7-Year-Old Gets Boob Job Certificate for Her Birthday! Really?
Now most 7-year-olds, for their birthday they would get a brand new Malibu Barbie, a shiny pair of Twinkle Toes or maybe a American Girl doll. But Poppy, the child of Sarah Burge aka the Human Barbie, she got something vastly un-age-appropriate for turning seven. Her mother – who is a self-confessed plastic surgery addict – gave her daughter a gift certificate for a boob job. Yes, a boob job.
What did young Poppy think of the gift? She reportedly “squealed with delight.” And it was apparently something she had wanted saying, “’I can’t wait to be like Mummy with big boobs. They’re pretty.” Her mom said, “Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she’s 16, when it’s legal.” She added that, “If she develops naturally big boobs, she can have something else done with it.”
It’s pretty shocking that a mother would give her young daughter a certificate for a boob job or any kind of plastic surgery for that matter. The 7-year–old has years to develop into what she is “supposed” to naturally look like, and this seems likely to instill a negative self-image -an idea of you will grow up to be imperfect but that surgeons can fix you.
One thing, Sarah Burge (who has reportedly spent close to a million dollars on plastic surgery for herself) loves some publicity. So perhaps this was just a wacky way to get written up? Or does she already think her 7-year-old need a boob job?

Ellen Christian commented on Jun 09 11 at 8:36 amThat is just seriously frightening. It’s bad enough to be addicted to it as an adult but to encourage it at 7 is just awful. What a horrid way to encourage the beginning of disliking our bodies at such a young age.
Sarita commented on Jun 09 11 at 9:07 amIt’s people like this who should have been sterilized for the greater good of humanity
Berenis commented on Jun 09 11 at 9:44 amwtf is the mother thinking is she stupid or dum how u give a shit like that to your child
Gretchen commented on Jun 09 11 at 12:29 pmHow sicko is she?????? basically she handed her a piece of paper and said ‘hey guess what…your just not good enough, already…and I will only love you when your ‘perfect’….she should have included a gift certificate for future therapy sessions that poor little girl is going to need it to get over her mothers gross ‘so called love’.
I think the mother should be put into mandatory counseling and I hope the daugther finds a positive role model for her life because her mother is a joke.
Adrianna commented on Jun 09 11 at 12:53 pmThat makes me sick
Ashley commented on Jun 09 11 at 1:22 pmI think that this is truely disgusting to do for a child, and there is something obviously seriously wrong with the mother, she need mental help. I think she should get her child taken away why isnt CPS involved. seriously.This is techinacally child abuse. Making her 7 year old insecure about her body, just because she has an image issue with herself. Some people should just keep there legs shut and NOT have kids especially if you dont know how to parent.
Sarah commented on Jun 09 11 at 3:33 pmSome people should not be allowed to have children, let alone be anywhere near them!
Sasha commented on Jun 10 11 at 8:35 pmOk what kind of mother would do this? Its bad enough you have all these “hot” actors and everything flaunting around on TV but to give your 7 year old a boob job certificate for when they are 16 is ridiculous! You should go back to parenting classes because obviously you seriously need them! Nothing like saying.. “here your body isn’t as perfect as it should be”!!!
valerie thompson commented on Jun 10 11 at 8:44 pmOh my god that is so wrong wtf is wrong with ppl this is what we get for ppl being so vain and always worrying about their appearance were all made differently and I think the world should embrace that and stop doing things like this to little girls who Already have self esteem issues as young teens parents shouldn’t reinforce this!
Symantha Von Cloedt commented on Jun 10 11 at 9:09 pmWhat some people won’t do to get their 15 minutes of fame. She should not be aloud to keep her child(ren) if this is her idea of being a good roll model let alone parent. You should be instilling confidence and self-respect in your children not filling their heads with the notion that they are imperfect in any way. Social services should look into her.
Witchie commented on Jun 10 11 at 9:11 pmI personally have never had plastic surgery and wouldn’t choose to do so. I think we can all agree that society is being bombarded with images of “perceived” perfection that leave many questioning their personal beauty. I’m not sticking up for this lady but it’s not like she’s MAKING her daughter have plastic surgery now, she has to wait until she’s 16. An “adult” age like 18 would seem better…..it could buy her daughter a few more years of self esteem & self love building. (I wanna note that just because someone has fake breasts, doesn’t mean they lack self love). This woman being addicted to plastic surgery is another story. But just like many wear makeup, its not that we don’t love ourselves, we just want to accentuate what we have. I think in some ways this is similar to a daughter who wants a tattoo or piercing “like mommy”, and the mother gives her a gift certificate to get it when she’s older. I definitely think it’s odd to present that to a 7 year old but maybe it will just keep the kid quiet and from asking over & over if she can have fake boobs like mom! Haha. Who knows. Its just a bit annoying the headline makes it seem as if shes making her do it now. That would definitely be wrong and unhealthy. Different strokes for different folks. I saw a kid my daughters age (13) last week with a tattoo. I was like “woah!”. You also see really young boys with both ears pierced, young kids with highlighted hair. Times are definitely changing.
Jennifer B commented on Jun 10 11 at 9:23 pmthis is just sad, what mother would do something like this? this is what’s wrong with young girls these days. instead of parents telling them how much they love them, how beautiful they are, and that they’re perfect just the way they are, they’re giving them botox and plastic surgery. No wonder so many girls have low self esteem. this makes me sick.
Tawnya commented on Jun 10 11 at 9:40 pmLet the child be a child not a rape victim.
Donna Longino commented on Jun 10 11 at 11:33 pmOMG!!!!! I JUST DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS EXCEPT SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THAT CHILD FROM THAT WOMEN . I AM NOT SURE WHATS WORSE THIS OR YOUR STORY ABOUT THE BOY WHOS PARENTS HAD HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY AT HOOTERS AND SERVED A BOOB CAKE. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE.
amber j commented on Jun 11 11 at 1:23 ami think that is just digusting, having a daughter of my own not much younger than this girl. for her mother to offer that is sickening, why not let children be children? why make them grow up faster than they should? thats excatly what this woman is doing to offer her child that kind of gift, its like she is sayin when u develop naturally u still wont be good enough. in my opinion i believe this is horrible.
Kristin Contreras commented on Jun 11 11 at 3:39 amIt’s amazing how many creative ways there are to screw up our children.
brandy commented on Jun 11 11 at 12:39 pmok i am disturbed over this and i feel very strongly that the mother needs some fast mental treatment before she destroys her child self estem even more. wht kind of example is that giving to her. beauty is everything. no its not!!! she is another sick individual who lives in our society. its just sad. god help this child!!
Pat commented on Jun 12 11 at 12:44 pm“Now most 7-year-olds, for their birthday they would get a brand new Malibu Barbie, a shiny pair of Twinkle Toes or maybe a American Girl doll.”
I guess they got the shiny pair right!
anon commented on Jun 12 11 at 12:48 pmI hope that kid rebels hard
judy commented on Jun 12 11 at 1:14 pmSend the mother a manual,she seems to have missed the part that says a seven year old wants ponies,dolls and moms love and aproval. My seven year old is loved as she is for her perfect,indivudual self. I cried as I read how this mother has destroyed her little girls innocence and given her the gifts of self loathing,self doubt,bad body image,low self esteem,bad habits and blatently told her little girl that she will never be good enough until she fixes herself. Does this mom not know nothing was broken! Except the heart of a little girl who forever will look for aproval from her mom,her looks and others. Sad!so very very sad!
Rebecca commented on Jun 12 11 at 3:59 pmI don’t agree with giving your child that type of a complex, but is it really any different than a child seeing their mom dye their hair, get tattoos, ect? Little girls want to mimmic mothers. End of story. She didn’t give her daughter a boob job for godssake. She gave her a voucher. She was saying that if you want the lifestyle I have, I will support you, when you are of legal age. I wouldn’t allow my child to get a boob job, but at 16 or 17 if she asked for a tattoo, I’d let her get one. Why? Because that’s something that her entire family has always done and enjoy as often as possiable. To each family their own. No one has any right to judge this woman for giving her daughter a voucher. Did anyone ever think that maybe she just said that to quiet her daughter for the time being, until she can talk some sense into her?
WHO CARES what another parent does. Worry about you and yours. For the love of god, people.
