"Baby Cockfight"

[Medusa]

WoW this is Sad & Disgusting.. Now I am asking where is the Parents of the child getting bet up?? I am sure they have heard about this by now.. Oh I would be just beside myself if I knew this had happened to my baby while being babysitted.. Horrifiing!!!!

His father was the one who started it and he videotaped it and put it on You Tube.

Well then who does the other boy belong too?? You mean to tell me that a dad wanted to tape his son being beat up & then filmed it.. Just think what will happen if in years when the child is old enough to watch the video & then Does.. Oh my that could be so devastating..

Absolutely disgusting!!!

Frankly - I just don't get it. The act itself was horrific enough - but what the h3ll could be going thru someone's mind to make them publish it on the internet???? And this certainly is no isolated case. Look at some of the others - schoolyard beatings, teens being lured by friends to their homes for a sleepover, and then one getting the crap beat out of her, the guy in Philly that had his son tape an episode of himself armed with assault rifles and giving instructions on how to kill a cop, etc, etc, etc. It just goes on and on and on.

Sometimes being old sucks - but when I see crap like this - I'm glad I'm not just starting out in this world. Where is all of this going????? Talk about man's inhumanity to man..........

I knew I would be disagreed with. I have a 4 year old, and while violence of any form is not tolerated in our home, on the street, in the school, I still don't think there will be lasting 'damage' done to the toddlers in the video.

My son can't remember falling down the steps on 3 separate occasions, within 1.5 years of each other. (well, once was more of a sliding incident, but, 2 were without question a 'fall'. I can tell you at the time he was shocked, traumatized, injured, scared of the steps, etc. No question. And, seeing me near hysterics was traumatic for him, too. BUT, today, at 4 years plus a few months, he doesn't remember these incidents...he knows they happened, as I use such extreme caution around steps with him, but, he doesn't remember it. And, I probably talked about the incidents a lot!

It is wrong, because the adults are involved, but, from the toddlers perspective, give them 6 months and something else 'traumatic' will fill the space. Just my opinion, and surely, my hope.

I agree with you.

I don't think this one incident will scar him for life.

HOWEVER, if this continues then yes.. h e will be scarred. but not from one incident that he really probably won't remember. he will be frightened for a while and probably a little guarded but like you said... something else will come along and fill that fear with something new. That is if this is an isolated incident and it doesn't happen again.

I too would like to THINK that one episode wouldn't scar him - but the thing is - do we KNOW that it is only one incident. No matter what - ONE incident is ONE TOO MANY and very capable of leaving lasting scars.
