Below is a link to a video from my local tv news of a mother who wanted to remember her son by posting pictures of him on FB. He died 8 hrs after birth from a condition that stopped his skull from completely growing around his brain. FB has censored the pix and is threatening to delete the moms account if she posts anymore pix of her baby boy!!!!!!
(If someone has already posted a link to this video I apologize)
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED THAT THIS IS EVEN AN ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will look into this!!! Apparently FB isn't aware of site such as this one with many many women ready to stand up and fight for what's right here!!! I'm proud of the media for once! I'm glad they aired this segment!!!
I think you should report this to Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope as well as RESOLVE. They'd be all over this.
That poor woman.

I just sent this to them (it probably could have been worded better but I was FUMING!!!):
I understand the terms and conditions of facebook, but until you are willing to FULLY comply with your own policies, by ridding facebook of the items in safety rule #7: "You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence." you have NO right to be censoring images of children such as the late child of Heather Walker (featured here: https://www.abc24.com/news/local/story/Mid-South-Mothers-Baby-Pictures-Censored-By/eycJdFWDZkyxyeuMMc9ASw.cspx?rss=1455 ). It is NOT an image depicting graphic violence, unless you call a natural malformation of someone's body graphic violence (which it is NOT). There are far too many women posting slutty pictures, people cursing out others, and many more crude and disgusting images and words. You have no just cause for censoring images of a natural process. This is not some disgusting images, this is a HUMAN BEING!
Well said. It's ridiculous that they censored these pictures. It makes me sad to see that the mom cannot even share pictures of her baby with her friends and family.
