Facebook apologizes and reverses policy on posting pics of the late Grayson James Walker...


I previously reported  this week that  Facebook deleted the pictures Heather Walker posted of her son who lived only 8 hours after birth. When Heather reposted the photos, Facebook temporarily banned her from Facebook!
“But when hundreds of people shared Grayson’s photos at the Benefit for Grayson James Walker page  (www.facebook.com/pages/Benefit-for-Grayson-James-Walker/247676448648145), Facebook saw the error of its way and posted an apology.

Facebook saw the error of its way and posted an apology. “Upon investigation, we concluded the photo does not violate our guidelines and was removed in error. Facebook is a place where almost a billion people share more than 300 million photos a day. (…) occasionally, we make a mistake and remove a piece of content we shouldn’t have. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful family.

TN mom banned from Facebook for posting pics baby with defects....who lived 8 hrs.

Facebook has been known for banning pro life pics  of aborted babies.   They have also  been known to relax their standards on other social issues.  Millington, TN mom fights back and was subsequently banned from Facebook for 24 hours for re-posting pictures of her baby Grayson James Walker  who lived only 8 hours following birth.
(Heather) Walker learned of her baby’s fatal birth defect 16 weeks into her pregnancy. Though doctors said she could choose to abort, she decided to carry her son to term, turning to her faith to help with the months ahead.
 This family has a right to grieve their loss anyway they want. They hired a photographer from the non profit Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep to capture the short hours God gave them with their third child.
Heather and family are not taking this rebuff lightly as she reports in this video. I had posted previously about another TN family who had the same issue with their son Isaiah who lived  barely an hour but this  artistic family had the most beautiful way to honor his short life during their celebration of his life.
