Why does Facebook keep deleting this photo?
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
This photo has gone viral because of it's beautiful meaning,
yet Facebook keeps deleting it.
This has to be one of the most touching pictures of all time.
The photo was taken by a mother with a very ill son, and his father sat with him under running water in the shower to soothe him.
The mother, who happens to be a photographer by the name of Heather Whitten, posted the image on Facebook in November 2014 after Fox, then aged about one, had an attack of vomiting and diarrhea.
Her son had been suffering from food poisoning. He was later taken to hospital.
“Thomas had spent hours in the shower with him, trying to keep his fever down and letting the vomit and diarrhea rinse off of them both as it came,” Ms Whitten wrote.
“It was a powerful moment for us as parents. As I sat in the shower with the two of them I was just overwhelmed with the scene in front of me. This man. This husband and partner and father."
Unfortunately, Facebook does not share the same sentiments and found the image offensive and inappropriate.
