This Baby Was Born With A Birthmark Which Turned Her Into “Little Superhero”

ADVERTISEMENT

When Natalie Jackson was born four months ago, her parents admitted that they were “filled with panic.” Although doctors said the tiny baby was completely healthy, she arrived with a dark birthmark on face, which is expected to grow as the baby girl does.

But her parents‘ love for the uniquely beautiful baby soon conquered the fear and little Natalie was actually dubbed a “little superhero” since her birthmark resembles a Batman and Robin-style domino mask. Although Natalie‘s parents know that she might be facing some difficulties in the future, they agreed not to have the birthmark removed and embrace her unique and different looks. “Her mark means she is going to be strong no matter what life throws at her,” says Lacey. “People tell us how amazing her birthmark is and what a cute baby she is, and we couldn’t agree more.”

When the girl was a week old, she was taken to see an ophthalmologist (eye disease diagnostician) check if the birthmark isn’t causing any damage to her vision. She also had some other important consultations. Even though the face mask resembling birthmark might slightly increase the risk of developing melanoma in the future, it was a relief for the parents to find out that everything is fine.

This happy baby’s whole family, including her two brothers, ages 7 and 4, couldn’t be more delighted with the beautiful “superhero” baby and are prepared to stand behind her back no matter what. “We’ll always tell her it’s a part of who she is and who she is supposed to be. People will always know how special she is with her birthmark and how amazing she is inside and out.”

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

"Although Natalie‘s parents know that she might be facing some difficulties in the future, they agreed not to have the birthmark removed and embrace her unique and different looks." Hopefully the girl will appreciate her parent's decision and embrace her looks, otherwise there will be a lot of anger over her parent's decision.

She is very cute and looks such a happy little soul. It's a monumental decision to have to make on someone else's behalf, particularly with the increased risk of melanoma, even if it is slight. It might not be so easy to remove if she wants to later in life but I expect the family have been advised accordingly. May her superhero status carry her far.

I think she'll turn into a very beautiful girl. I just hope she doesn't have troubles with cruel humiliating idiots when she goes to school. I don't try to be dark here, I've just learnt to not expect much from people. I wish her good luck, I hope she remains just as special and charismatic as she is now!

the parents decided to have professional photos taken - once they realised how"unique! she was (after deciding not to help remove the disfigurement). Then they chose to share (for money) images of that poor baby - i do think it is disgrageful

The world of medical advancement has come a long way and by the time she's old enough, if she wishes to change her looks, she'll have those doctors in her hands, like putty. Either way, she's going to me it! And who knows--with such a unique look,, she just might land herself one hell of an amazing movie deal or similar.

Jesus, I would never judge another parent for loving their kid as they are, but unless the world changes DRASTICALLY in the next 5 years, this kid is going to resent them for the rest of her life. She's a beautiful, healthy, and adorably happy baby, but that birth mark is going to be an impediment the second she reaches socializing ages. I feel terrible for her.

I was bullied for a year in elementary school because my mother dressed me in clothes passed down to me from my grandmother, among other things like undiagnosed nearsightedness and the resulting clutziness because I couldn't see. I grew out of my grandmother's sizes, got glasses & switched schools, so my situation improved, but the scars were set & I have issues with trusting the people closest to me because of it, plus other things that aren't relevant to this discussion. That was only 1 year out of my childhood. This poor child will be subject to conflicting messages from her family, her teachers, true friends and cruel, fake "friends" who will hurt her to raise their own status. She will grow to resent the people who could have prevented much of her torment. "Whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" is a nice sentiment, but why make things worse for this child by not correcting something that can be corrected more easily now than later. Growing up is hard enough.

@Afghan Feminist - Thanks for speaking out the truth and being not afraid of Bored panda elite class of politically correct people. This birthmark is no where cute. Its a ugly blot on a cute-baby face instead. Though the parents have the right to choose whether to remove it or keep it as is, the kid in future will definitely have troubles. I have been among school kids, they can be terrible. Even let's say we live in perfect world and no kid will bull her, but what about her self confidence when she will notice that 99.999999 percent of other human beings does not have a same birthmark as her. I say to everyone to cut the b******t please along with PC and ideally remove this scar or birthmark or whatever cute name you want to give to that black mark.

I am friends with a woman who has light scarring on her face from having a her facial birthmark removed. She had had it done using her own money because it was literally ruining her life. She said school was the worst. She was bullied mercilessly everyday and called the most horrible names and no one wanted to be friends with her because the rumour went around that the birthmark was catching. This was in Elementary school. High school was even worse. And the bullying was as much physical as vocal. Things got so bad she even attempted suicide twice. Even then her parents wouldn't let her have the birthmark removed despite her councillor pleading with them. And they could well afford to. When she left school she found it hard to get work she decided to use her trust fund money to get the birthmark removed. She has now cut off all contact with her parents because she blames them for her horrible childhood. They don't know where she lives or does now and as she says, never will.
