If you can't view this.. I couldn't find the story ~ but the video is on CNN.

This guy (who is a soldier) is videotaping two toddlers and him and his toddler daughter are encouraging one little boy to pound on the other, push him down, slap him... the little boy is crying and is clearly very upset and scared. At one point an older brother tries to comfort the one being hit and is PULLED OFF him by the father to allow the fight to continue...

WTH????

I have no words for this....NONE.... the cries of this child are heartbreaking and to see his brother see him in need of help and be DENIED in helping him is just as horrible.

You know I watched this like an hour ago and I cannot seem to get the visions out of my head.... I have two little girls who like to bicker but there is NO way in HELL I could ever encourage one of my kids to beat up on the other... or anyone for that matter. We have a nice list of rules for the kids who come to our house... and go figure; no hitting, no pushing, no fighting are all on it!!!

who is filming and who took the brother out of the frame, was someone else video taping, the mom or the other father or a friend? the brother had more sense then the adults, how disturbing :rose:

I could not watch more than a couple seconds of this.. and I can not even stomach a 'father' not only watching this happen but egging it on and cheering. Great behavior and morals to instill in your children there sparky.

I hope he is prosecuted to the full extent.. I hope he is dishonorably discharged from the military.. and I hope he gets 'beat' on if he spends any sort of time behind bars.

:cuss: Because I can not say here what I would really like to say.
