Some families DO display pictures of their deceased babies, in their homes. There is nothing wrong with that. 


 Yes, but that is their home.  That is different than school.


When the boys school aged friends visit, are they suppose to hide the pictures?

IMHO, no. 


 No, because that is their home--the school is not.  They should warn the parents, though.


Are you kidding? Why? Because it might offend precious little snowflake?

Looks like you're adding to the "hid it from the kids", "cover their eyes", "eek". So much for you telling it like it is to kids.

 Not your call to make.  Would you be ok with handing out porn?  How about another parent spanking your kids at their house?

 

You ou can tell it like it is to YOUR OWN KIDS.  You dont get to make those calls for everyone else.

Handing out porn would be illegal.  Seeing a picture of a dead baby is not.  And yes, my kids were spanked at other people's houses...

My daughter teaches first grade and it doesn't matter what you think, but this would not be allowed. The principle agreed with the teacher. It's really unfair of you to start labeling the other kids as precious little snowflakes. They didn't make that call. The adults did.

 That's your problem.  I would be livid if some other parents spanked my kids.  Wow.  Call me and I will come pick them up and discipline them myself.

You know, most people wouldn't even think about. I don't realize what pictures are hanging. I have a hallway full of pictures. If I had one of a stillborn baby, I wouldn't think about it. It's just there...

It still comes down to boundaries.

We know darn well that you wouldn't bring up your latest constipation problems or your sex life to strangers. Nor would you blab to everyone that you had a stillborn baby. Pictures are no different. You aren't handing them out like candy at Christmas to random people. Yiu aren't standing on the street corner begging every stranger that walks by to look at such a picture.

These kids aren't your family, aren't your friends, many may not even be your Childs friends.

Really?

You ARE on facebook, right?

I see pictures of dead babies on there all the time.

Ever heard of the group, "I Am A Mother To An Angel"?

Times are changing, husker. YOU may not like it, but it IS happening.

IF YOU don't want to look, scroll on by.

A family picture with their dead baby is NOT morbid, IMHO. I see nothing wrong with a respectful family picture with the dead baby, hanging over the family mantel OR used as part of a class project, that the kids were TOLD to do. 

To put this subject in the same category as constipation or sex is ludicrous.

Having a picture hanging up is not blabbing about anything...

If I have a picture in my hall and someone has a problem with it, they can leave.  I'm not going to go around taking down décor that might offend someone...

This is ridiculous. The whole "it's weird" thing is just stupid.

Yes. Husker. It's a stupid way of thinking.

You don't get to tell another mom or family or sibling how to think or feel about a dead child.

You think you know what you are talking about, you try to wrap your brain around it. Try to interject your qualms about it. But the fact is, it's not up to you or anyone else to deem it weird or make fun of others.

As for the child, that was his baby brother. Caitlyn, at three, understood there was a baby in mommy's tummy when I was carrying Jesse, and she was 4 when I was carrying Aaron. So yeah, after months of talking about the baby, feeling it move, making plans and dreaming about the baby, the baby is just as much a part of the family as any other kid.

My kids never knew their some of their grandparents, but they know they were still part of their family.

And yes. In the south, it is common, everyday practice, to take pictures of and with the dead.

I've seen it so often, I don't even think about it. You can hire a professional to come do it if you want.

So you want to call it names? Make fun of it. Compare it to porn? Well. Go ahead. It's pretty part for the course with you.

But it just makes you look like a jackass.

There was a girl that used to work here that had a picture of her stillborn baby in her office. And every year on his birthday, she writes a facebook post about it. They family also goes to the cemetery where he is buried and releases balloon on his birthday every year.

And she DOES say she has 4 children, but one of them is an angel....

We have a young family here, that does that as well.

Everyone grieves differently. What is wrong for one, is right for another. People need to quit judging what's right for someone else's grief process.

I have no problem with taking pictures of stillborn babies, or displaying them in their home or even on facebook. But that is different than bringing them into a school.

 For all the reasons i have listed earlier.  I can't and would not support that as a School Board member.  I would support the Principal and teacher in this instance.

 It really depends on the situation. 

I HAVE 3 kids. 

I have been blessed by 4.

I don't tell the random person in a waiting when we are just chatting.

But with friends I usually tell them at some point.

People I've worked with, friends, family know the truth. 

I don't think anyone walks up to a stranger at the store and spill their life story.

I see nothing wrong with taking pictures of you stillborn baby. In fact, there are photographers who specialize in that now. Pictures of those babies look no different than any other newborn photos. It's not like you can tell they aren't alive. They look like a sleeping baby.

I would have no problem with my daughter seeing that, in someone's home or at school, but I understand the school's opinion.

We used to have laws about "corruption of minors". In that we expect adults to consider the innocent sensibilities of children and do not try to unnecessarily expose young children to certain issues, themes, etc. These aren't high school kids.

The class project was for each child to bring pictures of their family and life.

For this child, it was appropriate, IMHO, since it was a very recent loss for this family.

Others, apparently, have a hard time letting 7 year olds see another family's loss within the school setting.

But, exposing 7 year olds to other cRap is okay..

 Yes, I gave several reasons.  Not agreeing with them doesn't mean I didn't give reasons.  I have talked about the sanctity of life, the treatment of human remains and the sensibilities of children.  In addition to the rights of other parents to not necessarily have their children exposed to these kinds of issues.  Not sure what else you want.  If you don't agree, then you don't agree and that's fine.  But, i have given plenty of reasons.

Really? (note sarcasm)

I am offended by several things my grand's are "exposed too" in school. Doesn't mean a darn thing anymore.

Sorry but one kid doesnt' get to trump all the other in the class. Some of you have said as much regarding transgender laws. The sensibilities of the other children should be a consideration as well. Sorry, there is no overwhelming need for this kid to show these pics to the entire class.

Sorry, but flan has posted in a long time on this thread. I am the one seeing the pictures and that's because I belong to the group IAAMTAA. No search needed for me.

I don't know what that group is. But yes, there are certain groups where you may find that. But, I think msrock and I are making a point that it just doesn't pop up for those not searching anything related.

Again, i have no problem whatsoever with bereaved parents taking photos. If that helps them grieve and remember, then they should. But, that is a private moment. I just don't think it is appropriate at the elementary level. That's my opinion. But, that in no way means that i don't think that was an important moment in their lives or that the boy should forget his sibling. Not at all.

 I haven't seen dozens, but quite a few. No searching here. I don't even know where they come from. I think it's posts that my friends have liked or commented on and then show up in my newsfeed.

I have no problem with taking pictures of stillborn babies, or displaying them in their home or even on facebook. But that is different than bringing them into a school.


Why is it wrong? 


 I don't think it is wrong, per se, but I would not be pleased if my kid came home and said they had seen a picture of a dead baby either. 

This is a case where I think both parties were out of line. Parents should not have let him send the picture, teacher should have handled this more sensitively

Sorry but one kid doesnt' get to trump all the other in the class. Some of you have said as much regarding transgender laws. The sensibilities of the other children should be a consideration as well. Sorry, there is no overwhelming need for this kid to show these pics to the entire class.


We are already having kids being trampled with the needs of one transgender in school. So, yeah, it is happening.

She may well see the pictures on Pinterest. There are photographers who market their work for bereaved families. Hospitals have photographers hired for this need.

Yep.  They are called demise portraits.  The hospital usually foots the bill for the session and the prints...

I guess none of you ever have the news on when your kids are in the room.

Never watch a movie or tv show above a G rating when the kids are in the room.

You can't completely shield kids from death.

I don't understand how one is not a big deal but the other is completely wrong.

That's different.  It's pretend.

Even when they show dead bodies on the news, they give a warning that content may be disturbing to some viewers.

Viewers who are adults.

People have the choice to watch or nor. These little kids didn't have a choice. They had a picture of a dead body forced on them, and it's wrong.

Yes I can see how much less disturbing the walking dead zombies are compared to a  dead baby that looks like it's sleeping.
