Mother's fury after Facebook removes pictures of baby son who lived for just eight hours after being born with rare birth defect | Mail Online

A furious mother is demanding answers from Facebook as to why they took down photographs she posted on the site of her son, who was born with a rare birth defect, and then later banned her from the site altogether.

Faith: Heather and Patrick knew at 16 weeks their son would not live long but they decided to have him anyway so they and their other two children could share some precious moments with him

'They of course gave us the option to terminate,' said Heather. But they chose to carry their baby full term and turned to God for strength.

'My husband and I, we started prayer and we knew that God knew since the beginning of time that he had us for this,' she said.


The couple were fully prepared to have to say goodbye to him on the same day they welcomed him into the world.

So, with the help of non-profit organization Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, they had a professional photographer to take photos of their newborn, just the same way as they did with their other two children and what most parents around the world do.

He only lived for eight hours but the Walkers wanted to capture his short life so his memory could live on forever.

Heather explained to Fox News that she uploaded the pictures on to her Facebook page so she could share them with family and friends.

WHAT IS ANENCEPHALY?

Anencephaly is a disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the head end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp.

The remaining brain tissue is often exposed — not covered by bone or skin.

:merchant:

Most babies with this genetic disorder do not survive birth, however there have been notable exceptions.

In most of the pictures, baby Grayson is wearing a hat. But in some, he was not.

Heather explained: 'Not long after, Facebook deleted them because of the content. They allow people to post almost nude pictures of themselves, profanity, and so many other things but I'm not allowed to share a picture of God's beautiful creation.'

According to Facebook's community standards page, there are nine types of content that may be deemed offensive and removed: Violence and Threats, Self-Harm, Bullying and Harassment, Hate Speech, Graphic Violence, Nudity and Pornography, Identity and Privacy, Intellectual Property and Phishing and Spam

Heather said she has no idea which category her child's picture falls under but has now launched a protest - posting the picture several times and getting her friends and family to contact Facebook.

The networking site responded by banning Heather Walker from Facebook.

Patrick Walker said of his son: 'You know, my son lived almost eight hours, and he's already done in eight hours what I could never do in a hundred lifetimes, and that's awesome.'
:dwillhuh:

Facebook have yet to respond to requests for comment.

So when people spam post pics of disabled kids just so they can get "likes" it's not an issue but when people take a pic of their own baby it's an issue?

It's just not fair that people can post up some bullshyt pictures but some lady wants to post a picture of their son and now it's a problem.

fukk Facebook. I hope they get sued and have to shut down the site. I know they have the right to do whatever they want but still. It's just a baby after all.

So now don't post any pictures of retards cause they aren't pretty enough for facebook.

You a med student or something?

Besides that, Facebook is wrong for doing this, and the fact that pictures are the property of Facebook when they go on the site is fundamentally ridiculous, no matter what the law or ToS is.
