To ask why people post pictures of their poorly children on social media?

[JokersRus]

Why?? Especially the children who end up in ambulances and/or hooked up to wires etc. I just don't understand it. I can understand maybe a picture to keep privately but why does it have to be plastered all over SM??

I don't like seeing kids in pain or suffering, especially when I've watched mine go through some awful things and the last thing I want to do, is post their distress over the net for likes and comments. It always seems to be the people that document every part of their life. Why????

Should add most of them time in isolation so not all the important people are there and it’s nice for family to be able to see her achievements like learning a Moana dance from her cubicle

A friend has recently done this. I was a bit taken aback - it was her daughter in a hospital bed looking very ill, tired, unkempt and distressed. It upset me. & I felt it should've been a private moment. Children deserve dignity too. But you can't say anything, can you?

It's sad how so many things have to be a 'prayers hun' photo opportunity.

I posted a picture of my daughter when when she was in hospital with meningitis with the caption “This is what happens to babies when you don’t vaccinate your fucking kids.”

Opened a discussion and thankfully frightened one mum I knew Inti vaccinating her kids because she wasn’t going to until she saw the picture.
