I needed a waiting time.
The early morning of Friday, the infamous Facebook group UES Mommas, known for its exclusion membership practices and controversies of parenting minors, was suddenly closed by the Metrix Metrix.
The mysterious cancellation immediately caused protests and speculation.
“Good Riddance”, Wednesday Martin, social researcher and author of the best -selling memories “Primates of Park Avenue,” The Post said.
A publication on social networks about its disappearance in the Facebook group Rival Moms of the Upper East Side (sample) quickly caused almost 300 comments, ranging from “My God!” And “so horrible!” to echoes of Martin’s feelings.
First launched in 2011, Ues Mommas was initially a group of neighbors where a couple of thousands of mothers shared recommendations for pediatricians and music classes from mom and me.
“It was a great resource for the things I needed,” Donnnelly, a mother of three of three of the Upper East Side who joined the group in 2012 after the birth of his eldest son, The Post, told The Post.
But as the group grew to have more than 40,000 members, it became a place for heated and political exchanges.
“Despite his protests on the contrary and his insistence that his mission was to” support mothers “, their essence was about keeping out” certain people “and” certain ideas, “Martin said. “Eventually its exclusive essence of” bad girl “became the identity of the group.”
Donnelly, a mother who stays at home whose husband works for the New York Police, struggled to point out a turning point, but recalled tensions around issues such as police officers and a children’s book called “P is for Palestine.”
He also recalled an increasing number of “shame” positions that attacked the raising decisions of others and, especially the behavior of the nannies of strangers in children’s and similar parks.
“Those really went out of control,” he said. “I didn’t feel good.”
The richest members of the group could also seem quite out of contact. Donnelly noticed a thread of comments on how to keep a small child in the cold weather. She suggested layers, just for another mother to intervene with “I only buy my baby puppy socks.”
In 2017, the post reported that two conservative mothers in the group retained the legal advisor after they were called “racist” and supposedly intimidated after disputing the notion of “white privilege” and publishing that the Black Lives Matter movement “has no purpose.”
The women, who were finally expelled from the group, made New Jersey criminal defense lawyer, Yifat Schnur, sent multiple members of the group ceased and withdrawing letters that consider their “defamatory, tortuous, unfair and illegal” behavior.
Three years later, following the murder of George Floyd, the group again exploded in controversial discussions about the race. Some members asked that a black mother be added as a moderator, a movement then Moderator Lindsey Plotnick Berger objected vehemently
“I have no intention of adding administrators at this time. I have worked to try to lead this group in a way that explains what its members want,” Plotnick Berger replied, as reported by the post.
At the end of 2020, author Jane L. Rosen was torn from the group after a representation of a similar group in her novel “Eliza begins a rumor,” according to the reports, was too close to comfort for the group’s moderators.
In 2021, lawyer Tiffany Ma became one of the group’s moderators and won a reputation for strict requirements for new members.
“She was horrible,” he told The Post Malee Sebag, a two -year -old mother and Yorkville resident for a long time. “She overturned to the group.”
MA went so far as to ask the candidates for members of the copies of sonograms and birth certificates. For those who enter paternity through subrogation or adoption, requested legal documents, according to previous reports.
Those at the beginning of their journey to motherhood could also be mom-no-host.
“We require that a heartbeat (se) let out,” according to the reports, Ma wrote in an exchange.
Some members defended the management of the group by MA.
“There is a lot of false information about Tiffany. I have met her. He is not a bad person,” a mother who lives in the Upper East Side told The Post and asked to remain in anonymity. “She asks (to) joining it was a bit too much, but she never did illegal things.”
On Wednesday morning, the publication contacted the goal about the Facebook group that was closing.
A public affairs representative said that Meta had been in error and that the group was quickly restored.
However, a person close to UES Mommas administrators said the closure was actually related to a post target had marked illegal substances or weapons, and that the problem demonstrated the need for the group to have the strict policies for which it has been malignant.
“A rigorous and safe admissions and publications policy is protective of the group,” said the source. “In addition, security measures must be taken, instead of less.”
