In thinking this Facebook marketplace seller is beyond thick??

There are two photos from a local Facebook marketplace seller with her child (face blurred out but clearly 5-7 years old ish) holding the items for sale. The girl is in a top and her pants only. It's revealing.

Why would you post a photo of your child wearing this on the internet??

I have reported both photos but had to select illegal pornography and I'm not sure if a person or computer reviews reports.

The two photos have 10x the views of other posts of the same products / anything else put up in the same period.

Some people have zero sense.

What an odd thing for them to do. Why would the child even need to be holding them?!

What’s the item?!

funuffle · 27/01/2018 18:19

They are both 'metal wall art'

Ive seen people on plenty of fish dating website (women) saying - for example " Im a single mum to 3, I love my kids, I have 3 girls, age 3, 5 & 7, I like going out etc etc.

I have never understood why they would advertise the fact?

My friend had a profile on there & we were having a nose around. There were also people on there that we knew were not single!

Yep, stupid! It actually amazes me. Especially the online dating ones. I’d never tell someone I had kids online. (Not that I date)

You reported a picture of a covered up child with blurred out face as illegal pornography?

And you think its her that is beyond thick?

funuffle · 27/01/2018 19:18

A young child in her underwear on a public site with clear details available online as to her parents name and where she lives ... he of course I reported it task

Run along

I would comment and ask them to take it down. It is not decent anybody could save the pictures

Soubriquet · 27/01/2018 19:20

That is bizarre....
Why would they do that?

Why is the first response always to smugly report then seek affirmation for actions?

Message the woman with your concerns and tell her that you think her photo is inappropriate and why.

Why would you actually attempt to get her FB account shut down?

funuffle · 27/01/2018 19:38

I haven't tried to get her fb shut down! Only the photos removed!

I haven't seen it, you have, but if you suspect this might be deliberate I would think about reporting it to CEOPS

balsamicbarbara · 27/01/2018 20:01

There are tons of normal pictures of kids in pants and vest on Facebook. Reporting it as illegal pornography is absolutely ridiculous. You know what means in this country? Stuff like people having sex with animals and touching kids! I hope FB see sense TBH.

Confused so basically the same amount of flesh a child would show at a swimming pool or the beach. Pedophiles will be looking at far worse. I think it was silly to report it. I have a fb friend who posted a photo of her kid butt naked in the bath.. That got reported.

funuffle · 27/01/2018 20:09

The photos seemed very 'off'. Yes showing the same flesh as at a swimming pool, but not in a swimming, the context didn't really call for kids in their pants.

Anyway Facebook seems to have agreed as they've been taken down

I can’t see the harm in a child wearing underpants and a top. Even better that her face was blurred out. Think you’ve gone way ott defo not pornography or my summer holiday photos would get me arrested

Sashkin · 27/01/2018 20:10

But presumably the child in the bath didn’t have an address and invitation to pop round to buy wall art?

funuffle · 27/01/2018 20:13

Thank you Sashkin!

Why the fudge would you post a picture of a child in underwear on Facebook at all, let alone on a selling page? You’re not wrong to have reported it OP.
