I let my 12-year-old pierce this hidden body part and many are calling it too sexual

A mom has come under fire on after letting her 12-year-old get a piercing in a hidden body part.Whitney Ainscough shared a clip of her daughter, Cora, at McDonald’s, proudly showing off the new jewelry.Her text on screen read: “Sooo… Cora got her tongue pierced last week.A lot of people will judge, but she wanted it.

You’ve got your belly, your tongue, two [sets] of ear [piercings], you’ve had your rook and your helix,” she said.The comment section didn’t hold back with its opinion on Whitney giving her daughter permission.“Your parenting once again is shocking,” one critic wrote.“S...
