Couple gets insulin pump tattoos in support of their son

Quebec couple get insulin pump tattoos to boost diabetic son's spirits.

Just saw this on FB, and was shocked to see some of the comments. I believe it was a very sweet thing to do for their son. It was their effort to make him feel less abnormal. I read through just a few comments on the FB posting of this, and saw more than one comment like "What terrible parenting!". Someone even suggested that they would support his use of meth. (Huh?)

So, what are your thoughts on this? Supportive parenting or...something else?

Knowing several kids on insulin pumps and how evil diabetes is I think people that comment like that are so ignorant of the disease it should be criminal!!

We wouldn't do it, but I certainly don't think that it makes them terrible parents or, what, supporters of drugs? LOL

Wouldn't be my choice of tattoo, but it was sweet that they are going the distance to show support!
