Male children in some parts of the world are circumcised as a matter of
culture and/or religion. Turns out to be a good thing for reducing HIV
infection rates.
Girl children, especially Catholics, in America South of the US, Spain
and I'd guess elsewhere, have their ears pierced. Turns out to be a good
thing for accessorizing.
Girl children in many parts of Africa are subjected to clitorectomies at
puberty. At least used to be done by male tribal elders - without
anesthetic.
The piercings will go away if unused.
Children are starving to death as a deliberate means of genocide in
several places. Children are starving to death in Haiti because they are
unable or unwilling to distribute the US food aid sitting in warehouses.
Only 2% of the food delivered has left the warehouses.
A loved, healthy, well fed, housed and clothed baby with a couple of
little holes in her ears is a problem?
Find something worth being disturbed about.
