She, like many other young mothers, uses social media to share photos of her child, but she notices a striking difference in the responses to her posts and the way her child is treated. However, she does have a few comments… Natasha, a new mother, is getting used to her new role. She’s just like every other new mom out there: she can’t resist sharing adorable photos of her baby son Raedyn on social media. However, unlike most mothers, she had to deal with severe cyberbullying because of her son’s appearance. She and Raedyn’s online antics are documented in videos shared on the popular app TikTok. She also gets hundreds, if not thousands, of comments a day asking her to stop sharing her son’s photos and videos.
But Natasha wants her detractors to know that she will not give up. She insists that despite his unconventional appearance, he is in fact flawless. How many times has someone asked her, “What is wrong with your child?” in an online comment or message? “Why does your kid have to be so ugly?”
Young Raedyn was born with Pfeiffer syndrome, which causes skeletal, facial, and craniofacial malformations. Natasha, on the other hand, is convinced that her son has no flaws, so she posts videos of him online whenever she can.
People are cruel, therefore she recounts some of the most common comments she hears, such as “What quality of life will he have?” I mean, why would you subject him to that? You’re letting him have such a miserable life as it is.
