...there's scarce evidence that the little girl and mother exist as they're presented in the story. The pair, who are called Kerry and Britney Campbell in the piece, have almost no online footprint. The California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology has no record of a Kerry Campbell, and there isn't anyone with a similar name licensed in the San Francisco area. Even a search of Yelp and Facebook didn't turn up anything. And if Britney is competing in Bay Area beauty pageants, she should probably show up somewhere on their websites, but I checked several and found nothing. Nanette Mathias of California's Our Little Miss organization also told me that its pageants don't allow girls to compete if they're using adult treatments like Botox and waxing.

I'm convinced this is a hoax. The kid's words sound scripted specifically to elicit a horrified response, and the story just begs to be torn apart. I could be wrong, but for the sake of humanity I hope I'm not. Anyway, the story seems to have originated in The Sun, a British tabloid, and I don't recall their reputation being all that stellar. I googled "Kerry Campbell", "botox" and "hoax" and it looks like I'm not the only one thinking this way:

I'm calling BS on this story until someone convinces me otherwise.
