These photos of a baby in seriously dangerous places are for a very good reason

Laura Holland

A dad from Dublin decided to play a trick on the internet by photoshopping his daughter in different situations which were not appropriate for a baby.

He had her holding knives, hanging from the banisters, climbing a ladder and driving the car. All the images are so well photoshopped that they look completely real.

Along with a series of images he posted to Imgur he said, “Posting the images to Imgur her said, I’ve been photoshopping my kid into marginally dangerous situations. Nothing unbelievable, but enough to make people think “Wait, did he..?”

Speaking about the images, he told Huh Magazine, “I thought it would be fun to worry family by putting someone delicate in precarious situations. Most of the reactions have been positive, with the odd person not getting the joke and commenting I ‘should be shot’.”

But the reason he went to all of the effort, was to raise awareness for a cause close to his heart.

He decided to do the series of images after his daughter Hannah had received bone marrow transplant at just 10 months old. He said:

“She had a very rare immune disorder called HLH and spent 6 months of her first year in hospital, receiving chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, which is the only possible cure. Of 27 million worldwide donors, 3 were deemed suitable, and an anonymous german lady donated. Because we missed out on so much normal stuff of the first year, we take tons of photos now that we’re able to do normal things out of isolation.”

He is hoping that people will sign up to donate bone marrow after seeing this stunt. You can get more information on it here.

Here are some more of the photos.
