Facebook does about-face on advertisement for sick infant
DURHAM , N.C. -- The father of a sick infant says the Facebook social media website has changed its mind and will allow an advertisement to raise money for his baby after all.
Hudson Bond was born on July 18. A week later his parents found out he needed a new heart.
Father Kevin Bond told ABC11 the family turned to Facebook to raise awareness and money for medical costs, but the social media giant said a picture of the infant was too graphic.

But Wednesday, Hudson's dad received a personal phone call from Facebook. The company apologized for rejecting the Hudson's Heart ad, blaming their automated system which accidentally flagged Hudson's photo. Facebook is offering $10,000 in ad credits to the family.

The family also has a donor website to cover the child's mounting medical bills.
