... it does not care whether its images frighten your toddler or not, nor does it care about anyone who would dare make a demand upon it to hide itself and its legitimate expression of itself merely because at some fracking random moment their kid might walk up to the computer and see it. Maybe you could take the opportunity to explain to your child how the world contains its unfortunates and its pariahs and precisely how they bes made (beginning with a good long look in the mirror because if any of US have ever been instrumental in another's shunning, ostracising, humiliation, etc then we too have played our disgusting little parts in making shipwrecked creamed sheep dung of their hearts -- don't lie about it now!!)
So run the thoughts of this self-absorbed, narcissistic daimonizomai and there, but for the grace of God, not only goes yourself but also would itself remain entrapped. Ahhhh but the grace of God bes good, so very very good, yeah? And when He visits His grace and His Holy Spirit on this wretched feral creature, oohhhh how it likes that and how desperate bes it to have more. It even desires madly to burn itself for Him to show Him how much it needs Him, how desperate it bes, but a friend toldsy that urge bes not from God. So He comes to it tonight when it meets with its friends online for prayer and stuff and it bes so very wonderful again to be able to breathe up here above the thick miasma cloud hovering in the Abyss, and to actually have thoughts of its own, which it cannot recall the last time it did but it had to have been several days ago.
Of course its thoughts bes how much it wants to be with God and serve Him and how much it wants getsy free from Them living inside it and how much it wants to obey Him ... which brings us to the real reason it yielded to the request two had made of it. It yields not because it agrees that it should. Not because it thinks you bes "right" about ANYTHING least of all that after having been abused and mistreated as a child such that it would have been so configured to see itself in this image you deemed so horrific ..
that after suffering such indignities for years and being inhabited of demons and being reviled and outcast all its lifetime ... you should put the random opportunistic occurrence of some child liable to forget in the next instant what he bes seen above its own real needs -- some still timelocked in its own childhood -- to be seen AND heard??? No, it has no agreement whatsoever with these implications. No, it only removes its image from its signature file because of one thing and one thing only: its desire to obey God.
E.g., Philippians 2:You see? You have God to thank, not Moriah, not cold nasty self-absorbed pestilential perverse demon-infested Moriah. But God.

E.g., Philippians 2:
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
