Courtney Adamo, co-founder of Babyccino Kids, has been left outraged after posting a photo to Instagram of her toddler sticking out her belly and showing off her big girl underwear. After posting the photo, the mum-of-four received warning emails from Instagram, telling her they had removed one of her photos for “violating the community guidelines”.
The community guidelines state that: “you may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service."
Courtney says: “The photo showed her round belly, and, if you look very closely, her left nipple. She is a baby. To me, this is not nudity, and I thought it was such a gorgeous photo of her sweet belly and how proud she was to be wearing underpants.”
After deciding to repost the photo on Tuesday, Courtney's account - which had over 36,000 followers and four years of family photos - was deleted
She has tried to contact Instagram about reinstating her account as she feels the action taken was totally uncalled for, but has yet to hear back from the social network.
