Do you think its disrespectful to post pictures of miscarried babies to facebook?

[Monne Louise]

I think it's rude. Everything that's happening in our world right now are being post in social networking sites. Like my sister when our grandfather died she posted the pic of my grandfather lying on her coffin I ask her to delete it just to respect the dead, People take a selfie of themselves crying showing their wrist full of cuts, I think its nonsense. And in your case I know it's sad but she should just post a status about it because like what you said it's kinda disrespectful for the baby to be seen by others.

It isn't something I would do, but it was your cousin's baby, so really it is up to her if she wants to share the photo. Now if someone else put up a picture of her baby - that would be in really bad taste!

It seems sad that you are more concerned about a picture, than about supporting your cousin through her grief.

I can see how it would make people uncomfortable to see those pictures. On the other hand, I'm sure your cousin saw the beauty in her child and doesn't consider it to be offensive. There was this story a while ago that made news when a young mom posted pictures of her child born with a deformity onto Facebook. Facebook initially took the photos down, but apologized after a public outcry. I don't think you'll ever win against a grieving mom remembering their child, even if it makes you and everyone else a little uncomfortable.

I think if someone decides to do that, they should post a warning that gives people the option to view or not to view. I don't think anyone should put a dead family members photo on FB whatsoever but if they choose to do so, do so with respect to others.

I think it's bad etiquette to post pictures of the dead on public media. However, if the pictures help ease her grief then... At this time every one should be aware of the pain she's going through and not on their own tender sensibilities.

If you don't want to see the pictures of her child, don't look at them. But please do realize that no matter if you like seeing those pictures or not: they ARE pictures of her CHILD. The only ones she will ever have to show anybody.

To her it's not about how far developed her baby was or what colour her baby's skin was, it's about that being her BABY.

Are you seriously considering telling her that her BABY is something that should be hidden away from public sight because it's unpleasant to look at and even 'disrespectful'? Way to support her in her grief.
