My mom has a small birthmark at her temple and she has always hated it. It wasn't always at her temple. As she grew, it ended up there. She also has very poor eye sight. She is blind on the side she has the birthmark. She could only see if it was light or dark, but eventually lost all sight. She has vision issues with other eye, as well.
If my mother, still hates that birthmark and, while it is visable, still hates it after over 70 years of life, how much more for a child who has it on half of their face?
Kids can be cruel to other kids for any perceived differences. I don't have any birthmarks, but I hated school, especially elementary school, because, I got bullied a lot. My difference was that I was usually the youngest, shortest kid and I had red hair and glasses. I was the size of a small three year old and 30lbs when I was in grade one. All of the girls had long hair, but my hair was so short and the only time it had been cut was when I got a hold of kid scissors and cut a small piece of hair when I was little. I wanted pigtails like the other girls. My mom tried her best, but I barely long enough hair to use an elastic, so it was another thing ridicule me. I can joke now that my red hair was a bullseye that made it easier for bullies to find me. At the time, it effected me badly. I was already a sickly kid, who had a lot of respiratory issues due to undiagnosed asthma. I was anemic, with lots of allergies too.
Judging by my pictures, I was actually a cute, tiny little girl with strawberry blonde hair with dimples, with a 100 watt smile. I was happy and friendly, a bit shy, and sweet natured. That changed so much in a couple of years of school. I remember an adult family friend asking me what was wrong because I went from a bubbly, smiling, happy little girl to being very quiet, rarely smiling, nervous kid.
That often happens when you are an easy target at school. Teachers had so many kids in class that a well behaved, quiet child didn't get much notice.
I applaud these parents for being proactive in using medical intervention that has helped their child's eyesight and their heart. No one should be assaulted or mocked so badly that their personality changes. They have saved their child from that.

As adults we may think birthmark are cool and it's nothing to be concerned about but I grew up with a kid whose face was covered by a birthmark and from kindergarten to highschool he was bullied to a ridiculous point. I thought he was cool for having this but my little brother who was in his class confessed he was ruthlessly mocked for it. He got it removed as hair started to grow on it. Im on the fence about lasering a babys face but insulting the parents is so wild. People can be awful just because you look different, I come from a place where we see africans moms with albino children saying theyre here because their children would be in danger in their country. We like to think differences arent much but the world can be awful to people who have them: /

People are so ignorant: why on earth would any sane person judge you for this. People can be so cruel: if I had a baby born with this condition, and there was a treatment that could potentially remove these red areas, I would not hesitate to go for it. These parents saved their child from a very hard life; YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. If people jusge you, they are being ignorant and they should mind their own business.

People forget how brutal children can be. My mom passed away and I was the only kid in class without one of my parent. Children bullied me for it for years. What I mean to say is that even if you are slightly different kids will bully you. Every kid deserved a good childhood. I wish we lived in world where slight differences did no lead to brutal bulling, but we do not. Good job parents!

I had scars myself from chickenpox. I had two big holes on my forehand. It would have been easier to treat them as a child. As an adult, I had to work, I had some problems during the treatment which took place in several parts. It was more stress. As a child, I didn't care but as an adult I started to feel bad about this. This is really the best decision to make for a child.

We are living in a world of beauty, where all people should be pretty. So people are really hypocrits in their comments. And you have done very well for your baby, to do this laser treatment. Because people criticize, even they know very well that, in our time if in life we --are ugly, we do not succeed. This is the cruellaty of this actual world. So perfectly done -

Just ignore any haters! F-them for real what your doing for your child is amazing. Keep doing everything in your power to help your child have a normal life! My mother had to have her daughters legs broken and reset so both of us could walk normal and not live a life of Forest Gump braces. It is a brave thing to help your child. Thank you for sharing. --

just because something makes you -unique- doesn-t mean its a good thing. Birthmarks are beautiful and no one should be ashamed about them but clearly the parents thought about how it could negatively impact their sons life. They would have been lucky if he didnt grow up being insecure about it. There is nothing wrong with what they did!

I'm more concerned about her assertion of dominance. The husband was like we're partn- NO I'M THE BOSS, REMEMBER YOUR PLACE YOU SCUM! Like geez okay it was so random, and kind of awkward for him. he just stood there. The scene was meant to be a sweet moment and she just drove it to the ground. Seems like a healthy relationship.

People online can be very rude. My sister was born with port wine on half of her face much like this sweet babe. There was in googling in 1976. My parents just left it. It did fade only a tiny bit remains and did not escalate, thank God. This little guy is so handsome. I hope no further complications

Don't listen to anyone negative. My son was born with birth defects. All the surgeries and procedures were done and completed before he was two years old. Do it when they are very young and they won't remember any pain and trauma. Well done! You got it done and the results were fantastic!

My mum died when I was 4 months old and it was because of me and I blame myself for it I should of just stayed in her stomach and she wouldn-t had to have an emergency c-section so she could get me out early to do heart surgery. 4 months later it didn-t work and she died -

Port wine stain birthmarks can get worse and have complications. Laser treatments are not just for aesthetics. The parents did the research and made a decision. That baby is so cute and the treatments are done. They all can get on with their lives. -

How in the hell could people judge parents for seeking medical treatment so their infant son wouldn-t have eye issues, vascular issues, and potential neurological problems? We have modern medicine for a reason, good god.

I probably would have done the same thing, honestly. I do want to say though that he will remember it. We don't forget things just because we are babies. We don't have the language to talk about it but it will be remembered.

I have nothing against those parents, I just think it's sad that people are so mean to others that we as a society have to get rid of what makes us different in order to avoid bullying/harrasment or even worse.

The comments are talking about him being bullied for it, but that-s not even my concern. It could-ve medically affected him, which is so scary. I-m happy he-s okay now

I'm never good at trying to choose who's parent does the child resemble the most, but I feel he resembles the grandma more than the parents. It's adorable.

I think you did the right thing. Kingsley won-t be bullied because of the birthmark. It must have been very difficult to go through the procedures.

As the child grow older, he will be thankful that you did the treatment. This world is cruel, and it gets crueler when you have defects.
