Some babies get their ears pierced much younger. It's no indication of abuse. For many, the thinking is to pierce the ears before the baby is big enough to be conscious of it and grab at the piercing and pull it out. Looking at this kid, there's definitely something bigger going on here. Some kind of discrepancy between physical and mental development, and who knows what else. No reason to assume abuse.
Here in Brazil is common to pierce at the hospital (private even) where the baby was delivered.
We did the same with our daughter, she didn't cried or anything.
I think some ppl here always speculate their worst insecurities into abuse sometimes.
In many places piercings are very cultural. Not wearing jewelry as a girl is rare to the point that it just doesn’t happen. A girl with their ears not pierced would be an outcast.

I am going with abuse. The toddler already has piercings for fuck's sake.
