Easy Explanation
When an Instagram user asked why Erin doesn’t show Helen’s face on social media, she described the “awful feeling” of having the public “pick apart” the toddler’s face. “We are the protectors of her image,” she explained. “Without Helen, our lives would be hollow and there would be nothing to share.
