This girl on TV sorta got to me though: http://wbli.com/images/morningshow/l...face_tumor.jpg I saw a documentary about her. It was truly sad. IIRC they got a bunch of doctors from around the world to reconstruct her face after the growth was removed pro bono.

I see your point, but kids don't understand social boundaries. so when a kid see's something like this they point and start asking questions.. which usually embarrasses both the parent and the person in question. So I could see why some parents would do this.
