Facebook Profile Cartoon Pictures - Awareness of Child Abuse Using Cartoons

Facebook profile cartoon pictures will, until today, shed awareness of child abuse. There are many cartoon Facebook profile pics of 70's, 80's and 90's cartoon characters - so I've seen a lot of Daria, a lot of Looney Tunes, a lot of Mickey Mouse and some of my favorite throwbacks, including She Ra, the Thunder Cats, Rainbow Brite, and Strawberry Shortcake.

They just don't make cartoons like they used to, do they? Think of this though - in a few years, "cartoons from my childhood" will be Dora the Explorer, and Blues Clues...yikes!

The day ends a campaign that sought to send a rather serious message - there are children out there who are being abused.  We should all be aware of it and look for signs that abuse is taking place.

For instance, Zahra Baker is one little girl who was recently murdered. There are some who believe that her stepmother and her birth father abused her. Whether or not that abuse lead up to her death is uncertain. She suffered from bone cancer and had hearing loss as a result. Many look back and wish they would have said something.

The Facebook profile cartoon picture campaign is for all the little Zahra's out there, and moreso all the children out there that we can still help.

Cartoon Profile Pictures for Facebook

Facebook Cartoon Character profile pics are lighting up the social networking site.  In an effort to bring forth awareness of Child Abuse, cartoon characters of the 70's, 80's, and 90's are flooding the site.  A cursory glance at any one personal Facebook account will show you Smurfs, Rainbow Brite, Care Bears, Thunder Cats, and more.

There were some cartoons that I forgot about.  For instance, She Ra was a female superhero that empowered young girls - and I think she should stage a comeback, or at least get a feature film sort of like Iron man.

I also forgot about the Thundercats, and My Little Pony. Tin Tin is a popular cartoon character from Europe that I have seen on the profiles of some intellectuals as well.

Facebook is a great way to spread awareness about various issues.  Other recent campaigns include the "I like it on..." status, which is where women changed their status to where they like to put their handbag.  This was an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer.

You can find out more about the Facebook cartoon profile pic campaign, here.

The campaign is from now until December 6th - which is tomorrow.  Don't miss out on this fun chance!

70’s, 80’s, & 90’s Cartoon Characters For Your Facebook Profile


Cartoon characters from the 70's, 80's, and 90's are going to light up Facebook. Why? On Monday December 6, people are going to take to Facebook and change their avatar to cartoon characters to raise awareness of Child Abuse.

The Child Abuse Awareness month isn't until April, but it's never a bad idea to raise awareness about our most precious members of society.

The awareness push came about after the death of Zahra Baker and also after three young brothers from Michigan went missing in a bizarre parental kidnapping case. The boys went missing from their Morenci area home in Michigan. Their father, the last to see them alive, is in Ohio in jail after refusing to waive extradition to Michigan. It's not expected that the boys, aged 5, 7, and 9, are not expected to be found alive.

So where can you find the 70's 80's and 90's cartoon characters for your Facebook page? Here are a couple of photos below. You can also do a Google image search as well.

Facebook 80's Cartoon Day Lights Up Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Bright, and Other Past Favorites

Facebook's 80's cartoon day is somewhat of a mystery.  Why are millions of Facebook users searching for Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, and other 80's throwbacks? It's no secret that cartoons from the decade are THE BEST, so the question isn't "why 80's cartoons", it's "why today? what's going on?"

Some "unnamed sources" have said that an unnamed site started the fad to raise awareness about child abuse. However, such predictions are a little odd considering that child abuse prevention month isn't until April.

We think that what went down is that someone decided to change their avatar, messaged all their friends and then what happened was a viral outburst of interest in these cartoons.

We want to hear - which vintage cartoons are your favorite? Are you taking part in this Facebook activity, or are you going to pass?

Alexandra V. Tobias: Baby Killed For Interrupting Facebook Time

Alexandra V. Tobias killed her baby for interrupting her Facebook time. While it's true that people are getting a little too into social networking sites like Twitter, who would have thought that someone would actually KILL their child because they interrupted their time on the site.

Alexandra V. Tobias shook her 3 month old baby, Dylan, after his crying was interrupting her time playing FarmVille. She said she shook him, smoked a cigarette, and shook him again.

Tobias' story is far from the most bizarre. A Korean couple was found guilty after allowing their baby starve to death while they raised a virtual baby together online. Another woman was banned from using computers after she neglected her children and her pets.

Some people should just not be parents.

In all seriousness, don't shake babies. If a baby is getting on your nerves and you really think that your FarmVille time is more important, do yourself a favor and bundle up the baby and take him or her to the nearest emergency room or safe place.
