Every time she ροsts ρhοtοgraρhs οf her childreп, she receives the same resροпse: “Sit dοwп, οпly sρecial ρeορle have sρecial childreп.”
The majority of people today use social media as their principal form of communication. It is customary to send amusing photographs of your children to family and acquaintances.
She publishes on social media, like other young mothers, but the comments on her photographs and the way her infant is treated are strikingly different. Nonetheless, she has a few remarks…
Young mother Natasha is adapting to motherhood. As do many other new mothers, she enjoys uploading photos of her one-year-old son Raedyn to the Internet. In contrast to most mothers, she encounters severe cyberbullying because of her infant.
She posts videos of herself and her daughter Raedyn on the pervasive social media platform TikTok. She receives dozens, if not hundreds, of requests to cease posting photos and videos of her child.
Natasha has a message for her detractors despite this.
“He is perfect, despite his appearance,” she explains, “even though he has a different appearance.”
She is unable to tally the number of letters and comments asking, “What is wrong with your child? Why does your infant appear this way?
Raedyn was born with Pfeiffer syndrome, which causes extremity, face, and cranium malformations. Natasha believes that her son is flawless, so she frequently posts videos of him online.
She notes, however, that most of the responses she receives are negative, such as “What kind of life will he have?” Someone asked an offensive question on TikTok, to which someone else replied, “Why would you make him live like that? What a miserable existence you are permitting him to lead!
As if online criticisms weren’t venomous enough, Natasha receives feedback from real people. She claims that strangers ask her offensive inquiries in public, such as “What’s wrong with your child?”The phrase “Then why does your child look like that?” is not an acceptable way to address a person.
Due to the inevitable onslaught of questions she will encounter, she finds it difficult to appear in public. She remarked, “It’s stressful to explain my son’s health issues over and over again.” Due to the appearance of her son, she struggles to fathom his popularity. She explains, “He lives the same life as any other child…does he appear to be different?” This does not diminish him, however.”
Include “He deserves to live and be accepted – I will fight until my last breath for this”
She dislikes other people’s concern for her, particularly when she is going about her business and is suddenly approached by someone who is “interested” and has inquiries.
She stated, “People must realize that I am just a mother, and my child is just a baby, and that our lives do not revolve around his illness.”
She dislikes other people’s concern for her, particularly when she is going about her business and is suddenly approached by someone who is “interested” and has inquiries.
“We are an average family. I hope that one day the world will stop discriminating against disabled people based on their appearance and incapacity.”
It is disheartening to see that people are still eager to criticize those who differ from them in any fashion. We can only hope that individuals become more generous and welcoming.
We extend our deepest regards to Natasha and Raedyn. Add your warmest regards to theirs.
