Mean. Horrible. What a jerk that father is.

Thank god he filmed it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I feel for that kid.

Funny and mean.

I think my kids are immune to that level of scare/violence/fear from video games/TV.

God only knows what the grandparents did to that dad.

It is not every day you get to witness child abuse.

Frankly this guy should be turned over to Child Protective Services. It wasn't like he did something incredibly stupid and then realized what an asshole move he made. NO--this guy abuses his kid, films it (refusing to console his child while he is hysterical), and then posts it on the internet as if psychological abuse of his little boy is a big joke. This sicko should be reported.

Is it just me or do I think the kid over reacted? I mean at that age, even I wasn't that pussy. My dad freaked me out dozens of times at that age and I would just be a bit pissed off later. No big deal.

True but who knows what else this guy does to scare him. The kid might be a little worse for the wear.

What a jerk his dad must be. Terrifies his son and not only laughs but films it as well. Nice guy!!! Should be ashamed.

Yeah, I thought that the kid was a total pussy.

They dad snickering as the son is in hysterics?

Priceless. I hope the mother uses this to get full custody.

Not cool... The father should be rotting in jail somewhere.. And the idiot who posted this video and finds it funny should be locked up. Not cool at all.

just wait until the kid grows up and scares the shit out of his dad with a bin full of fireworks in his room in the middle of the night. hold on a moment...this must be how bam came of age

What a loser for traumatizing his son. Clearly the father has way too much time on his hands and enjoys watching his son cry. Very sick and shouldn't be allowed to have children. He will probably carry this memory with him forever. I hope when he grows up he gets his Dad back!

I love it when the kid hits the computer......lol =)

R U PEOPLE INSANE? Report him? Why? How's that gonna help the kid? I thought it was cruel also, but if you literally believe the guy should be 'reported' you're sicker than the father is. Video tells true story, but only part of it. You can only speculate whether he does other cruel stuff or that's the worst. I don't think it's smart or right...but the American mentality to turn everything over to the authorities (who always do things well?) is crazy.

Other than that, I thought it was funny...but I feel for the sensitive kid. Someone played this joke on me....the exact same one. It scared the shit out of me also.

come on, scaring a child is no child abuse...I'd play this joke on my little brother at anytime

that kid's a pussy, that's why it overreacted

My brother pulled that joke on me and i had just watched The Grudge and so i was pissing myself

come on people, this joke has been on the internet for awhile now, the dad just put it on his computer for a joke and the kid overreacted. anyone who doesnt find it funny is way over sensitive and probably has issuses with their own parents. lighten up!

When I was a child I was scared shitless by an older boy who pretended to cut his finger off with a knife. Was that abuse? Sure. But am I having nightmares and counseling now, at the age of 27? Of course not. Because I can look back and think, "What a fucking jerk!", instead of crying about it.

I think it was hilarious.

Everybody who considers this abuse, needed to be beaten more often as a child. Nothing wrong with Pops trying to toughen up his obviously sheltered son with a practical joke or two. For all we know the 2 love to play jokes on each other, it could be part of their bond.
