Its easy enough to say they can take them out and they will heal up if they dont want it done but I took my second earrings out about 6 years ago now and still have holes there

Also, its not safe tbh. They could catch them on something, they could be pulled out at school/nursery...

Agree 100%. Some parents treat children as objects rather than people and do with them as such. Should be made ilegal to abuse a child in a pysical way unless there are medical reasons.

Religious rituals and indeed religious beliefs should by law not allowed to be imposed on children until they reach an age of consent and approval and understanding as to why certain thigs are done and beliefs are formed......Age of consent for religion indoctrination and physical ritulistic proceedures should be 18.

Anything physical done to a child or indoctrinated beliefs should be regarded as child abuse......
