Photo of kid pretending to nurse sister gets mom banned by Facebook

7/28/2012

Lauren Ferrari, a mom in Seattle, is peeved that Facebook temporarily banned her from the site. Her offense? A photo she uploaded of her five-year-old daughter pretending to breast-feed her two-year-old sister. The social media site took down the image and told Ferrari she was suspended from the site for a week for violating its community standards policies. Ferrari claims the photo was “not sexual” or child pornography. An officer with the Seattle Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit said the photo was not pornographic, but was “poor parenting,” because there is no way for Ferrari to control who sees or obtains the photo.
