From taping children’s lips to stop mouth breathing at night to helmets that mould a baby’s skull to a desired shape.

Social media has helped to spread tips and ideas on how to correct physical imperfections in children. But experts warn these tips are potentially dangerous.

A report published by Shanghai-based magazine Sixth Tone in September highlighted a growing number of parents who believe that they can enhance their children’s appearance by taping their mouths before they sleep.

This is what happens when you mix a really low birth rate with an incredible desire for your offspring to be successful (so they can attract a mate and give you a grandchild).

If a child cannot breathe through his/her nose because of allergies or illness couldn’t taping the mouth shut kill the child?

In that case shouldn’t taping a kid’s mouth shut be premeditated murder?

When my kid mouthed off to me he got a SPANKING, and after a few times, that was the end of that problem.

Amen. And all these flat headed babies are caused by mothers too afraid of letting their infants sleep on their stomachs due to “SIDS”

I think I see the root cause of the problem.......

Why SO many people listen to some random man or woman on YouTube, TikTok, etc. on how to run things in their life......

Oy vey.

Experts are alarmed at...social media spreading tips and ideas on how to correct physical imperfections in children.

But "experts" are perfectly happy with chopping dicks and tits off children to improve those "physical imperfections."

What a world.

At least with the lips taped it’s harder for the kids to do the Tide Pod challenge (hopefully that’s not still a thing).
