Facebook Bans Mother from Posting Photograph of Daughter, Aged 5, Pretending to Breastfeed Sister, Aged 2 (crimes, Seattle)

[helenejen]

Jeez, I hate knowing that some perv out there would find this sexual. I don't think that there is anything wrong with the picture, per se. Children imitate what they see and, if they have a mother who is breastfeeding, they see a lot of that. But putting the picture up on Facebook might be too much.

"A mother has been banned from using Facebook after she posted a photograph of her two daughters in which one of them is pretending to breastfeed the other. Facebook sent the Seattle mother an explanatory message saying the snap violated the company’s community standards and Ms Ferrari put on a week-long expulsion from the site."

'Local police calls it ‘poor parenting’ saying Lauren Ferrari has no control over where the snap of the five-year-old and her two-year-old sister may end up. Stefanie Thomas of the Seattle Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children said that although it is clear that the photograph is not child porn, posting it is irresponsible."

Some things are not supposed to be on the Internet.

And the worst part is that the mother doesn't think it's a big deal.

I am a parent and it disturbed me. And I am not disturbed easily lol

Same here. 1. I would never allow my children to do that. 2. I would certainly never post it on the internet...I know it was not intended to be sexual or weird but it is and its disturbing to me and I am very pro parent etc but no that' just to far.Who knows who can see that picture and what they may do and I have heard of less getting kids taken from parents as well...better to be safe than sorry.

If you look at that picture and don't find it disturbing you might want to question your mental health, it's wrong.

Taking a picture of it with the implied impression you are encouraging the behaviour is questionable in itself but attempting to share with any anonymous bozo on Facebook? Is this lady mentally challenged or otherwise cognative reasoning impaired?

[KUchief25]

Oh no whatever will she do if she's banned from facebook for a week. Now the rest of the world who didn't care about all the pictures she posted of her children now have to see em because of this ridiculous article. Note to parents I don't care about your kids daily activities or how cute they look in whatever nonsense you dress em up in or milking each other according to this one. Nobody cares even if they act like they do.

While no normal person would consider it sexual a pedo just might.

I wish this was the level of all of our problems.

Some might call it poor parenting, others might call it soft porn.

The real issue was posting it on FB. Kids do all sorts of weird things. I'm sure people on here, and their kids, have done weirder.
