Comments

I agree with the parents. Iwould have done the same thing they did. Kids have so much to contend with in school and socially. Children can be relentless in their bullying of other children over many different things, including appearance. When it's something like this nexus on the another child's face..I believe her school mates would have picked on her daily the older she got. If you can do something that doesn't change other features on this little girls face, like removing this growth, I say they did the right thing. Saved the little girl and her as an older child, a lifetime of mental abuse from others. And when they discuss this as the child gets older I don't believe the little girl is going to tell her parents they should have left the growth. I think she'll thank them for looking out for her from the very beginning. They lover her & want what's best for her. The doctors that admonished the parents for not wanting to wait until she grows up are being ridiculous & judgmental and should be ashamed of themselves.

It’s a warm summer day and you’re dying to open that can of soda you’re holding in your hand. You can’t wait to hear that hypnotic sizzling sound that soda makes while it cools down in a glass full of ice cubes. Thinking about this can make you drool, but it is important to keep in mind that if you forget to clean the lid, you might be drinking insect or animal waste without even realizing it.
