A Facebook picture of a woman, apparently, pointing a gun at a toddler’s head has gone viral, sparking questions and outrage.
Is this real? Who is the woman? Is the child safe?
The picture was first sent to an anti-domestic violence blog, No Longer Victims. According to them, “I was sent this picture today by a friend who was very distressed to see it on her page. It apparently was posted to see if anybody could find the girl and if they cared well we do care and we have to find this baby as this scares the hell out of me.”
According to the Daily Star the photo first appeared on an Argentinian Facebook page about a month ago – and has since disappeared.
Internet myth de-bunkers say it could easily be photo-shopped as a prank. Regardless, this is disturbing and a cry for help for this child. The fact the person would even think to photo-shop an image putting a child’s life in danger is disgusting and concerning.
And this hasn’t been the first time; guns have been pointed at children in what are supposed to be “funny” pics. This image made the rounds last year on social media.
If anything, I hope this is a sick joke and prank. I’m glad it’s sparking outrage and creating buzz about child abuse and that this is not okay. I hope this baby is found, before it’s too late.
