The page is gone. It took far too much energy to get them to acknowledge what was obvious to all of us from the start, but we won.

After several thousand people reporting the page, Facebook is refusing to close down the page. The following reply has been sent out:

"We take our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities very seriously and react quickly to remove reported content that violates our policies. Specifically, we’re sensitive to content that includes p ornography, bullying, hate speech, and actionable threats of violence.The goal of these policies is to strike a very delicate balance between giving people the freedom to express themselves and maintaining a safe and trusted environment. In general, groups devoted to jokes, even disgusting and distasteful ones, do not violate our policies. Where these groups make real threats or statements of hate, however, we will remove them. We encourage people to report anything they feel violates our policies using the report links located throughout the site.Specifically, dead baby jokes groups and pages in general do not violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. However, should there be any specific images believed to display children at risk, we encourage the reporter to bring them to our attention so that we can investigate them and take action accordingly."


Hopefully, this petition will reach the news and the page will be shut down. Lets do whatever we can do to get this disgusting page taken off of Facebook!

Seeing this grow makes me realize we are not the only ones sickened by what is allowed to stay online. It is exhausting to fight against such a massive company that hides behind generic policy answers. We are going to keep pushing until they stop ignoring the hurt they cause.

Facebook really has no shame. They claim to have policies but then let this stay up? Unreal.

Some things should just be off limits. We have enough hate in the world without this crap being shared for laughs.
