re: #82 albusteve

is injecting botox a medical procedure?
is circumcision?
what about tatoos and body piercing?
abortion without parental consent etc…I just wonder where this thing is going

Botulinum toxin is the single most toxic substance, in the acute sense, known. Unlicensed injection of it into an eight year old for purely cosmetic purposes that may not even exist (Look, none of us like wrinkles, but worrying about them when you’re *eight*?!) seems like it may be enough to be considered endangering a child. I don’t know enough of the back story or legal issues with it to say for sure, though. It’s entirely possible this was just overreaction to media hype. I expect the courts to figure this all out.
