>>Couldn't have anything to do with a doctor posting pictures of his tot child in bath clothes as the only image on the site. Nope, people do that on social networks all the time. I mean, parents own children and their childrens image, and it's okay for a psychiatrist to post pictures of his tot child in bath clothes on a mental health forum. She's sure to appreciate that when she's old enough to know what happened.
What an unusual way to view an entirely appropriate and innocent picture. Fascinating is one word for your remarks. There are others.
FYI - that is my granddaughter, not Dr. Bob's "tot child" and she is not in "bath clothes," whatever those are. She just finished swimming at our local YMCA and was wearing a bathing suit and covered with a beach towel to dry off/keep warm. Don't know what in heaven's name you are implying is wrong with this picture, but FYI, she was fully covered, and I sent the pic to Dr. Bob as a suggestion since whatever one he'd been using previously bored me to tears and was old.
And, as a matter of fact, even though I'd wager 98% of adults would never even consider this, I ***asked**** her if she cared if people she didn't know saw her cute picture on the computer and she said it was "okay." If she had said no, I would not have sent it to Dr. Bob. Not that this really makes sense since at 4, a child really does not have the maturity to evaluate such a question, and she very well may have said "okay" assuming it would make grandma happy. Kids do that at 4. However, our family believes in giving as much respect as her age level can possibly handle, so we try to give choices even a bit *before* understanding comes. I look forward to her asking me about it when she is older, which I doubt will ever happen. Why would she mind family showing an adorable pic to people?
It's a cute picture of a lovely little girl. That is all it is. What you are thinking it represents, even if is were a child related to Dr. Bob, is beyond me. I am sorry you cannot appreciate it for what it is.
