On 7 February 2017, World News Daily Report published a story pushing the claim that a seven-year-old California girl received breast implants after hectoring her mother for two years. According to the story, Dana Manson obliged her daughter Juliet after being advised by renowned psychiatrist Eduardo Ramirez that the procedure would boost her self-esteem: As in other faux reports, the story cites a legitimate news source (in this case, NBC News) without providing a link to back up its allegation. Besides a digitally manipulated picture depicting a young girl's head on a woman's body, the story also included photos of Ramirez and Dana Manson. But online searches for the latter images point back to similarly dubious sites. WNDR does have a disclaimer that says it is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information associated with the site, but adding: Other versions of this story have circulated describing Juliet as an 8-year-old girl. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that, while there is no specific law concerning a minimum age for cosmetic surgery, patients under the age of 18 must receive parental consent before undergoing any procedure.
