I want to vent a little bit about some things that I've seen over the past few days.
First off, a few days ago, a friend of mine that I met on my pregnancy loss facebook page, sent me an inbox message that had a link to a disturbing page. She asked me to report this page, so I clicked on the link and what I seen was truly disturbing! The page was called "Funny stuff about Dead babies". And on this page this person was stealing peoples photos of their angel babies and putting obscene things on the photos. For example, on one, he drew a penis going into the babys mouth. Now, this is horrible on so many levels but it still doesn't shock me as I've seen it too many times! Losers that want attention go to great lengths to get it. But I'm here to tell these losers, there's better ways to get attention! No, what was shocking was when I reported it to facebook, they sent back an Email saying they investigated the page and come to the conclusion that no rules or terms were violated by this page!
This makes me absolutely LIVID!! REALLY, FACEBOOK?! It doesn't violate anything? Well, how about the parents of these beautiful babies? How about the privacy he's violated by stealing other users photos? What about these precious babies he's violating by drawing penises on their faces?! It's ok to do this to an angel babys photo but yet I've heard of mothers who've been asked to take down breastfeeding photos by facebook. And if they weren't removed, facebook removed them! Also, I know a few angel mothers whose photos of their angels were removed by facebook for "offending" other users! This is just appalling to me! You have a choice to make with every click on the internet. If these pictures bother you, the answer is very simple: DON'T LOOK AT THEM! But don't report a photo of our angels as "offensive"! Let us have our memories in peace! To us, our angels are treated as if they were still living! We celebrate them and show them off because we are proud to be their parents! Don't rob us, in very unjustly ways, of the innocence that is our babies! We have enough grief and heartache without adding to it! Leave us be! We show these photos off because it's all we have left of our angels! And we shouldn't have to remove them or worry about some low life, pathetic asshole stealing them and violating them! GET A FREAKING LIFE, ALREADY! There are thousands upon thousands of facebook pages dedicate only to drama, go to one of those and stay off of our support pages!
Which leads me to the second thing that's bothering me: rude comments by complete strangers. I've heard things like "I don't understand why you talk about a baby that's dead" Here's the thing: it's not for you to understand! If you're not in the baby loss club then you'll never understand the yearn that we have as angel parents to have back the baby we never got to bring home! All the shattered, broken dreams that died when our babies died! A piece of out heart died with our angels! How dare anyone get offended over us talking about our angels!
Which raises the age old saying: some things are better left UNSAID!
Now, "be gone! Before someone drops a house on you!!"
