Being a father is a true blessing. Watching a child grow, develop, learn and explore this life is truly gratifying and the joy it brings is immeasurable. All parents have their own way of raising their children, teaching them things and making them understand important aspects of life. They can use the lessons learned from their parents to advance in life, make good choices and make the right choices that will set them on the best path. A mother received a very harsh sentence for a photo posted on her social media page in which she wanted to send a message with her little girl.

The way a woman carries the message is, in our opinion, wrong. You don’t have to use your child to send a message, but they consider themselves their child, so it’s theirs. Their reason lies in their total rejection of circumcision, a practice very common today. Threatened by several netizens, she received messages that CPS was being denounced for the treatment she was giving her child. Her response to all the threats was posted on her Facebook page and looks like this:

“So it appears that yesterday the focus was on how insanse it would be if a parent were to modify & alter their child by forcing them to undergo a facial piercing. People were outraged & rightfully so. Then the photo became the focus, was it real, or was it photoshopped? Then, as the post was shared, people began to realize it was about children’s right to physical integrity.”

Enedina Vance continued, now speaking about the comments she received, considering that this post was shared more than 20,000 times, with opinions and harsh insults from all parts of the world:

“Altering a child’s body simply for aesthetic reasons is wrong, as all the angry posts, comments, & hate mail explained. “You don’t own your child!” “Your baby isn’t a doll you can customize!” “How could you do that to your child?!!” Stabbing holes in your child is abuse & you don’t deserve to be a parent!”. Well said, I couldn’t agree more, so why are ear piercings & genital cutting so popular? Oh, that’s not the same. Why?”

After all these questions and affirmations about how bad she is with her child, she continues by answering to her own question:

“Today I’m being accused of “parent shaming.” Honestly, my post was meant to shock parents into seeing their children as human beings & to respect them as such. Every angry person who shared my post did so in an attempt to shine a light on an injustice. How my poor baby had suffered such a violation that she actually required being rescued. Yet, that anger, that outrage, that need for justice disappeared the moment they realized everything they had said, about what I “did” to my baby, actually described what they had done to their own child. Of course, that didn’t sit well with some.”

She is somehow right in her vision, but we cannot stand and agree with “my child, my property” affirmation. The entire post is available in a photo attached to this article. Share this with your friends and family!
