Woman receives death threats after piercing baby's cheek
A mother in the US gave her 6-month-old a fake piercing to make a point on social media.
Enedina Vance posted a picture of her 6-month-old sporting a diamond cheek piercing to Facebook, and everyone was up in arms.
Enedina posted a caption justifying her actions, saying that since she was the baby's mother, she had the right to make the decision to get a piercing.
People immediately began commenting about what a bad mother she was, with one person telling her to go and get hit by a car, and another threatening to call the authorities and have the child taken away from her.
No one could understand the mother's choice to give such a small baby the unconventional piercing.
A few days later, Enedina posted a status explaining that the picture had been created entirely in Photoshop. She says she did it to make a statement about circumcision: "How is it so triggering, so enraging to see my baby with a pierced dimple, but actually knowing a baby is being strapped down & forcibly having his most sensitive portion of his penis amputated, seems perfectly ok?"
A large number of people missed the point of her post entirely, while a few saw her efforts to speak out against the circumcision of babies and applauded her for it.
