Yes, I do think it’s a bit of overkill. I have two convicted paedophiles in my family. Do I have anything to do with them now? No, absolutely not. We are NC, We don’t ever go anywhere they are also invited (means we miss out on a lot of big family events, because they will be invited now and we won’t).
But do I still have them hanging in the wall in my wedding photos? Yes. I mean, it’s a lovely group photo of all of our guests and a memory of a happy day. I had no idea at the time. I mean I guess I could have them edited out, but it’s an actual printed photo. No idea of I even have a digital version.
I enjoy the photo because of what it is. A memory of a great day. My stance on them is evident in my actions. We are NC. We have been outspoken in not keeping it a secret while others tried to sweep it under the rug. We’ve made sure any family with children also know and can make that decision for themselves (none of them seem to care about their contact with their children, but anyway). I’m not worked up about a picture, the proof is in my actions.
I think removing all the content is a bit of silly PR overkill. The proof really should be in exposing him for what he is and making sure he doesn’t get an easy ride simply because of his celebrity status.
