In a bizarre turn of events, Kerry Campbell may have lied about giving her 8-year-old daughter Botox in a desperate attempt to get publicity.

Campbell became an instant lightning rod when she went on national television recently and said she injected her young daughter to give her an edge in pageant competitions.

"It's beginning to look like Kerry's claims about giving her daughter Botox injections looks like a hoax, and that Kerry is making the entire thing up for publicity. Kerry is obsessed with reality television, and wants to become famous.

Britney Campbell, the 8-year-old who received Botox injections from her mother, Kerry, is being taken care of by family members after Child Protective Services in San Francisco removed Britney from her mother's house over the weekend, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

"Britney wasn't put in the foster care system. Officials were able to place Britney with family members that live in the area. Britney misses her mom, terribly. Britney is safe, and being well cared for. She doesn't understand why this is happening, and Britney thinks this is her fault," an insider told us.

The mother-daughter duo made international headlines last week after Kerry admitted to giving Brittany injections of Botox to help the 8-year-old's career in beauty pageants. Kerry, an aesthetician, isn't allowed under California law to give Botox injections, to anyone. Only a doctor or registered nurse can perform the procedures.
