Saw an awful documentary last night about a glamour ‘model’ mum who fake tans her 11 year old girl and gives her acrylic nails and bleach blond hair. It was on BBC3 and if you get a chnce to watch it, catch it on iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cl393
It is so shocking that parents can do this with their kids- I loved the bit where they fail to get a job via a model agency because the girl doens’t look natural enough/at all- not sure what the mum expected- “Yeah, NEXT have just been in touch for a new catalogue shoot and they want a fake-tan bottle-blond kid for their clothing range.”
While I’m on the subject, how is it legal to pierce kids’ ears? My heart dies a bit when I see a baby/toddler with an earring (particularly boys)- Are you allowed to pierce any part of a minor? Can I pierce their nipple, or tongue, or eyebrow? While I’m at it, can I give them a tattoo?
