It took a national television report and an outcry from thousands upon thousands of people, but Child Protective Services investigated the San Francisco woman who gave her 8 year old girl botox and decided to remove the girl from the custody of her mom. The mom has previously said she will not identify the person who gives the botox to her so that she can inject her daughter. The mom did it to keep her daughter looking young for beauty pageants. You know, the people at ABC must have been beside themselves that some woman was willing to go on the air and actually admit she did this to her child. Hopefully the child is with someone in the family who realizes how awful this is.
It took all that to get this lady investigated, but Mimi and Nick Cannon's investigation was right away? If I lived in California, I'd move because it seems like a backwards state.
ReplyDeleteWe now live in a country where a child of 8 is considered old.
ReplyDeleteI'm doomed.
For the record, in defense of SF, the woman does not live in SF, nor did she give her real name in the interview.

@Sue Ellen,
ReplyDeleteIt's the same state that allows the train wreck posted below to continue down the tracks.
@Patty
ReplyDeleteI had her in mind when I wrote that. It kills me that the Judge was so ho-hum about it. Like, oh that crazy Lindsay. Always up to something.
It's a little embarrassing, really.
For all of you who don't live in California, this is not about what the state does or does not do. This is about what a county government does (or in some cases a city government). LA Child Protective Services is not the same as SF CPS or Orange County CPS or San Diego CPS, just as the LA City cops are not the same as the LA County Sheriff, or the CHP (California Highway Patrol).
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge state, so if you are going to pin anything on the state as whole, please limit it to electing an idiot, philandering, out of wedlock child fathering, has-been actor with no public policy experience as governor. We'll be suffering the damage of that trainwreck for decades to come (along with our completely stupid legislative term limits)
Back on topic, this woman also WAXED this 8 year old child, possibly including her bikini line. I'm sure there is more but I wonder if its better that we never hear anymore about it, for the sake of that poor child.
@FS
ReplyDeleteYou're right-ish, but there is a state Supreme Court and you'd think they'd do something about it, so I blame the state as a whole. Sorry.
Sue Ellen, what exactly would you like the State Supreme Court to do? They are reactive, not proactive, and they can only consider the cases that make their way to their docket. Which 'it' are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteI would like a judge, or a lawyer to be so offended that everything that they stand for and are meant to defend is flagrantly disregarded because certain counties are star fucked. I would then like them to bring this to the attention of the Supreme Court of California, and if that doesn't work, then the Federal Supreme Court. Sure, it'd take years, but Jesus.
ReplyDeleteAnd the "it's" I'm on about are Lindsay, Charlie, Mel, Old fucking Rick Springfield. The whole motley crew.
I agree with you there, celebrities in general get off easy in LA County. Honestly, Chris Brown is the only one that I can think of in recent memory who was really held to account for what he did. I wish I could pinpoint a reason for this trend, I seriously wonder if they get a pass because politicians and the courts are afraid that the entire industry will pack up and move to Florida creating a massive hit to the economy. All those empty hilltop or beachside mansions with no one to live in them, all those empty seats at trendy Japanese fusions restaurants, all those valets with no cars to park...
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to pull the race card, but Chris Brown is the only non-white in that crew. I guess it also happened in Virginia, and not California. I am assuming that it happened there because that's where he did his community service.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. It's terrible and if you or I cussed out a cop, we'd still be in jail.
No the Chris Brown beatdown of Rihanna happened in LA, and he is doing his probation and checkins here. I dont think his case was a race issue, I think it was because it was Domestic Violence and there was a huge public demand for him to be held accountable in LA, rumored to include a lot of people within the law enforcement and courts community. Women were furious when it started looking like he might be getting off easy. I think he still got less than an average joe would have, but it was still something substantial.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would ban child beauty pageants. Make them totally and completely illegal so that kids aren't subjected to the crazy shit their half wit mothers put them through so they can gain a title that means absolutely nothing in the real world. All children are beautiful to their parents...but to make them sing dance and blow kisses like trained monkeys just rubs me the wrong way. Let kids be kids and save the pageantry for when they are old enough to appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I SO hope she's with someone else in THAT family! The family that thought this was OK and never reported any of this to CPS. The family that listened to her mother brag about all this for years and years. The family that created the mother that did this to her child. Yeah, that's where she needs to be.
ReplyDeleteSue Ellen. Don't pull the race card. Chris Brown was NOT held to account because he was black. He was held to account because he beat up America's Sweetheart, denied it. Lied. Showed no remorse. People were furious. Rhinna's face was a complete mess with cuts and bruises.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember OJ Simpson? He got off too easily.
