Any parent that asks a child to choose one parent over another should lose custody and only be allowed supervised visitation.
Any child asked to choose should choose the one not making the ultimatum.
Parents who do this care more about hating their spouse than loving their child. Ostracizing a child's parent is child abuse, plain and simple.

Report your parents for spreading kiddy porn.
No.
Really.

I get this is satire....but posting naked pictures of children is illegal, and done by thousands of parents. Get a grip, you might think your baby's little popo is just adorable...sharing photos of it makes you a child abuser.

The belt isn't the answer, it is a tool. The same way physical punishments like Push-Ups are for Military discipline. The same way solitary confinement or hard labor is used as a tool to provide discipline in prison.

I do not subscribe to the notion that non-punitive punishment is effective. Offering Johnny a new game if he doesn't torment his sister is teaching him that being bad is rewarded.

In the case of this incident, the belt was used as a tool to indicate that he had broken the rules and it was reinforced later by grounding.

Conversely, she could have taken the other available option and simply called the police to report her car stolen, which it was. His being her son does not excuse him from a crime of taking a vehicle that does not belong to you. That method would not be considered child abuse according to the guidelines you propose, however it would lead to juvenile charges, exposure to the legal system, and a simmering hatred of his mother that I suggest a simple embarrassing spanking/grounding would not.

Can you take it too far with physical punishment? Absolutely, and then it is most definitely abuse. Beating a child with an improvised switch until the child bleeds is abuse. Spanking them with a belt a few times in public, which adds a humiliation factor to the punishment, is not.

"You mad?"

Evidence of child abuse or just more proof that those who can kick your ass are always right?

?! Well, that seems dumb. I guess I opted out on both screens I use. I thought you just meant when you hover over the channel name the description doesn't appear, and that the channel front page hadn't changed.
Yes, this needs to be addressed one way or the other.

If we're going to have a kids channel only for kid friendly videos, it MUST be enforced or it's child abuse, like pasting porn in a highlights magazine and placing it in a pediatrician's waiting room. If not, it should be removed as a channel imo.

Edit: please don't ignore that the description has been cut and pasted into comments by multiple sifters (tagged with his name so they aren't missed) repeatedly, and manually removed by multiple sifters only to be retagged "kids" repeatedly, so ignorance is not an excuse, it is absolutely done knowingly and intentionally to make a point.

While I'm ecstatic that even (some....enough, but barely) Alabama Republicans appear to have limits to acceptable behaviour from their representatives, it's pretty embarrassing and disheartening that even a gun toting clan prosecuting good old boy only won by <1% against an anti American, anti constitution, anti separation of church and state, serial child abuser, but I've never been a team player.

Truly sad. She is doing her job and following all the rules, but because the detective threw a temper tantrum she gets arrested. This is the equivalent of a parent telling a child they can't have something just because they want it and then the child abusively locking up the parent.

This guy should be fired, there is no excuse for someone with clear mental issues to be in charge of other peoples lives and freedom.

If she had named him Jesus, the pool would be less dangerous, right?

*quality child abuse

It's absolutely child abuse, religion or not.

I would love to see that priest getting manhandled like that. Where's the Terminator when you want him...or an Avatar mech?

The look on mom's face at :28 says it all....'what did we just do to our baby!?!'.

*promote some good old religious love.

Is there someone better educated on the physiological and psychological science of this that can explain why gender transition at that age is not child abuse?

Because from everything I understand about how complicated and frequently fraught with remorse and confusion that issue is for adults....how in the name of fuck can someone that young be mature enough to make that kind of life changing decision? (or indeed have it made for them)

Gender dysphoria is usually only diagnosed in adulthood and usually requires years of psychotherapy and adoption of the desired gender role before any respectable doctor in the UK would allow the transformative process of hormone therapy to begin. (let alone reassignment surgery)

The suicide rate for transitioned people is about 40% I'm told. This appears to mostly be a combination of depression brought on by using the idea of transition to avoid other underlying emotional problems and/or remorse in later years.

None of this is to say people should not transition. There is plenty of evidence to support many a diagnosis of dysphoria and many a success story. But the thing those happy transitions seem to have in common is a very through and mature understanding of themselves.

i.e. things a child is incapable of doing when their mind and personality are still developing.

IDK, the very idea deeply concerns me. Is she actually happy transitioned? Or has she had that idea re-enforced by her parents and such?

I have this hypothetical vision of them panicking at their little boy playing with dolls and tea sets and finding solace in the idea that they are just the wrong gender, instead of being "odd".

I know how silly that sounds, but especially in the south of the USA, gender transition is sometimes considered more socially acceptable than homosexuality and/or being an effeminate male (or so some people in the trans community tell me).

Am I just behind the times on this one? Seems like there would have to be some pretty fucking spectacular medical science to back it up where children that young are concerned...

Most likely this is totally fake, edited to be about the election instead of stealing candy, but if not it's a video of mild child abuse.
I'm with Eric, I see no redeeming factors to make this worth watching.

Cards Against Humanity. The game that made me yell, "Damn it! I played my Child Abuse card too early!"
