Sorry, I think I lost it a bit earlier, I was so shocked.
I don't find the pictures WORSE than the children fighting story, but definitely on a par with.

Abuse is abuse- and the child in the microwave was definitely upset.

How can people do that to a child?
Still

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 26/04/2007 12:24

The staged ones are bad taste. The group of kids flipping the bird is shameful.

IMO not abusive though.

Hills, I can understand how you feel though, knowing about your diary entries.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2007 12:19

the photos may be distasteful but they are simply not in the same league.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2007 12:19

I'm sorry but if you seriously think these photos are in the same league as the fighting children and similar real child abuse, you really need to get some perspective. Go and look at the NSPCC website. These photos come nowhere near.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 12:15

well maybe not in your opinion but it is in mine.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2007 12:13

"this should not be deemed less of an evil" Of course it should!! Those fighting children were encouraged to physically attack each other. IIRC the older child was encouraged to punch her brother?

This isn't abuse, not by a long way.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 12:10

But its still bad in its own right, I know the toddler fight was bad but this should not be deemed less of an evil.

no i do agree they are nothing compared to the toddlers fighting, now that is severly depressing.

It wasn't A mother it was a number of mothers. These photos have been around for ages - I'd go as far as to say years.

I was sent the duct tape one around the time I first had my dd - and she's 2 now! (with the caption 'one way to keep her quiet').

They are just photos - these kids weren't really eaten, microwaved, drunk, allowed to spark up etc........

I am far more sicked by the fact that someone thinks these photos are worse than the 'dog fighting' children - THOSE kids really were hurt and may well be scarred for life.........

Hillls · 26/04/2007 11:54

Its still abuse but in a different form.

BTW i'm not saying you treat your children as toys I'm just taling about the person who posted these photos.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 11:45

Well thats up to you but I personally think these photos are sick like many others have said. These babies were put in this situation, they are not toys.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2007 11:42

I have a photo of DS1 stuck in a catflap, of DS2 apparently drinking a pint of beer at a wedding (of course he didn't), Hub2Dee has a series of photos of his DD in a shoebox, I have a photo of a pile of boxes all labelled ready for our move, one of which is labelled "DS2 - SHED" (of course he wasn't in the box,nor does he live in the shed)... I@m sure there are more.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 11:37

They are sick, How can someone do that to their child its beyond belief.

The OP put them on a picture trail to show us and she deleted them. MN have no control over Picturetrail!

TheWoman · 26/04/2007 11:35

I agree with Soupy.

SoupDragon · 26/04/2007 11:35

Oh FGS this is nowhere near as bad as the fighting children case!! I would bet my precious firstborn child on the fact that none of the children in those photos were hurt.

Hillls · 26/04/2007 11:33

I think MNHQ has deleated them
