BABY IN MY TUM

Image GuidelinesImage Guidelines

• Escalate – We have context here. We know that some form of abuse has taken place and the razor blade gives us an indication of how the user intends to punish them self. Any user that feels they ‘need to be punished’ should warrant escalating an image.

• Accept – This image can be read several ways. It’s tempting to see something sinister, but this could easily be an image of them and their sister not well drawn. Unless it’s clear that the child is saying that abuse is taking place we should accept.



Accept - This should be accepted as usual. There is no indication here that the user means that they are currently harming.

THANK YOU TOO!
