Perhaps his wee wee never grew like the rest of his body. 🤣
My mother grew up in the same neighborhood as Andy Warhola, she stated all the kids called him, "sissy".
You have to be careful. Child services sometimes considers a father bathing his 2 year old daughter to be molestation.

I thought this was a report from The Onion
Did his parents get paid for the photo?
An interesting aside is a current TV ad for bath tubs.
The two kids are very young but not infants. The boy is without any clothing. The girl is shown enjoying her bath in a one piece bathing suit.

They are saying, if we get outed as a pedophile, then you ALL are pedophiles.
