Beswick's blog. She explained that this means" he has no eye, eye socket, nostril, ear and a short jaw."
"If someone hates to look at my child then I have two
things to say. A) scroll past and B) you're an arsehole," she wrote,
adding that she is "beyond disgusted."
Beswick told Mashable that the post was only reinstated after "public
outrage." She added that she was "furious" to learn it had been
deleted and found its deletion "offensive."
In
an Instagram post, Beswick said that she was troubled by the fact that some
people felt her son's face didn't meet the platform's guidelines.
"What
do you see when you look at my boy? I see the most beautiful smile, wonderful
heart & purest love," she wrote.
"I'm glad to have my
boy's image back where it belongs but still feel that the 'guidelines' that my
son's face didn't meet need changing," she wrote.
