She shows her daughter off to the Internet without her will
Should we start handing out consent forms to children whenever their parents show people pictures of them? Seriously, where are you going with this?
Anyway, yeah, the family and friends want to get money and recognition. A douchebag in one of the videos even has a shirt that says "let's get famous!"
I feel sorry for the girl, not because of her disease but because she's being exploited. I'd like to think that the parents and friends aren't doing this intentionally, but under the surface there's definitely some ulterior motives. The facebook posts about how beautiful she is or whatever don't bother me though. Yeah, they're flat out lies when it comes to her appearance, but maybe she's beautiful on the inside or some shit. I don't know.
I believe that she should be treated like an average person. Nothing above it, and nothing less. That's probably all she wants anyway; I know if I had Downs Syndrome I'd want to be treated like everyone else, yeah I'll learn slower, but I wouldn't want to receive "oh you're beautiful!" every day out of pity because I'll never be accepted for who I am. Almost everyone judges everyone by looks nowadays, it's sickening yes, but that's how it works.
She probably is beautiful on the inside, we'll never know, because all that we see are pictures of her with the caption: "LIKE THIS IF YOU THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL"
Call me heartless, but I honestly could care less about Adalia. I mean, I feel sorry that she had the .0000125% chance of getting the disease yes, but there isn't anything we can do about it yet.
