The kid/vulture pic literally broke me for about 3 weeks and made me cry for humanity. There is no unseeing that image.

Arm is cropped out for a reason. So as not to show the tattoo.

I heard about this. The child was abandoned and no one would touch him because they believed he was cursed/a witch/ some reincarnation

Not the same woman or the same child. Her insta is here - http://instagram.com/dinnoedhjaelp The child's name is Hope and he's doing v well.

Or at least as well as can be expected of a boy with a girl's name.

Also she didn't adopt him. She has a son of her own, though. Hope is thriving at an orphanage in Nigeria.

The child on the right is definitely not two years old. Source: have two year old. Stop upvoting this Facebook bullshit.

Idk how anyone believes that second pic is the same kid. The skin color isn't even close to the same

Okay, good. I thought I was an asshole for looking at that child and thinking, "There's no way that's the same kid!"

No. Not 70, just beaten, abused, and malnourished. But you're right, let's worry about if the child is 'ugly' or not instead

So the caption is basically true, but the 2nd picture is false? Is that correct?
PrettyBlondeGirlWithAnAssThatWontQuit
Basically true = woman did name him Hope and brought him into her group home rather than adopt him.

Still looks like they're doing better than they were in the picture

The starving kid was abandoned by her family for being suspected of witchcraft. It's a relatively common occurrence there for children
desartragin
Yeah hope was accepted back into the towns orphanage. The kid in the photo is an orphan she adopted
therealgiraffe
That makes more sense. The two kids in this post look nothing alike and are about the same age...
ISupportYourViews
Honestly, the woman in the left pic looks like she could be the mother of the woman in the right one.
AZDan2012
This is a better outcome than the guy's photo of the kid and vulture. Kid died and the photographer killed himself years because of it.
graehall
Exactly the thought running through my mind. What a terrible story. Compared to a story of Hope.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Sounds like it's a bit more complicated than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Carter#Alternative_account
kgbofficer
It wasn't BECAUSE of the child dying, although that may have been a single part of many to lead to it. In his suicide note, he talks about..
kgbofficer
The recent death of his close friend and colleague, his depression, and his crippling debt. Time magazine talked about his drug problems...
kgbofficer
So that single event may have a very slight hand in his suicide, it was one of multiple factors.

I didn't realize this was something more in your statement . I'm sure to some it might sound insensitive or making a joke.
supremepooperscooper
I think he committed suicide because of a number of things, including the fact that he had to see a lot of things.
Jiim52
Kevin Carter.. "Manic street preachers" did a great song about it.
batmanforpresident
The photographer killed himself due to the pressure from media and such. I think he won Pulitzer or something. The kid survived tho.

Survived for 30 minutes. Nobody knows after that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_vulture_and_the_little_girl though he killed himself fate of child is unknown
SirSastonSquatch
I believe he wasn't allowed to feed the kid even though he wanted to, I might be wrong though.
littlmickey
Even if he could, unless he removed the child from that environment, he would have died anyway - he isn't the only one either. It's tragic
5out0f7
WTH WHY WASN'T HE ALLOWED TO FEED THE POOR KID
KenpachiRamaSamaSenpaiSanChan
I think due to extreme starvation they have to limit what they can eat or it can rupture their stomach, but If I remember he was in a camp
5out0f7
THEN WHY DID HE DIEEE D:
Caremono
because life is not fair, babies die, people fuck kids, nobody is special, everybody dies alone.
BritishBatman
because armed soldiers put guns to his head.
CityYeti
True. He was led by guards that told him he could only stop for a second
SmellOfMonkey
He was Kevin Carter. The child was very close to an aid station. Carter was instructed not to touch the child as it may have been 1/2
SmellOfMonkey
carrying deseases. It wasn't anything to do with it not being in his contract. And he wasn't threatened. He won the Pulitzer Prize for 2/3
SmellOfMonkey
picture. Then took his life a short while after. He'd been to quite a few places (Rwanda during the genocide) that ended up destroying 3/4
SmellOfMonkey
him. But that was what he was there for, to report and make the world aware. He wasn't a medic. Anyone saying that he could/should have 4/5
asukara
IIRC another photographer said the child's parents were there getting food from aid workers while kid waited & Carter shooed away the bird
SmellOfMonkey
That's not something I'd read, from what i remember reading the child was an orphan. It's a possibility, but if the child had parents 1/2
SmellOfMonkey
it wouldn't have been left like that. 2/2
MoreCowBellBaby
He. He may have been
ChroniclesofKT
thank you for that.
GoDDstopper
Wasn't he surrounded by militants and warned that if he helped he would be shot?
BruceMightBeBatman
yup the only thing he could do was take pics and thats it
OurRapture
You're right on that. His contract didn't allow him to. He was only allowed to take pictures, that was it.
KingShitOfTurdMountain
He wasn't prohibited from feeding her. Just was told not to touch the diseased.
PrincessC137
Guess I'd just get fired then.
FacemanPeck
So was Rambo in Rambo First Blood Part 2 but he said fuck that and saved the day anyway!

Um no it was because armed soldiers forbid it. Contract? Wtf are you talking about.
plainoldfool
I'd call an armed soldier a contract. The AK47 is the signature on the dotted line
themanwhoisalternatelyrudeandpolite
What soldiers? There was no one stopping him from helping her. He even said so himself.
BritishBatman
fucking thank you.
shutyourpieholedouche
Yes I believe it's still fucked up to let a child die because of a contract.
BritishBatman
armed fucking soldiers, you really think a piece of fucking paper would stop people from helping a dying child? use your brain.
iambanned
Fuck... this is why we need a different system
DennisDoesStuff
The system is different, that's why she not only nourished that child, but was able to adopt him. Thins are improving friend.

Kid on the right is lighter, not her.

nah bruh, he gained weight so his skin stretched out which made him look lighter. Is that how it works?

Or maybe, just maybe, being homeless in Africa exposes a person to the sun more than being housed in America?

That doesn't mean you change race, the kid on the right is half black

But the girl was Danish?

Sorry, that was my own geocentrism at play. My argument applies just as well to Denmark, though.

Yea the kids is ok but the "after" pic is them. The kid is a lot darker but looked healthy and happy in the irl article I read.
