By · CommentsNUDITY BAN: Tobin Attard’s picture was removed from Facebook by the social networking site after his picture was deemed too explicit. Pic: Jamie Hanson Source: MEET Tobin Attard, the baby who is too raunchy for Facebook. Tobin, aged six weeks, was banned from the social networking site because he bared too much flesh. His over-exposure has led to a warning to proud parents that they should be more careful when posting pictures of their newborns.Mum Tuscany Attard, 29, posted the semi-nude happy snap of her then three-week-old bub in an album accessible only to friends.But Facebook last week removed the photo – in which Tobin was wearing his blue singlet but no nappy – and sent Mrs Attard a curt warning over the breach.”Initially, I didn’t know which photograph they were referring to. I was surprised that I could have violated their terms of use,” the mother-of-two said.”I had actually posted this pic accidentally. I almost deleted it but then thought, ‘Nah, it’s cute’, and I left it up there. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. “I didn’t even consider that I was breaking the rules when I posted it.” But Mrs Attard said she respected the social networking website’s ruling.”It was probably more likely for child safety concerns, which are important,” she said.Mrs Attard is not the only proud mum choosing to share baby photos on social networking sites.Renee Barnes, 29, who regularly posts photos of her one-year-old daughter Aria to Facebook, said removing the photo was an overreaction.”I loved Facebook to share my first thoughts and photos of motherhood, but I think it was unnecessary to delete the baby’s pic,” she said.Facebook declined interview requests from The Sunday Mail
Hollywood stars help prevent suicide after Twitter alert
By · CommentsHollywood actresses Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos, star of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” helped police on Friday thwart a possible suicide attempt after being alerted to it through Twitter.Hollywood actresses Demi Moore, pictured on March 18, and Nia Vardalos, star of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” helped police on Friday thwart a possible suicide attempt after being alerted to it through Twitter.Moore and Vardalos were instrumental in rushing police to the home of an 18-year-old Florida man who had written a message on Twitter saying he had “messed up my life bad” and was “thinking about killing myself.”The suicidal man, who is not being identified by AFP, wrote a message addressed to Moore’s Twitter account saying he was “about to go hang myself from a tree outside my house and end my life.”"I have no reason to live anymore,” the man wrote, adding “I am going to send a live feed of me hanging myself. No one cares if I die or not.”Moore, who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher and goes by @mrskutcher on Twitter, wrote the man back asking if he needed help. He responded “yes.”Vardalos, who saw the exchange on Moore’s public Twitter feed, called a suicide prevention center in Los Angeles which contacted the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.The police officer who arrived at the young man’s home in Casselberry, Florida, around 2:30 am said in his report that he found him “sitting at his computer desk crying.”His mother told the officer her son was “very emotional and diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder.”The police officer said the man admitted posting the suicide threats on Twitter and that he “did not know what he would do to himself without help.”He was placed in protective custody.Moore posted a message on her Twitter account on Friday saying “Thank you Twitterverse for your help supporting someone in pain last night.”Varalos acknowledged on her Twitter feed @niavaralos that she had helped the authorities reach the suicidal man.”I called suicide line, connected to (Florida) police, gave his name+city, they saved him,” she wrote.She added that she was a “little shaken” but “want to say thank u Twitter for caring about a stranger in (Florida) last night.”It was the second time in less than a year that Moore was involved in preventing a possible suicide.In April of last year, Moore reported a suicide threat to police in San Jose after a woman wrote on her Twitter account that she was going to harm herself.
