If you believe it is the right thing, do it regardless of whatever.
If you think protecting your child is the right thing to do, do it at any cost.
If you worry what others will say or feel or think, do not allow these irrelevant thought enter your mind in the first place.
If you let this bother you to the extent that you sacrifice your child so that you can silence others, you commit number one crime as a parent. For me, number one responsibility of a parent should be protecting the child from any possible harm.

As a parent, we often face the choice between pleasing the need of some people while neglecting the need of the child. The extreme case of such parent is Susan Smith of South Carolina who murdered her two children so that she could get married to another man. How stupid and how easy some parents can lose their minds.

The child’s need comes before anything else. Let Hades take care of any whining adults who are too selfish to think of anything else but themselves.
