why do ppl do this, its so cruel, some do it to let ppl know their baby is a girl, but thats stupid, all you have to do is dress them like a girl or simply open your mouth and tell ppl, if ppl all over started doing this to their dogs i could guarantee animal rights activists would step in, dont you think that ppl that do this to their little babies should be charged with child abuse, if they shoved a needle thru any other part of their childs body they would be, so why is the ear OK, cuz it looks pretty, thats so stupid, what do you think, should they be arrested

Yeah I definitely got my daughters ears pierced when she was 4 months old. I did it because it's better for her to get them done now so she won't remember the pain when she is older. She only cried for about 15 seconds. It truly wasn't that big of a deal. Hey, she had two open heart surgeries already, and will be getting another one around 2 years old. If she can make it through that, she can make it through anything. She's my daughter= NOT YOURS.

No. I wish my mom would have gotten my ears pierced when I was a baby. I'm 15 and it hurts too much so I don't want to get them pierced. When you're a baby it doesn't hurt as much and it doesn't hurt for very long. Many people believe that it's best to just go ahead and get it over with and if the child grows up and decides she doesn't want her ears pierced she can just take out the earings and let the hole grow over and never remember the pain she went through to actually get them pierced. The babies will cry a lot more because their scared that it actually hurting. The older they get though, the harder it is to pierce the ears because it hurts more than when their just a baby.

No they shouldn't be arrested. It's not harmful to the child unless there's neglect present in the first place and they get infected. Secondly dog owners do do things like this all the time! Dog's ears don't naturally stand up like you see certain breeds with. Their ears have to be cut and shaped to look the way they do. Also many breeds of dogs have "bobbed" tails which involves cutting off their tail when they're very young. I personally am not going to have my daughter's ear's pierced until she can take care of them herself. It just makes more work for me and there's really no need.

Parents who piece their infants ears earlier than the age of consent must be arrested and charged with baby abuse/mutilation. Parlors must be strictly prohibited from giving piercings or tattoos to people who can not talk for themselves.

My parents got me and my sister's ears pierced when we were babies, in the 70's and I am happy that they did. I do not remember the pain. I really do not think it is a big deal, I think you are blowing this way out of proportion. There are far more serious things occurring to be thinking about parents piercing their daughter's ears.

are you serious!! abuse? the infant doesn't even remember it!! plus, if you are so worried about ears being pierced as an infant, why dont you try to attack all the doctors who circumcize babies at birth. ohhhh noooo... they are cutting off skin without the babies permission, i guess they should be arrested too? that brings me to my next question... are u circumcised? if so, arent you happy you were and surely u dont want to arrest your parents for it? wouldnt you rather have had something done when you were an infant and didnt remember the pain? good lord! grow up!

I'm not sure what country you or your parents come from, but this is America. Piercing a girl's ears could be associated with custom, religious beliefs, or personal preference. It is not cruel. While I preferred to wait until my girls were a specific age for them to make that decision, I see no reason to place requirements on everyone.
You sound terribly immature to want to demand that everyone agree with your beliefs. Lighten up, there are much more meaningful topics that could benefit from your dedication.

i dont agree with puting hoopes in their ears i have seen some mothers do that with thier little girls and the baby could rip them out
i read on the internet just the other day that there is one part in africa that they peirce there daughters ears within the first 24 hours of life just like the circumcizins do here

No! I got my ears pierced when I was 4 and trust me, its not that big of a deal. Plus, there are so many other things that are bad for kids that are so much worse than piercing.
Plus, say parents feed their kids a bunch of junk food and the kid gets really fat and, he gets diabetes. Would you punish the parents?
