Most people use social media as their primary form of communication these days. It’s customary to send images of your children to friends and family so they can enjoy them.
Like other young mothers, she posts on social media, but the comments on her images and how her child is handled are radically different. But she has some remarks to make…
Young mother Natasha is adjusting to parenting. She enjoys posting images of her one-year-old son Raedyn online, as many other new mothers do. But unlike most mothers, she experiences severe internet bullying because of how her son looks.
She uploads videos of herself and Raedyn to the well-known social media site TikTok. And she frequently receives requests to cease publishing images or videos of her son in the comments section of each post, if not hundreds of them.
But Natasha warns her detractors: “I won’t quit… He is perfect, and just because he looks different doesn’t make him any less so,” she asserts.
She receives many emails and comments with the subject line, “What’s wrong with your child? Why does your child have that appearance?”
