aibu to think this is one of the most unnecessary fb photos ever?

5yr old boy with fringe pulled back to show fairly minor graze to head, obviously JUST happened as has tears down face/in eyes and facial expression crying. Holding drink of water and a tissue.

FFS if you MUST photograph it at least bloody wait until he has stopped crying and comfort him instead of taking photos and posting "my poor baby :( xxx"

we now have an updated pic with him lying on sofa looking sad.

I took a pic of my daughter when she cut her leg open last week.

After she arrived in A&E that is and we had been waiting for over two hours. The nurse asked if I had a picture and I said I hadn't and my dd asked me to take one to show her nanny. I wouldn't have taken one while it was happening as it didn't cross my mind until the nurse asked.

I took one the following morning after it was butterflyed to show a nurse friend that I was worried about how it was closed up and that did go on FB as well because a few people asked about it.

I would never take a photo and post it on Facebook while my child was still crying or post on the way to A&E. I also don't post pictures of my children looking sad because they are ill.

I've seen facebook updates from ambulances. I am no longer FB contacts with these strange specimens.

It seems intrusive to post up a photo of a distressed child, whether that be because of a tantrum or injury. I wonder how an adult would like it if their partner posted a photo up of them when they were upset? I also wonder what children will think when they are adults about their parents constantly posting up photos of them and baring all about them on social media

Attention by proxy.
