Someone on my friends list commented on a post by a woman who put a picture of her stillborn baby on Facebook on a group called Capture Your Grief - 2013, and consequently the photo appeared on my feed this morning. I had a look at the group and it's filled with people posting photos of dead fetuses and babies dressed in clothes. It's like something from Brass Eye. Is there nothing people won't post on Facebook?
OMG .. speechless

On another note that riddle makes no sense at all. I read the answer is your eye's or the door.

1. How can it be 2 answers?

2. Neither of them can be the answer as you know it's your parents from the start

I had the same and was just coming on here to rant about it.

Managed to block mainly all the Bitstrips, what really irritated me with those is that the avatars were always much better looking and slimmer than those posting them

I know. It's as if they are proud of the sickness or something. Talk about attention seeking.

My cousin posted pictures of her daughter's acne captioned something like "to embarrass her when she is older". She's a young girl embarrassed about it NOW .

This appeared on my newsfeed today, I'm all for people doing whatever helps them with their grief and maybe it's just me but heaven forebid if I had to endure such heartbreak I would do it behind closed doors with those closest to me, not for all the world to see.

My cousin has shared a post from a group identifying alleged paedophiles in the local area. All the comments are stuff like 'SICK B*****D!!', which is all very well if they are sex offenders. However, I can't help thinking that it's very easy to get hold of someone's identity and photo and falsely 'out' them as a sex offender, potentially causing vigilante attacks.
It is sites like and their sometimes false allegations that directly led to the death of an innocent man and this weeks court case.

What did these people do to show off and grab attention before they joined a social network site? Did they run into the street with their pumpkins/ill children/dinner and knock on people's doors?

I do see that plonking the pictures on random facebook accounts is not the way to go; the pictures are bound to infuriate or disgust some people, and might be very upsetting to some. But I think the group itself is moving, having looked at it. (https://www.facebook.com/events/735339813149251/ for anyone who actually wants to see these pictures). These women - some articulate, some barely able to write a coherent sentence - want to show people the child they loved. For some people it just makes it harder to have a stillbirth that almost no one has any particular feeling for the child. They did not have time to win any friends or show any personality, so to the world it is as if nothing in particular has been lost. I think there is something rather heart-breaking about all those lovingly hand knitted baby clothes, little hats etc. If the group had been kept private I would say absolutely that they are doing a positive thing.

I'm not being heartless, but a family member lost her baby at five months pregnant 6 months ago. Now every comment roughly 6 times a day consists of poems about missing my baby boy! Even pictures of the dead baby's legs. Now personally some things should be personal. Half of me knows she's in pain but the other half thinks it's def sympathy and attention.

I didn't appreciate having their grief waved in my face like that. It's not that I'm offended or upset or affected by the images, because I'm not. What annoyed me the most was that the woman who posted the image that appeared on my feed told people not to say anything negative or critical. I don't feel it was her place to put her dead baby on public display and tell people that they can't say what they think about that. The group should have been private.

Someone on facebook and twitter who is due to give birth in about 8 weeks constantly clogging up the feeds with drivel about how she dont want to give birth at the local hospital. She claims someone she knows nearly died there so she dont want to have her baby there.

The annoying thing is this is a planned baby so youd have thought she would have opted for one of the two other hospitals in her catchment area. But nope this one was good enough for all the scans etc. surely the birth is the most important thing so you would plan that from the start.

Someone asked her if she would consider private treatment since shes stressing which is bad for the baby and she verbally assaulted them with every insult under the sun. She cant afford private etc yet last year she spent over £10k on an extravagent wedding. So she must have prioritised that as being a better investment.

Shes absolutely horrible. Before she was pregnant she was stereotypical chav verbally abusing people online but darent say anything in person. Now shes pregnant she seems invincible. Every day she starts a new argument, mostly with people she doesnt know. Then throws out comments about of she has another miscarriage she will blame the people on twitter etc.

I agree, that group should be private. I personally find some of those pictures disturbing. I don't blame these people for wanting to mourn and use the page as way to find some comfort with others that have gone through similar situations, but I just can't see how appropriate it is to be posting pictures of their dead children.

I had a look at that page as some people on my newsfeed were arguing about it and it is disturbing.

Imo when the foetus/baby has left the womb it should have a right to privacy. I dont find it nice that people photograph the dead babies and then share them for everyone to see.

To a degree the baby ones arent as bad, tbh most look like sleeping babies. Its the foetuses that are disturbing. I cant comprehend why anyone would want a picture of a dead foetus. Ok they are grieving but having a picture like that surely makes the healing process harder.

Had the first 'ZOMG! CHRISTMAS HAS BEEN BANNED COZ IT OFFENDS MUSLIMS!!!' status of the year on my newsfeed today. I think it's actually beaten DS to that title, which is quite impressive really.

They only posted a picture of the headline, but it looks like it came from that infamously bollocks 'Winterval' story that's been doing the rounds for years. But I suppose, in their eyes, nothing sums up Christmas better than using a made-up tabloid story to have yet another pop at the Muslims. Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men, eh?

they say they find it comforting, and who are we to argue? Again, I think it should have been kept as a private group. Even so, it's a shame that some people have been so abusive to them; surely they can see that they are hurling insults at people who have been in a horrible amount of pain.

I agree with you about the private group thing. I think a lot of the abuse has come from people who dont want to see those images but have no choice when they appear on their news feed. Not that that excuses them of course but i could see how it would be distressing.

Yes I agree it should be kept as private or on a special dedicated website. A family member keeps putting pictures up of her dead 5 month foetus. I find it quite upsetting looking at this as some other friends do too. Iv miscarried in the past ,three times and kept things private. Wouldn't dream of saying anything to her though. But I know she's grieving but enough is enough!!

I'd agree. It's more suitable for a private group and there are quite a few of them on FB already, I'm a member of a couple of them, so none of the posts we make turn up on anyone who isn't a member's feed.

I will say I have a picture of my holding my stillborn on fb, its heavily edited though so unless you look properly it just looks like a sketch of me. I wouldn't post any others up as they are quite distressing to others, but I guess I just needed one photo to show off my baby like any other proud mother

And you should do Noo. I wish there wasn't such a stigma attached to still birth in this country. Sending you lots of love.
