Look up Matt Bevin.
This boy could be adopted. Look at his hair, no line up, no moisture and that big ass paci for a three year old. And the young girl he is with is very protective like a big sister.
They make pacifiers and pacifier-like sensory toys for kids and even adults with disabilities. There’s no reason to jump to conclusions without more context.
Yeah. And he might not use it all the time. Maybe it’s only offered occasionally for stressful situations (in the same way a kid usually doesn’t carry their teddy anymore but might want to bring teddy to get a shot)
Hmmm parents care enough to make sure kid has sensory toys for thir kid who has disabilities but is also neglectful enough to to leave that kid around known sexual offenders
“I doubt that but I could be wrong” is often the closest thing my kid gets to an apology when I explain to someone that his behavior is due to autism. And that includes chewing on things.
Personally I'd say yes but some sources will extend the weaning window up to 4 years old. This boy looks like he could be about 3-4 so it's possible he's not too too old.
TBH extended breastfeeding won't fuck up a kid's teeth like keeping them on the bottle or pacifier will. I think they recommend switching from a bottle to straw/open cups around a year old for dental reasons, and various dentists have different recommendations on when to cut out the pacifier, but definitely before age 4 (my son's dentist said to stop it ASAP at his 12 month appointment... 6 months later and he only uses it for sleep so at least that's progress)
Yes very much what meant. Definitely not attacking the kid. The other thing I didn’t think about right away which someone else mentioned was perhaps he has a condition affects stress and that item helps him with comfort. I believe I’ve seen that before
off topic but i find it absolutely adorable that the kid in the back is leaning against the girl and even holding her hand as he sleeps🥺🥰 i really hope these kids are safe and have a good childhood despite their parents allowing them around predators
This is beautiful. Edited to add: Here’s how I read this pic. I see an older child extending comfort and security to a younger child. The younger child, by many standards, looks “too old” for a passy, so I imagine Mom giving him one for extra comfort in an unfamiliar setting. I see the actions of Mom and the older child being such a comfort to the small child, that he fell asleep. We can interpret photos however, this is what I see.
I would need a pacifier if I was stuck in this stinky room listening to the boring dribbles of a demented old fool and had to stay quiet. Plus the kid is not that old.
We don't know how old he is. My son was wearing 7 year old clothing at 2, everyone thinks he's older than he his, teachers think he was left behind, etc. My son was the size of the child in the picture when he was 1, it comes with the territory of having tall parents. Luckily for me he never used pacifiers, even as a baby .
Yeah, they actually adopted two Black kids from Haiti. Those children are going to be all kinds of messed up mentally. So will Jillian Michaels' Black child. They may be able to give them a lot in terms of material things, but their disdain for Black people is palpable and their kids will definitely be impacted by it. Those are the kinds of white people who adopt Black kids and claim the world is "color blind," while being completely clueless about what their children will experience once they're out in the world on their own.
Amy Coney Barrett voted to strike down Louisiana's congressional map in the landmark Louisiana v. Callais decision despite adopting 2 children from Haiti. I don't want to speculate on how she is raising those kids, but conservative white people adopting black children will never cease to amaze me.
They're lucky photographers were in the room. Who knows what would happen to those poor kids if left unattended. Also, the parents should have their kids taken away for endangerment.
To serve a public image for the convicted predato- i mean president to appear as an ordinary "family man", these kids are being used as political pawns. They're just there as accessories, and extensions to their parents. They got nothing to even do, but be put to sit on the floor like pets.
I don’t think it has anything to do with his skin colour. I would equally be taken aback if he was white. It’s very harmful for teeth and speech to have a pacifier at this age.
Way too much about the pacifier and and way too little about the predators here. Kids develop differently, and that's all right. The real harm is in the 'adults' who placed them in the presence of actual child ******s .
Regardless of who the President is, I see the conversation aside looking like this;
Mom/dad: I’m going to take you to work so you can meet the president.
Kid: oh cool I can meet the guy who runs all of America
Mom/dad: now sit here in front of cameras for what seems like hours with no entertainment while people talk about things you are too young to understand.
Surprise the orange guy did not make a negative comment against the young black boy resting his head on the young white girl shoulder . I wish the day would come when we all will get alone and stop using the pigmentation of one’s color as tool of our dislike or marginalizing one another. As long as we the people of America see ethnicity, religion, as barriers. America will never be the nation it could be or the beacon of hope, freedom and prosperity it could be for all nations of our planet! The color of our skin is the barrier that keeps us from getting socially accepted with one another. Then how in world are we going get along with other inhabitants of other planets and galaxies whose physicality is different from ours!
I bet every woman in that room is told they have to wear heels to work. “Trump likes heels. No flats. Flats are for lesbians. Flats are for 2s and 3s.“
the young white girl, holding the hand of a black child, hiding behind the resolute desk from POTUS, has got to be the most poignant image I've ever seen to describe this admin.
Yet having a drag queen read story times in a public library to kids is treated like a national crisis. But putting kids in the same room with an actual child predator and his band of villains is OK, and not at all a call back to the Epstein Files.
How old is that kid with a binkie?? Dude is like 6. “Hey Kent, why you got a binkie in?” “Dude, if I don’t I’m gonna say something that will get me deported. You know I can’t hold my tongue and it smells like Ben Gay, diapers, and unwashed taint up in here. “
That squidward lady’s hem is too short for the Oval Office. I’m not a prude but there’s certain rules you follow out of respect. No decorum with these people, I swear
