MySpace.com Considers Breast-Feeding Mom 'Too Sexual'

TACOMA, Wash. -- A Tacoma mother facing a ban from the social networking site MySpace.com has been gaining support for pictures posted of her breast-feeding.

Melissa Rocks said the networking site has removed images from her profile of her nursing her baby because MySpace.com believes the images are “too sexual.”

Rocks, a mother of three, reposted the pictures, and again, they were taken down and the Web site threatened to delete her profile, she said.



“We’ve seen flagrantly sexual images on there that haven’t been removed after reported attempts to get the removed. Yet in one day my wife’s pictures are removed three times,” Rocks' husband said.

According to Rocks, a woman in Delaware has started an online petition to support her, and so far, 2,220 people have signed it.

KIRO 7 Eyewitness News contacted MySpace.com, but they had no comment.

I left myspace because when I was breastfeeding raeden they kept taking down my pics. Haven't been back. i have a real blog elsewhere now

I know that some moms posted pics of random babies breastfeeding just to get the point to Tom. If anyone thinks breastfeeding is "sexual" is just a pervert. Anyone with a brain knows that breasts are naturally for babies not men.

That is true but at the same time if I had teenage boys and came up behind them when they were on the computer and they had pics of breasts, whether they had babies attached or not, I'd know it was only for one reason and it would not be to look at the cute little babies. Wow look at that run on sentence. Not sticking up for whoever owns Myspace now, dont think it is Tom anymore, just trying to see the other side of it.

I think it's total BS. I have seen videos of girls stripping on their profile, yet nothing is ever done or removed. It disqusts me that people out there would ban something so natural and beautiful.
