Disabled nine-year-old walks again thanks to botox injection

A little boy crippled by a debilitating illness can walk again - thanks to Botox. The toxin, usually only used for cosmetic purposes, has transformed nine-year-old William Scott's life.

He has spent the last 10 months off school and the family had to move his bedroom downstairs because going to bed had become to great an effort. But now William, of Great Lumley, County Durham, is recovering thanks to the skill of surgeons and a four month course of Botox injections. (Daily Mail)
