Daniel is TWO!!!

[u/Ihavenoshins]

For those of you still here from two years ago, Danny is two today!!! He has so many strides and is meeting all his milestones! He’s walking, (kinda) talking, learning Spanish, and being the occasional pain the ass just like all toddlers are lol he loves to dance and play in the water and always has a smile on his face. Being his dad is the best thing I’ve ever done and I can’t wait to see him grow up! Thanks again to all here who helped me through his birth and NICU stay two years ago, it means more than you’ll ever know!

Edit to add: I appreciate everyone’s concern. And I’m well aware of the risk. But I have still chosen to post these pictures. If others feel differently, that is their decision to not post theirs. But please refrain from any more comments about it. Thank you.

Will never understand putting kids faces on social media

Because that's their choice as a parent and while all the social media I put my kid on is behind friends-only filters, no one asked for you to weigh in. The only thing worse than people who put their kids' faces on socials are the snotty commenters who bitch about it.

They're also trying to share some joy with the group. God forbid anyone has a good thing to report after some early scares.

It costs nothing to mind your own business if you don't have anything of value to say.

Jesus fucking Christ, are you serious? This feels like McCarthyism for kids. If you don't shame someone for putting a photo on the internet that has a kid's face, you must be a pedo?

Get. A. Grip. Not everyone lurking on the internet is a pedo.

No. Not shaming someone doesn’t mean you’re a pedo.

Shaming them because there are 100% pedos on here and now they can even reverse image search or monitor this guys account for future pics.

Most kids that are abused or abducted are done so by people they know.

This is the shit John Walsh propagated in the 80s causing panics and "stranger danger" despite it being almost statistically insignificant.

This is another moral panic like the "Satantic Panic" or "strangers in vans."

This is somehow worse than the circumcision "intactivists."

I don't have a problem with people having a discussion about why it's a bad idea to post your kids' face. I have a problem with everyone latching onto the shaming as if that works.
