Making Kids Cry For Your Political Agenda

  •  July 29, 2006

I’m not sure I’d call this child abuse – a term that, for me, evokes sexual molestation and physical violence – but it is certainly child mistreatment, and it is nothing to be proud of.
Here’s a video of the artwork:


My question is this: What kind of parents let their kids be used in this fashion? I can’t stand seeing my little girl cry. Sometimes she does cry, of course, because she’s mad at me for making her go to bed or making her clean her room…but I can’t imagine making her cry on purpose just for the sake of some candy.
I’m disgusted.

    Brooke: It is definitely child abuse, and further, it is child abuse for partisan political purposes.

    Well that's both the maturity we have come to expect from most leftists and is a perfect representation of what they are: crying babies.

    Sick!

    What kind of parent would do this? The extreme leftist, who would go to any lengths to push their agenda… Think Cindy Sheehan.

    BTW, I'm not saying this is child abuse by any means… But to these kids the hurt they are feeling is genuine. Isn't exploiting that evil?

    I was thinking physical abuse, Robert108, but you are right; this is emotional abuse, definitely… You are completely right about that.

    If this is abuse, emotional or otherwise, then every parent is guilty a thousand times over. Just tonight i made my little boy cry, by taking away the ice-cream bar he had swiped from the freezer 5 minutes before suppertime.

    Getting a 2 year old to cry is no more difficult than getting a liberal to cry "injustice" or a dog to piss on a fire hydrant.

    Move along, there's nothing here but pedestrian artwork. Nothing more at all.

    every parent is guilty a thousand times over.

    You know, just maybe that's what's behind all this crocodile "controversy". Because if this is abuse, and every decent parent is giulty…

    You've got to ask youself, was it abuse of me to take the ice-cream bar from my boy just before dinner? Or would it have been abuse, if i just let him have whatever he wants, whenever he wants it?

    Maybe if these kids were older — and harder to provoke into tears — you might have a case. But getting a 2 year old to cry on camera is no harder than pointing a camera and saying "no".

    Marty, I think the difference here is that this was done outside of the realm of discipline, for purely political exploitation…

    I am NO softie when it comes to my kids, but I would never intentionally make my two year old cry. ( And he DOES cry at the drop of a hat.)

    Clearly, depriving a child of a lollipop is a form of child abuse.

    Please, won't someone think about the children!
