What did your kids get for Christmas? If you're Sarah Burge, then the answer to that question is — wait for it — plastic surgery. The self-confessed "surgery addict," from Britain gave her 7-year-old daughter a £7,000 (that's roughly $11,000 in U.S. dollars) voucher for liposuction for Christmas. And while that may sound odd, it should pair nicely with the £6,000 (about $9,000) boob job voucher that the little girl got for her most recent birthday.| Previous Post How The Crunchy Chicken became 'The Non-Toxic Avenger' | Next Post 7-year-old Virginia girl dies tragically from food allergies |

She is not.
this woman is not mentally well and her children need to be protected from her. If there is a husband, where is he and what is he doing?
This is disgusting, she ought to be ashamed of herself. Also, her money has been wasted, the only thing 'barbie' about her is her platinum blonde horse hair.
I note no one has mentioned the husband, if there is one, who has footed all the bills for her, and now his daughters. I wonder what kind of man he is to allow this.
I don't think there is need to judge someones parenting skills as long as the children are healthy and are in a safe home. From what I read and what I saw in the video this mom just wants her children to look there best... whats wrong with that? It's not like shes forcing them to plastic surgery...
Are you being serious? This is borderline criminal behavior. The woman that they look up to as their role model is teaching them that the only way to find value in this society is through vanity and the modification of their "less than perfect" bodies. It is reprehensible to encourage a 7 year old to get a breast enhancement or liposuction surgery. Wow.
For one thing these are "children" they do not have the common sense (and obviously neither does this mother) to know that they were perfect the way they were when they were born. That their choice now can and will reflect how they think and act later on in life after the "FORMING" years - this includes Biological forming. If a female has too much endowment it can cause other HEALTH issues later in life... a very popular country/western singer and actress here in the U.S. has already stated as.... More
WOW~ This woman needs therapy. What she wishes to do with her own face and body should not be pushed off on her girls. Botox is just as much a chemical as coke or crack coke...so don't go there "lady". And I have never agreed that small children should wear SKIMPY bathing suits or clothing. Be plastic if you want Burge but let your kids be flesh and blood and hopefully { tho doubtful because of you} normal. I count that as down right abusive behavior on your part. And teaching your girl.... More
Who the hell gives a kid "investment bonds" for their birthday??
I am sorry for me I think Plastic surgery should be if you were disfigured in an accident other than that surgery is a horrible thing
I don't want to presume on a woman's parental skills. I think as long as the girls are happy and healthy and well adjusted and do well in school then it is fine. The preoccupation with beauty can be lethal for the girls however. Hopefully, she teaches her girls integrity and the beauty that lies within.
Botox is poison, that's child abuse!
I agree with you in part. But I do and will presume to speak my mind when a parent is openly and admitting to shooting her own kids with Botox and even shows stripper moves that she is teaching her youngest. When we stand silent on what stares us in the face and is openly seen, openly admitted to then we are no better than that Brittish Beauty pshychotic who calls herself a mother. Mothers don't pump their kids with chemicals, teach them how to strip, give boob augmentation gift.... More
Although I don't agree that such an emphasis should be placed on how one looks, and offering an injection to your 15 yr old isn't exactly stand up parenting, this article was written in a very one-sided way. If you watch a few of her videos, you would see that the vouchers she gave her girls, are not for plastic surgery, they are investment bonds. They can cash them in when they are older and use them for university if they wish, or use them for whatever they like. She has NOT encouraged.... More
Thank you for your comment, but I'm curious where you read that her vouchers were "investment bonds." Every article I read about this case called the vouchers "gift certificates" to her plastic surgeon. Which is exactly what I wrote. But I'm happy to admit I'm wrong if you could point me in the direction of a credible source.
Although I am pretty ok with all this, I wish I could hear words like education, choice. Maybe that wouldn't make the news so they cut it out. Who knows. She seemed like an opened person and didn't look stupid, which it surprising, because I expected her to be stupid. I think there is more to this story.
Exactly. In an interview given on TV she does say the story was sensationalized in the press and taken out of context and her children could cash the "investment bonds" in for their education when they are older. There is more to this, but often reporting is one sided. Everyone wants to sell their story. ;-)
If you look at the photograph in the video of the daughter with the voucher, it very clearly says "plastic surgery" on it. Whether or not she has to use the money for anything specific is irrelevant - that is a sick, sick way to develop a child's body image.
You know, I found myself OK with this too. I didn't expect myself to - but she does seem pretty down to earth.
I understand the intense reaction this post has generated. But I do want to clarify one thing. The plastic surgery gift certificate she gave her 7 year-old is for a **future** surgery, presumably when the little girl is older and decides on her own to have this done. Does that make it any better? Not to me. But I just wanted to clarify that she is not making her 7 year-old get a boob job.
Why is this woman not being treated like the child abuser that she is? In her own words on her website, she was "addicted to dangerous men and the power of money and sex" which led to the brutal violence she was a victim of. She made her 15-year-old undergo a procedure designed for *aging* faces, and now she's teaching her 7-year-old how to be a trashy stripper. All that screams either that she's a dangerous, it's-all-about-me! narcissist, or she's just a very psychologically damaged.... More
I hope that her girls do throw away all their makeup, expensive clothes & plastic surgery vouchers, and chose to love themselves for who they really are, & not who they pretend they want to be.
If they've been following her, why hasn't her little girl been taking away? forcing your 7 year old to get plastic surgery and be a hooker screams child abuse.
Those POOR CHILDREN; they are being taught that beauty IS skin deep. The mother could be an attractive, older woman with style but instead she looks like an aging hooker.
I understand the part about beauty not being skin deep.
Bu you really don't know what this woman looked like. She was beaten so terribly that her eyesocket was out of her head. You need to get your facts straight. her face would be zombie-ish and not in a mean way. Lean what she was through idiot.
The world is a mess, and I just... NEED TO RULE IT!
I live in the USA and I have never seen such a horiffic video. This woman needs to grow up and accept the fact she is 52 and not 20 something. This is a totally sick video.....
She thinks she looks great, when in reality she looks like a woman who could age gracefully trying to look like she's still 20. Got news for you, honey- it's not working, and you're going to end up a sad, wrinkled up old woman at an early age. Hopefully your daughters will catch on and refuse to allow you to force your lunacy on them!
How does she seem like a good mum? Giving a 15 yr old botox injections?? Injecting your child with botulism for the sake of beauty! Come on! What is wrong with some of you here?
She isn't a good mum, she looks like an old hooker going to the pub. I don't think she looks attractive whatsover, she is insane!
She seems like a good mum, she knows what she is doing. Making a secure future for her kids.
Hmmm if this is an improvement, the original must have been pretty scary--she obviously suffers terribly from a lack of self esteem and is passing it on to her daughters--hopefully, they will eventually get some better influences in their lives as they get older--sad, sad, sad that a parent chooses to focus on physical appearance above and beyond all else, and apparently adores the attention from the media, or she wouldn't continue to do this to her kids--really sad!
Your insults are harsh to this mother. I think she loves her daughters very much. She i s not beating them, they are clean, and well fed. You can see them smile when they are with their mother. Maybe 7 is young to learn the art of pole dancing. She is however in the privacy of her own home and fully dressed. Many gyms offer this as a form of excerise. I wonder if there is an age limit for these classes. In short therre are a lot of terribly unfit parents you should be helping children.... More
Jennifer,
You obviously have no children...
Okay. So which insults are you referring to?
And sure she loves her daughters very much but that does not mean she is guiding them properly. I don't see any privacy in these lessons on pole dancing. Yes its inside her home, but a million people can see the video. Very private!
Apart from imposing herself on them, she is also teaching them that looks matter much more than the intellect. All this at the age of 7. Horrible!
If you do not categorize such parents as terribly.... More
She still looks 51
she a disgusting excuse for a mother. your telling your child basically she is ugly the way she is and the only way that she is going to be able to be a part of society and be anything is to change herself. what you are isn't good enough. how you were made was incorrect and you need to improve on it. she has created a lifestyle for her children where they are going to be strippers or hookers and have bad self esteem poor body image and self hatred. this is the life she is creating for her.... More
I feel so horrible for her children. Just because she felt like she was not good enough does not mean she has the right to engrain in her children feelings of never being good enough and over sexualization. Is she not worried about the mental health of her children. Also, isn't that child abuse? Didn't one women get her children taken away from her for this kind of stuff in the United States?
What doctor worth his Hippocratic oath would perform these procedures on children??
