Every time she posts pictures of her baby online, people beg her to stop
These days social media is the main tool of communication for most people. Sharing pictures of your kids so that friends and family can look at them is a normal practice.
This young mother uses social media similarly but the comments her pictures get and how her child is treated are completely different. But she has a few things to say…
Natasha is a young mother navigating through motherhood. Like many young mothers, she likes sharing pictures of her one-year-old son Raedyn online. However, unlike most mothers, she is subjected to intense bullying online on the basis of her son’s looks.
She posts videos of her with her son Raedyn on the popular social media platform TikTok. And she gets dozens if not hundreds of comments on each post asking her to stop posting pictures or videos of her son.
But Natasha has a message for her haters, “I will not stop… just because he looks different doesn’t mean that he is any less – he is perfect,” she says.
Little Raedyn was born with Pfeiffer syndrome which causes abnormalities in the skull, face, and limbs. But for Natasha, her little boy is perfect and hence she posts videos of him every chance she gets.
But people are cruel and she recounts common comments she gets which are usually something like, “What quality of life will he have?” someone rudely asked on TikTok, while another person added: “Why would you make him live like that? Such a miserable life that you’re permitting him to live”.
