A petition has gone viral on whether parents should be allowed to pierce their children’s ears.

A PETITION IN the UK has gone viral this week on whether parents should be allowed to pierce their children’s ears.

The controversy started over a Channel 5 show Blinging Up Baby, in which parents dress up their kids in high fashion clothes. Last week’s episode saw a mother get her four-month-old’s ears pierced.

There has also been other controversy over piercing young children’s ears, when Kim Kardashian had her daughter North’s ears pierced as a baby, with people saying she was too young.

We want to know what you think.
