The loss of a child is a profound grief no family should ever have to bear. The recent tragedy of a 14-year-old girl losing her life after an unsupervised, non-medical silicone injection is a devastating wake-up call. It is a stark, heartbreaking reminder of how quickly curiosity, insecurity, and the desire to fit in can lead to irreversible, life-threatening consequences.
