I don't recall the example well, sort of skimmed over it, but as I rcall, the parents had pictures of some of their kids and not of others. Is this "bad form"? Perhaps. Illegal? No. Bullying? No. Why did the parents do it? There might have been very good and valid reasons. Or there might not. Who knows? It's a sort of silly hypothetical unless we know. Perhaps the one child whose picture was omitted was extraordinarily vain and when they had her picture there, every time anybody entered the room would go over to it and monopolize the conversation emoting about how beautiful she looked, how neat her hair was, how red her lips were, and on and on. I that case, my sympathy is entirely with the parents in taking the picture down. Doesn't suggest that they love the child any less or mean her any harm.
