One report profiles a parent in New South Wales, Australia, who says she tries to influence her children’s appearance through unconventional methods. The article focuses on Leisa Mari Bekkers, who says she is raising two teenagers and describes her parenting approach as “life’s work.” It states that her children are aged 14 and 19 and that neither has taken pharmaceutical drugs. The report further claims she promotes practices aimed at changing facial features as children grow, including cranial manipulation and “thumb-pulling,” which are described as techniques used to reshape the face. It also says she promotes dietary changes—specifically a beef rib diet—intended to support a defined jawline. The same piece repeats these claims in a separate news listing. The overall account presents the parent’s perspective on how she believes appearance outcomes can be influenced during development, while describing methods that are not typical medical or cosmetic interventions in mainstream guidance. The article does not include independent medical assessment within the provided text.
