UK: Will baby earrings be banned soon?

Many little girls at the age of several months go with their mothers to jewelry stores to get their ears pierced. Tradition in some families and cultures, or simple flirtation that annoys thousands of people. Indeed, in England, a bad noise literally erupted around the pierced ears of children. The petition was even filed just over a week ago. We find Susan Ingram at the origin of this "war on piercings". The Briton does not understand the parents who impose this on their children. Not wanting to see little girls with these jewelry, she decided to contact the Ministry of Children's Affairs.

The petition has already been signed by 33 thousand people.

«It is forbidden to pierce the ears of babies! This is a form of cruelty towards children. They are needlessly inflicted with pain and fear. It's useless except to please the parents."She stated that she is accompanying her petition, which continues to be broadcast on the Internet. In less than a week, the latter has already collected more Signatures 33... She urges children to be given a minimum age to wear this piercing. Controversy rages on social media and divides Internet users. Many moms advocate ear piercings for the little ones, claiming that their daughters are happy to wear discreet jewelry. Others argue that this is a tradition in some cultures and therefore it would be disrespectful to forbid it. At the moment, the British Minister for Children (Edward Timpson) has not spoken about this. What do you think of earrings for babies?
