Good Morning America repeated false information about "Botox Mom"

[RandySF]

Turns out the mom who says she gave her 8-year-old daughter Botox beauty treatments doesn't actually live in San Francisco.
Nor, for that matter, is her real name Kerry Campbell.

San Francisco officials were deluged with inquiries last week after the woman went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she was administering Botox injections to her 8-year-old daughter to give her a better chance of winning child beauty contests. She said she was a trained esthetician and that the girl's name was Britney. The city said it would look into it all.

Reporters were unable to track down a San Francisco address or phone number for the woman. Our sources tell us that's because she doesn't live here and isn't Kerry Campbell.

4. Her name and location are bogus.

"As for the woman's true identity and where she actually lives, that remains unclear -- but apparently, she isn't a Bay Area resident. How much of the rest of her story was on the level -- the Botox, the child beauty contests -- also is not known.

ABC News, citing unnamed sources, said child welfare officials where the family lives removed the girl from her home over the weekend."

Then how the hell did the news crew find her?

3. Her real name is Sarah Connor
