MySpace.com Considers Breast-Feeding Mom 'Too Sexual'

A Tacoma mother facing a ban from the social networking site MySpace.com has been gaining support for pictures posted of her breast-feeding.

Melissa Rocks said the networking site has removed images from her profile of her nursing her baby because MySpace.com believes the images are “too sexual.”

Rocks, a mother of three, reposted the pictures, and again, they were taken down and the Web site threatened to delete her profile, she said.

“We’ve seen flagrantly sexual images on there that haven’t been removed after reported attempts to get the removed. Yet in one day my wife’s pictures are removed three times,” Rocks' husband said.

According to Rocks, a woman in Delaware has started an online petition to support her, and so far, 2,220 people have signed it.

KIRO 7 Eyewitness News contacted MySpace.com, but they had no comment.
