox Injections

Today in disturbing stories of childcare, a mother in San Francisco says she regularly injects her eight year old daughter’s face with Botox and fillers in the hopes of making her a star.

Kelly Campbell says she first gave her daughter Britney a Botox injection on her eighth birthday — as a present, of course — and has since repeated the regime (with the addition of Restalyne) every three months. Campbell told The Sun, “I make her frown before injecting, which helps identify a potential wrinkle. This means we can get it before it even develops.”

Even scarier, Campbell purchases the Botox and Restalyne online or, better yet, from her local “beauty dealer”, which is to say: one of the other mothers at her school. Campbell also administers the injections herself, but don’t worry — it’s not illegal, and she swears its safe. “I know the correct amount to give her as I am a trained beautician.”

Toddlers & Tiaras may have cornered the market on terrifying eyebrow waxes, but Campbell is coming up strong. She says she plans to get Britney’s eyebrows waxed this year and then hopes to get them “lightly” tattooed into an arched shape, and she also gives her daughter a monthly “virgin wax” in the hopes of stemming future pubic hair growth.

“What I am doing for Britney now will help her become a star. I know one day she will be a model, actress or singer, and having these treatments now will ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer.

Sadly, Britney now checks “every night for wrinkles” and say she wants a “boob and nose job soon, so that [she] can be a star.” And while it’s almost silly of us to think that maybe, just maybe her mother would be concerned with her daughter’s physical and mental well-being, well, that’s clearly too much to ask.

“I’d rather she be perfect and have a little frozen face,” Campbell says. “Some people say her eyebrows look a little pulled already but they look striking.”

    This just might be the most depraved story I’ve read this year! This poor little girl is receiving no other message than “beauty counts most”. No discussions on “inner beauty”, values, what makes a good person, etc. etc. Tragic.

  • mrsring

    Uh… Hello!?!?!????? Children and family services!?!?!? This child should be taken OUT of this house!!!!!

  • Apalled

    Makes me sick. This woman should be teaching her daughter she is beautiful the way she is. What she is doing is sickening. Girls are often insecure as it is-let’s just make it worse. Her daughter should be taken away from her and given to a family who will love her for who she is and what she looks like without that crap.

  • Mollination

    This is the first depraved story I actually thought must be a joke. It wouldn’t be a funny joke, but I couldn’t concieve it in my brain any other way. It’s sad we’re just short of April Fools day or else it might actually be an option. This is so incredibly sad I don’t know what else to say. Where on earth did an 8 year old get the idea that a boob job was desirable? She already thinks her body is imperfect and not good enough. Not once in her life did she get to enjoy those precious childhood years where you don’t even know beauty is something people worry over. And the virgin waxing —– that is so incredibly foul. How can a child legally be tattooed?!!?! That’s permanent! She’s not old enough to decide what she wants on her body forever. I want to go cry.

    “What I am doing for Britney now will help her become a star…one day.”

    No: What you are doing for Britney now will give her need for much therapy one day.

    If anyone wants to report this mother the number for SF child protection services is 800-856-5553 or 415-558-2650 (CPS Hotline)

    Or you could email the mayor mayoredwinlee@sfgov.org

    Right on, Mary!!!

    “I also want a boob and nose job soon, so that I can be a star.”

    Hmm. Sounds like Britney knows got her heart set on a bright future.

    Which leads me to wonder, why be a vain older woman scanning for wrinkles when you can be an ambitious 8 year old girl dreaming about her first boob job and impending box office movie role?

    That is just disturbing…. That poor little girls mother is teaching her daughter that beauty means everything when it does not… personality means most….. This little girls mother needs serious help… So if I were to get a boob job and nose job would that make me a star?

  • Cjsimmer

    Sounds like abuse!! where is the authorities.

    Boob job, she is only 8, does she have any boobs yet?

    Never mind the fact that to be an actual star, you really do have to have something more than the name “Britney” and a frozen face. I like poking fun at inane celebrity comments now and then too, but for the most part anyone who’s snagged significant media attention has at least one of the following: -marketing savvy, brains, wit, work ethic; -the money and business smarts to hire someone with one or more of those things.

    Britney and her mom have none of the above. After this story has its run, they’ll have nothing but botulism toxin’d, tatooed faces.

    Also, I really wish I didn’t know about the virgin wax thing. Utterly horrifying.

  • Rainbowapplefizz

    Ew! This woman sounds friggin psycho. Feeding her 8-year-old all this garbage and turning her into the next Heidi Montag. Someone has to intervene here!

  • Danno02

    I guess I’m clueless about this subject (and Im glad that I am!) but I didnt think 8 year old girls would have pubic hair yet…?

  • Anonymous

    Unfortunately, there is nothing technically ILLEGAL about what she’s doing here. Otherwise, I am sure protective services would have been all over this lady’s a$$

  • rach3l

    Administering Botox to a child in California IS illegal if you aren’t a licensed physician or a licensed nurse administering it under a physician’s orders. She also is too young to be legally tattooed. No legit parlor would touch anyone under the age of 18, not even with parental consent. I expect that this lady will be on the wrong end of a lawsuit pretty fucking fast and have that kid taken away, as well she should.

  • mimi2006

    this is just so sick. what happens when she turns 12 and goes through puberty? the child needs to be taken out of the house. and where is the father or any other concerned family member?

  • Joanne

    If you read the original story on this from “The Sun”, this woman is not from California, she is from England. The fact that it is in “The Sun” makes me doubt its validity. Even with this dubious source, it is still a horrible thing to do to children. What message is it sending to the children? That physical beauty should be attained at any cost and it is the most important aspect of a human. It’s just wrong, wherever it is happening.

  • Michelle

    Dear Kelly,

    You are sick!!!!!! And have no business calling yourself a mother. YOU are the poster parent for forced sterilization. Someone should remove your daughter from your home and toss you in jail. Disgusting!!!!!

    As a mother of a very beautiful 2 year old daughter, I want to say that this woman should be shot! At 8 years old this child has not even finished growing! A nose job? Yeah right, that makes sense seeing as how her body will continue to grow and change as she gets older most likely ruining any “jobs” she gets done. The same goes for a boob job! And no eight year old has any hair for a wax..if she does then maybe she needs to be tested for fake hormones. This whole thing makes me want to protect my daughter even more from people like that. Kelly should realize her daughter is beautiful no matter what she looks like on the outside..it’s what’s inside that counts!!!!!!!

  • Hnmarsh

    That her mother is obsessed enough with the idea of her daughter’s pubic hair to force monthly waxes on a child as a preventative measure seems to me to be a massive warning sign for sexual abuse. Is anyone close enough to report this woman to the state child protective services?

    Who cares what kind of warped rational this woman has come up with to justify her actions? The worth of inside or outside beauty is irrelevant to the fact that this woman is abusing her child. She is injecting botox illegally, without proper training, and risking nerve, muscle and bone damage to pursue her own fantasy.

  • Christian Melançon

    Can someone do something??? Please! This is a chid!!!

  • omg

    not necessarily. Protective services may not have a clue, regardless of all the press. a formal complaint may be the necessary action.

  • omg

    well, I emailed the mayor. hopefully some action will be taken.

  • :D

    Finally, someone who gets it. Being a star is tough shit, you need to start early, or it’s just not going to happen. This mother is probably the most caring stage mom in the world!

  • :D

    THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO BE THROWN IN JAIL!!!!!! THIS IS A SAD CASE OF MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PHYSICAL ABUSE!!!! SOME OF THESE PARENTS ARE SICK IN THE HEAD!!! SHE’S ONLY 8 YEARS OLD!! COME ON LADY!!!!

  • Anna

     Maybe this is the only way this kid will ever make anything of herself in life. Her parents obviously lack intelligence and common sense so her chances are slim. Its either this or prostitution, personally I don’t really see the difference.
