Four months after she delivered her first baby, Allison Tan received a text message from a good friend asking her if “everything was ok” with her newborn. A little confused and not sure what prompted the text, Allison asked her friend why she sent the message.
Apparently, Allison’s friends were worried because they hadn’t seen a single photo of baby Meera on social media.

And, there was nothing on the child on social media - definitely abnormal in this digital-age where parents post, share, like and repost their lives regularly online.
