"We were told there that she's impaired. I saw during her introduction to the world that there was a bizarre thing with her. She didn't cry and she was breathing through the ribs. I was stunned in light of the fact that that was odd. Presently I hear that individuals are calling her names. That harms a ton. In the event that I had implies, I would place every one of them in prison," she added
Photographs of the child have been coursing via web-based media. A few clients compared her to a gorilla, causing shock and outrage among the people who identify with her.
