I was only trying to say that this is a wrong message to be sending and posting on the web. And IMO - it does IMPLY cruelty/abuse. I presume that most folks here understand the meaning of IMPLY. No question in my mind that this particular child wasn't harmed, however, being that there are so many copycats out there, it could give them ideas, whether it be done as a "funny", or as punishment (or whatever).

And maybe I missed the concept of "Pet Talk" somewhere in my travels too. Do we really need to be posting things such as this on a pet forum?
Yes, sadly, your point was missed by most.

If you want to see something really scary, google "duct tape baby". There have been other parents who have done this sort of thing and been charged and jailed.

Since this involves duct tape and a baby, it probably belongs in a handyman forum or a parenting one.
