to not want to see graphic pictures of Baby P when I log on to Facebook?

[TinkerBellesMum]

I've deliberately tried to avoid the subject, I've not read links, avoided discussions etc, I've stopped watching the news because there's so much happening to the children at the moment. Not because I'm heartless but because I've lost a baby and my heart breaks for these babies who died needlessly at the hands of someone else.

I set my FB status saying I'm fed up of hearing about it and someone just sent me a message saying:

i have just been told about the statment u have wrote on your status. i am sickened. heartless is the first word that comes to mind

I'm not heartless, I just have too much heart! Why do I have to have it shoved in my face?

you aren't heartless

i really can't bear it all

aw

I'm sorry TBM

you are not heartless at all, your friend is quite horrid

Just done a search:

Displaying 1 - 10 out of over 500 group results for: "baby p"

It's not even someone on my list, I think she's in a group I'm in and has been told by someone else.

i would remove your friend as well

oh fgs @ your 'friend' who saw fit to tell you that...

i deleted my superwall off face book after getting loads of graphic messages about the james bulger case

i find it really uncomfortable that people are using Baby P to make others feel unworthy or mean spirited if they are not appopriating the grief that is not really theirs and are not weeping and wailing every second

i am as saddened and horrified as every sentient person on the planet, but i do not have to demonstrate taht grief or horror interminably over the internet

ladies, there is a single thread for all baby P postings

btw, I agree wholeheartedly

at the "friend" who sent you this, she would not be anything to me after that ever again.

This isn't a "Baby P" thread, I don't want to discuss the issue and WILL NOT open that thread! Isn't that the whole point of my OP?

with respect TBM, this is a baby P thread

lulumama, I agree with you. It's ridiculous that people feel the need to express it like that, it's sack cloth and ashes, there for an audience. Why do people need to make 500+ groups about it? I mean, it's one thing if you're personally involved a group for friends and family I can understand. Going on a forum to talk about your lost loved one (I did!)

No, it's not, it's about the fact that I don't want to read about babies dying all the time and I've asked if IBU to think that message was inappropriate or if I'm heartless. I don't want to discuss or read what that poor child went through and I'm not going to defeat the object by asking on a thread for it. It's about all the groups like it, there's Jamie Bulger ones I am subjected to when I log on to Facebook too. Then there's the DBJ ones and a lot more besides. I'm not posting about "Baby P" I'm posting about being subjected to it all.

You deliberately avoided the subject, not read links, avoided discussions, but thought it appropriate for yourself to create a thread

One rule for some and not others it seems..

Aw aint you bovvered about the ickle baybee? You is totally out of order. If you reeely cared you wud want to torture people to show how soft and loveley you are.

I'm with you on this one. I know it happened, I know it's awful and now I don't want it my brain anymore. I do think that that lots are people are being rather self indulgent in thier disgust.

Not shocked by anything on Facebook, IMHO you leave yourself open to a whole host of crap and immature comment from youngsters that use it. It is for teenagers, isn't it?

My last post on this subject ever.

I believe there is a hell of lot of people on this board who are using the death of Baby Pete in order to have a good slanging match.(Basically itching for a fight).

Out of respect for this child I will never discuss this subject again on MN. I suggest you do the same if you mean what you say Tinkerbelle.

I agree with Lulumamma.

I was posting about the PM I got, not about the poor baby!

LOL mabanana thanks for making me feel a bit better about it. That message really upset me and you just made me smile.

Really, my AIBU was about being sent a nasty email, I've not said people shouldn't post just that I don't want to talk or read about it.

Glad to hear it! Take no notice. Lot of nutters out there at the moment. You are normal!

I sympathise TBM, I really do

but your thread title makes it another baby P thread, whether you meant it that way or not

ignore Mabanana, I think a 12 yr old has taken over her pc

I rephrased my title a couple of times, I took out something about it not being about Baby P because I couldn't make it not sound stupid.

I had an apology from her when I replied (I basically said what I said in my OP) and the person who told her apologised too after I commented on my status explaining my feelings, she said she only mentioned it because she didn't know how I meant it - I've pointed out I'm the one that knows what I'm talking about!

I noticed so many off my friends on facebook had pictures of baby p on their profiles and had joined baby p linked groups.

I just find it all so tasteless and unnecessary, have avoided posting about it on here.
