How can anyone think this is okay?

Edited by moderator. Please don't post pictures of children unless they are your own.

I think it's a little TMI for the baby when it gets older and could possibly see it...but am I missing something important here? B/c I don't actually seem to think anything about the post is all that bad.

girlmama83 · February 2013

I'm mobile bumping so I can't read the full title of this post. Not sure if the issue is talking about the child's circumcision on Facebook or that the baby is having complications since the surgery.

Cangel24 · February 2013

Yeah, for your first post you should probably explain your point b/c we're all very confused.

sparkymcgeee · February 2013

Ugh, I so don't have the energy or time to deal with this today. First post? Yeah totally legit.

magdalina.h · February 2013

Are you asking about circumcisions being okay or the post on FB?

PrimRoseMama · February 2013

This is odd.

amarissa85 · February 2013

Don't understand this post.

I assume her point is "How can anyone be so brutal and do this to their child?" so she can stir shiit up. Well, we circ'd DS and we'll circ this next one, too. Go ahead and judge me, I don't care.

All of this. Seriously? The only reason to post this is to start a shiit storm. Great first post though ::eyeroll::

Eta if I found out someone took a picture of my child and posts of mine off Facebook to biitch about MY parenting decisions and try to make an example out of me, they'd have a BIG problem on their hands.

Yes, but also, why would you put something like this on FB? I mean, I think it's quite personal if you decide to circ your baby boy, and if it did go wrong why post it? Of course I get the point of stealing your pics and using them somewhere else, but that can happen with any pic, so I'd be careful with which pics I upload of LO.

Until now I haven't even posted an u/s pic to all my friends just because I find it weird. Probably I will also not be posting my LO as often as many parents do.

Well I think its a little hypocritical of women and ppl in general to say circumcision just no big deal. Lord knows if we started doing it to girls in america there'd be hell to pay.

If ur gonna be a big doofus and post pictures of ur kids on FB for everyone to see you better expect crap like this. They were asking for it anyway by basically saying "Hey our newborn was pretty sick to begin with but we were so dark stoked to get his junk chopped up that we just couldnt wait! And uh now hes doing badly again."

It's not for everyone to see. My settings are locked down so only friends and family see them. If someone took a picture of my kid and posted it on a site somewhere, I'd be livid.

THIS, especially the bolded part! I think there are laws against this? I have my settings on FB to where only my friends see my posts and pics..I sure hope this isn't a "friend' of hers! And weird, its her first and only post? hmm...

Personally I wouldn't. I do however know someone who was stealing pics and I reported her. I have never posted an ultrasound pic from this pregnancy or DS's pregnancy bc I don't think people need to see my ute. People definitely over share, I keep my parenting choices private but I do post pictures and milestones from DS because we have a large amount of out of state friends and family. If any of my information was used incorrectly, yeah, I would be pissed.

Yikes. I just don't even know where to start with this.

I will agree with others that if someone took my kid's picture, and was posting it on a public message board without my permission, I would be beyond angry.

This was the original source where I saw it, and no I'm not a pagan, it was just reposted and showed up on my page

Several people have public pages and all you have to do is type in 'circumcision' or 'circumcised' in the search bar then click search public posts and tons of things exactly like this pop up, every day.

Just curious, why do you feel the need to criticize other people's choices? What do you hope to gain? You shouldn't take someone else's kid's photo and put it on a public website. That is shameful behavior.

bluesky53 · February 2013

People don't understand that circumcision is not without risk, and things like this happen more often than we think. They just aren't publicized and it's all so hush hush that no one ever finds out.

highlights · February 2013

1. OP, you are a diick. Reposting a picture of a child is not okay. Nope. Never.

2. Secondly, ain't nobody got time for this. Go away.

Wait, why are you searching circumcision on FB? That's weird.

skio · February 2013

This has been reported. Posting a picture of someone else's child to express you personal opinion is way beyond inappropriate.

GraceInCA · February 2013

I'm extremely anti-circ, but posting photos of someone's baby to make a point is all kinds of inappropriate.

Lilmrslay · February 2013

I am also extremely anti-circumcision, but posting a pic of someone else's child on here to make your point is extremely tacky and insensitive.

This. Also, you are beyond creepy for searching circumcision on Facebook.

And it also has many health benefits. My nephew for example wasn't circumcised as a baby and then at 5 years old began having some really bad issues that I won't get into. Long story short, after seeing multiple specialists, they said that he HAD to be circumcised. And let me tell you, it is much more difficult for a older child to heal from a circumcision than for a baby to heal from it.

I should go get my appendix out, because my MIL's burst when she was pregnant and it's a lot more dangerous for that to happen when you are pregnant. *rolls eyes*

This. When I was teaching in South Korea, it was a semi-popular practice amongst the middle class to take their sons to get circ'd just before the lunar new year of their 11th, 12th or 13th birthday (I forget which), because they believed it would help it grow bigger during puberty. Three of my students were scheduled together by their moms, who thought it would a great "rite of passage" for them to undergo together.

They seemed in extreme pain, which was aggravated by the amount of physical activity that was still expected of them in their Korean schools.

Hahaha YES having an appendectomy is exactly the same as a circumcision. Recovery time is the same, even.

How can anyone think this is okay?
