This is not a happy baby and people are predominantly misinterpreting it. Very chilling to me. It makes me worry about the children being raised by the people who are having such trouble with an empathetical awareness of this baby's evident dismay and fear. It is just so shocking to me because the emotions being displayed by this baby are not subtle.

Infants are so dependent on empathetic comprehension from their caregivers.
