tribal mark

gwad forbid bad thing

would definitely have her head & definitely not on a platter

how can you do that to my child!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i'll opt for surgery cos i wouldnt want my child to grow up being stigmaatized or branded

as for the mother, she wouldnt get within a mile of my offspring or me again

gosh we r in the 21st century for christ sakes

I think tribal marks are for identification. I have a colleague who has this horrible marks on his face. Got to know from him that whenever they (family members/ relations) see themselves , its easy to recognise one another.

Though, personally, I can't and won't fall for it. It seems it's common among the Oyo state people.

wot child abuse.d poor child has been disfigured 4 lyf,unfortunatly no amount of facial surgery can repair d damage.it's painful n emotionally traumatising especially 2 d mother dat her child has A NEW LOOK.no wonder dey say illiteracy is a disease cos wot d f*&^^^k is dat tribal bul sh*#t meant 4.dose who r in support of dat crap say in case d child is kidnaped dey can easily identify him,un4tunatly dat crude ideology of tribal marks of any kind dont work dis days.d best tin d mother can do is just accept her fate n dont eva take any of her kids 2 spend d holidays with dia granny except its just a visit were d mother will take them.but really its an infringement moreso because d old woman dint take permission from her son or her dota inlaw.however i suggest d woman shouldnt go visitin or allowin her kids 2 spend holidays with their granny,but d man is free 2 go n if at al d kids must go,dey must go with their father,i tell u d old woman will understand d message sharp sharp because sometimes non verbal communication is more effective n faster in delivering d message than talkin.

can't believe that there people who actually came on here and found this funny my God this is the type of thing that can make me kill someone. try this on my child and something real bad will happen.

what are the kids going to spend holidays with her for? i think she shouldn't ever be allowed to be in the same house as the kids again.

the marks can be minimised with surgery but not completly removed. when closing open skin there will always be a scar. as for the mother in law she was completly out of line. i would report her to the authorities. as for the husband, he should defend the safty and well being of his child above all others, be it his mother, wife, or anyone else.

First of all this is def' funny, and that is because it didn't happen to anyone I know, otherwise we all wont be laughing. My advice to the mother is to seek medical help. This might be the best time for the child to undergo surgery, the baby's skin might be very receptive of skin grafts, which in this case should be the mother-in law's fleshy body part. preferably her thigh or buttocks. Everyone can live with their own scar, child, culprit mother in law and the parents, although parent's scar would be looking at their child everyday.

i feel bad. poor boy.

Sad! Could it be that the husband knew what his mum was about to do,and still allowed such fate on his own kid? An educated man! I think if that should be the case,the man need a good spanking,cus he knew better,and should have protected the innocent child from his own mother's ignorance.

I wonder how you could sound so vicious and so adoringly caring at the same time

Divine intervention saved me also, in my case my mother's conscience wldnt let her go thru with it(just a cpl months old), she told me they inserted the blade, I started screaming, then she started crying and told them to stop, (all my grandma's idea, bad grandma) thank god for mi madre! within the year I was in the states. She saved me a lifetime of bullying and insecurities. Imagine intentionally disfiguring an otherwise perfect gift from the heavens.

Hum c'est pas vrai

Wondering – heard tribal marks are used as a form of medicine – heard the Yoruba are only doing is to their children if they are extremely ill, as a kind if putting traditional medicine under the skin, (injection) for the child’s protection, how long are the marks? Where are they? Why did not mother left her child?
