Rejected petition Make piercing a baby/child’s ears illegal.

Babies and children should not have to go through the pain of having their ears pierced because the parents of that child chose it. It has no health benefits like vaccines do and it is unnecessary harm to a child that could be avoided but yet is seen as socially acceptable. Let’s change this.
