Heather Walker, Memphis Mother, Banned From Facebook After Posting Photos Of Terminally Ill Son

A mother has been banned from Facebook after posting images of her newborn son, reports KCTV 5 News.

Parents Heather and Patrick Walker of Memphis, Tennessee welcomed their son Grayson James Walker on February 15, 2012, notes the Daily Mail.

The infant lived only eight hours after suffering from anencephaly, a rare birth defect where a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.

To share his memory with family and friends, Walker took to Facebook posting the photographs of her deceased son.

Shortly after, the social network deleted the images. When the Walkers encouraged family and friends to contact Facebook in protest, the social network banned the mother from the site entirely, notes the Daily Mail.              More Read
