Brazilian Wax On Someone Who Is Underage – Other Concerning Details

Card image cap

I don’t even know if this is where I should be posting this and I’m at a complete loss at what to do. I need serious advice on this and what other people would do in this situation or how I should go about it. There is a woman who comes into the spa I work at frequently for Brazilian waxes and asked if we would give her TEN YEAR OLD daughter a Brazilian wax. This woman has mentioned to other estheticians about how she is going through stuff with dcs because of her daughter making “allegations of molestation” and the mother doesn’t seem concerned about this and instead asked if we could schedule her child for a Brazilian wax.

The moment she asked I felt sick to my stomach knowing what her daughter has possibly been through and couldn’t stop thinking about how her mother might have something to do with this because who even thinks about having their child’s genitals waxed. I told her absolutely not, that we don’t provide that service to children. Only to find out that the owner of the spa I work at who is an esthetician has given this CHILD a Brazilian wax and doesn’t seem to think there’s anything wrong with it. I’m completely shocked and disgusted because I don’t believe a 10 year old can consent to having a Brazilian wax, even if her mother consents – I don’t think a parent can offer consent on behalf of their child in this circumstance.

I dont understand how the owner thought this was okay, as an esthetician I would never feel okay doing this ESPECIALLY given the fact that this young girl has spoken about possibly being sexually abused. I feel like this isn’t a case of a daughter wanting a service done because her mom gets it done and if it was her mom and the owner should have shut that down immediately. I’m scared of losing my job for speaking out against it but I can’t live with myself if this little girl is getting abused then grows up and is like I went to this business full of women for Brazilian waxes when I was 10 and no one advocated for me or protected me even though there were so many red flags. I think me and the other girls I work with are going to speak to the owner about how this isn’t okay at all. But I feel like I need to contact DCS especially if this family is already being investigated. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this and I feel so sad and scared for that little girl.

Any advice would be so appreciated
