I am not as offended as the other two posting folks. I find the photo a bit odd but a tad funny. I think they are guilty of bad taste though. I would not post this in a public area.

Not many people would consider doing this to a child, but many a parent would like to have their child stay putt by any means.

If anyone with a child is persuaded to do this simply by this photo, then they shouldn't have a child.

I love kids just as much as the next guy.

The baby in the photo does not look distressed and does not look abused. I think these folks were trying to be funny. Failed.
