Ignoring the usual Mail leanings, would you be happy if that was your kid? :|

Wouldn't bother me if it was my kid tbh.

Nakedness is nothing to be ashamed of and in this case shows the reality of having children - eventually everyone ends up too knackered to dress properly.

Yeah wouldn't bother me either. Not news, though nothing in The Mail is.

I think there are two things that come to mind:

1. It's not her kid. Would you want someone to pose naked with your child?
2. What would the response be if it was a naked man?

Different, because men are different from women.

It genuinely doesn't bother me at all.

I personally think we could solve a lot of problems by being naked around our still-innocent children and teaching them to be comfortable with their body quite apart from sexuality

Innocent all round and someone I trust?

What's the problem?

OMG she's obviously a paedophile!

Most European countries, this pretty natural sort of sight is how they advertise healthy products on TV. There's only something wrong with it if there is in your own head. Nudity and sex are not the same thing, especially to a baby that has yet to develop any weird prejudices.

You may as well say a women showing her hair in public is obscene - it's just a random nonsensical cultural prejudice.

Victorians covered up table legs, but it didn't make them any less perverted behind closed doors.

I'm with Rusty and JJW on this. Where is the problem? The problem is the Daily Mail taking an ordinary picture and trying to drum up prurian feelings among the populace to engender outrage and drive sales.

The photo doesn't, no, it's not as if he's a 15 yr old. That'd be a little weird maybe.
What does bother me is the wording "Coco claims that her curves are God-given rather than genetically enhanced", which implies the poor grotesque creature has been DNA re-sequencing herself to get a larger bottom.

From the story, the woman does have a relationship with the child - it's her sister's baby after all. And some sisters are close. If the mother doesn't mind (even to the point of not minding the photo being in the public arena) then I think you have to give her the right to say it's OK. It might not be something that should be on the front page, given the adult in the photo is naked but I think it would be deeply sad if we are now going on the assumption that adults and children always have to have some barrier between them unless they're actually their own children.

As to the woman in question... I don't know if she's had 'work done' or not but I find her a bit.. well, I think she's taken things a bit too far.

What the hell is wrong with this?

The horror, naked in bed sleeping with a baby relative.

WTF? Next the Daily Fail will be in shock that you have to get your knob out to have a piss.

It's the Daily Mail. Sets off a huge alarm where I work.
