    Yet it's perfectly fine to have pictures of people throwing their guts up drunk and flashing their bits and pieces!

    That little girl looks really sweet feeding her doll.

    FB certainly needs to learn to differentiate between acceptable & non- acceptable social behaviour, but part of me can't really understand why a parent would post a picture of their child pretending to breastfeed in the first place?!

    It was posted in a closed group for breast feeding mothers, she thought it was sweet I imagine and wanted to share it with other mums

    MLGC: Why do people post pictures of themselves posing all over it, or pictures of their children doing anything?

    It's not as if the little girl is bare or anything, she could just as easily be holding the doll with her top down. Glad they have reinstated it.

    If I were to take anything that children do seriously, i'd firstly be concerned about the crashing of cars together or the slamming of dolls/action figures together in an effort to simulate fighting and so on, but considering how many flagged photos facebook hosts and has to get through, its not hard to see how it could happen
