There was a great deal of focus on Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder as a cause of hyperactivity. inchirieri masini bucuresti

Social attitudes toward children differ around the world, and these attitudes have changed over time. One study has found that children in the United States are coddled and overprotected. link building

So sad to observe the people who have to turn even comedy into a moral debate between liberals and conservatives. I guarantee you that the line between finding this video funny or finding it in poor taste has less to do with your political views and more to do with your social, financial and family classes.

My political views would be labeled as "liberal" and I find this pretty amusing. I remember a game my dad and uncle would play with me when I was a kid: I'd jump up and down on the bed and they'd throw pillows at me and try to knock me off my feet and onto the bed. I'd spin and flop onto the bed and all of us would laugh until we cried. It was absolutely rough-housing, but I was never hurt and it's one of my fondest childhood memories.

If you guys would stop worrying about who's liberal and who's conservative, it might be easier to focus on the common experiences in our lives that make us the same and the subtle differences that also exist that make us unique.

I think anybody with a sibling, especially a brother, would realize that this is just what brothers do (unless you belong to the sort of family where everyone stays in their own room watching TV until food is available). They're playing. Nothing but good, old-fashioned social interaction and bonding, something that isn't nearly common enough. My older brother and I never stopped the horseplay. We were always wrestling each other, or throwing each other around, or just whacking each other with sticks, and yeah, we always came back with a few more bumps and bruises than when we left, but did it traumatize us for life? Not at all. We've got a great relationship, and probably as a result of our experiences with each other, we can take any joke. Is the little one in the video bleeding profusely? Is he crying? Is he on the ground and not moving? No. Is he having fun? Are he and his brother playing together? If he getting right back to his feet, laughing, and getting ready for Round 2? Yes. To all you fearful parents (or maybe just those who lived very sheltered, very lonely childhoods), it's okay. There's nothing wrong with a little fresh air, a little exercise, and a little rough fun. You can peel off the bubblewrap. Kids will be kids and brothers will be brothers. Let them play.

Tip to the commentors who threaten to call the police and refer to this video as cruel abuse:

Stop whining. My cousin was a very hyperactive child and we used to play this EXACT game with her. Kids love it. It's like tag, but more fun. It tires them out quickly, but they don't get hurt. Don't forget, the kid is wearing a helmet in the last one. This is not abuse. I am a Child and Youth Case Worker and have seen real abuse. This is what brothers do. It's fun, nobody gets seriously hurt and it is no more dangerous than most games kids play.

Have some of you not ever tripped and fell? No harm done, right? (other than some scratches and bruised egos) That's tantamount to what happened in this video. Sure the kid was exploited for the pleasure of an immature older child, but that's part of growing up. How many of you are permanently scared from the shit that happened to you as a child? Stuff like that is what molds you to become strong and adaptive as an adult. Seriously. If you ever had a big brother trick you into doing something mildly dangerous you learn some real life lessons, like: a) don't blindly trust everything people say (especially your big brother), and b) you're gonna get hurt in life. To shelter all bad experiences from children hinders their growth into well adjusted adults whom are able to cope w/ stress. I don't think anyone should ever intentionally harm a child at all; and this clearly wasn't the intent of the elder in the video. If it was, you'd see the kid being directed into traffic or something. On top of that, kids are incredibly more resilient than adults. The other day I'm playing w/ my 3 yr. old nephew and he runs (of his own volition) face-first into the corner of the TV. Yeah, he cried for a few minutes, but was back laughing and having fun again shortly thereafter. For some adults I know, if that happened to them it'd be the end of life as they know it and the story of the week to complain about to anyone who'd listen and it would be all blown out of proportion as is what adults tend to do. As it is with some of the comments that I've read. Gain some perspective on what abuse really is. If you think that's abuse, you haven't been abused. That's all I'm trying to say.

That's not right!!

Kids fall down all the freaking time. At least they're making a game out of it.. and the one where the little tyke ran into the building? He was wearing a helmet! If the little kid had gotten injured, then yeah, this wouldn't be funny, but he's laughing, going along with it, and (oh my God) having fun. Seriously, I have a degree in social work with an emphasis in child abuse... this is not child abuse. This is kids playing.

Hahaha someone call Children's Services or something. I felt bad for laughing, but the kids seemed to be okay, so I felt less bad.

Dude, those kids are about 2 years old. You don't make a 2-year-old run full-tilt into a wall.

"cruel" and "abuse". Wow, anyone who said that clearly had a childhood wrapped in bubblewrap and packing foam. These kids are outside enjoying childhood. Part of growing up is discovering boundaries on your own. How does a child learn if all he/she does is sit in front of the computer/TV playing video games and get driven everywhere they want to go? That would be more akin to abuse than this video. Geez people, let kids be kids.

someone literally called this "torture"

get over it. its a few kids having fun. the little one really doesn't look like they're forcing him to do this. he's running around. my older brothers did worse to me and we're all a very close loving family. you are all such pussies. seriously, this is why kids are fat and have no respect for older people these days. they get coddled by their parents, they never do anything physical. their parents buy them toys and video games and all they do is sit in the house and eat candy when they fall down. my brothers used to give me swirlies (where they dip my head in the toilet and flush) and they used to give me wedgies and did stuff like this to me all the time. and i got over it instantly. kids don't hold grudges. ugh, people make me sick

Cruel and unnecessary. Not impressed. I would consider this to be abuse.

lol :-)

I agree, if Hitler had really wanted to insult the world, he should have had the gestapo drop orange tubes onto running people.

that kid is worse than hitler for doing these horrid things

So many many people that support arguments with hyperbolic statements of secondary experiences, or litmus tests of pain and acceptable behavior, applying it to humans whose cognitive faculties are impaired and influenced by those that are, are more in question than those in the video, words are meaningful, so think about what you allow to escape, if it still comes out as a base attempt at a logical argument stop talking, this is not realistically an attempt to promulgate a statement of support for one side or the other, but stop all this stupid trolling, think before you talk on both sides

haha good stuff, i have two brothers and we did this stuff to each other all the time... stop bitching about it

Thats not funny..

Bloody amazing!

that is so cruel!

thats unbelievably cruel

Why is this funny?

Hahaha this is awesome.

IT was obvious the kids wer having fun, they got hurt, but look at that: they did it again. Plus, the brothers had them wear a helmet. It's not like they didn't care about them.

You liberal pansies shutup! You're gonna ruin our country. I hate you. He's just playing with his little brother. That same kid would fight an army of people that wanted to ACTUALLY hurt him. Good vid!

whats funny is some of you say its funny same people as the ones who say they like to stick there penis in babies cause children are things to them if they all died the world would laugh and laugh and laugh

Hahahaha that was badass. To all the people saying this is child abuse: Shut the fuck up :)

The kid is having fun, he's doing it volentaraly obviously. Kids are supposed to run around and do stupid shit, thats part of the joys of childhood.

Get the fuck over it.

It's not abuse. The kid fell..boo-hoo. Abuse would be a beating.

That is what's wrong with people these days, they're are sooooo overprotective. Yeah, it seems horrible what they're doing to the kids, but lets think about this for a moment, as others before me have stated, the kid did it THREE times. If the kid was getting that badly injured you would think he had enough sense to stop or you think the brother would be caring enough to stop himself. Point to, if you've had a sibling then chances are you've either beaten them up or you've gotten beaten up which in some cases is a hell of a lot worse than this. My brother convinced my sister to jump down a flight of stairs because he said Wonder Woman would catch her, in my opinion this can't even touch that. I thought this was funny and sometimes, that's the only way to calm a kid down sometimes nowadays because parents are losing control over their kids, I'm sorry to say it, but they are.

People who think this is child abuse need to see what a REAL abused child can go through.

You are abusing child you are abusing bebbys and childs i am calling the cops i have called the cops you are in troubel!!!

What the hell, I don't care if the kid thinks he's enjoying it, it's a hurtful prank, and not funny. Sorry if that makes me a "stupid bastard."

The kid is not running away seriously, he's running as part of it and laughing. Can you stupid bastards not let a kid enjoy himself? Pain is part of life, and especially part of kids' lives.

not funny. they are little kids getting physically hurt. The ppl having fun are the one's doing the torturing. The older kids are in need of being calmed down.

you guys are lame.
this is funny, the kids aren't hurt, and there are a lot of worse things to do to a kid. lighten up.. they're just messing around.
this is the shit though : D

lol

Back in my day we used to go swimming in rivers and things. This guy's got a helmet for playing with a tube. Lighten up.

Get a sense of humor... Obviously the little kid didn't get hurt because he did it 3 times.

LOL kids are fun :P lighten up ppl kids are durable

To Get a Clue: Christ is not an ignorant bastard. Don't take the Lord's name in vain.

This is hilarious. Reminds me of what my siblings and I used to do all the time. Loads of fun. Seriously.

Are you overprotective shitwads kidding me? You want to hunt down and kill this guy for PLAYING with his little brother? The kid's not hurt beyond a slight bump. That cloth thing around him is thin, but I'll bet he didn't have any bruises at all. Of course the most glaringly obvious fact that this kid wasn't badly hurt and was in fact having a bit of fun is that he VOLUNTEERED. Multiple times! I know if my older siblings offered this to me when I was that young I would be up for it and having fun.

In short, anyone who's pissed because the kid got "hurt" can eat a bowl of dicks.

Funny video no doubt, but this is why guys grow up to be fucked up and make videos of what they went through. Psych 101 Bitch - just look at that shitty backyard.

plus, that last one had a helmet.

OH MY GOD that was SO funny!
the little bitches probably deserved it.
hey, people that look down upon this? I don't blame you for overly caring for these kids, but if you want some little shits to calm down and they don't? just think about it for a while and then replay this...

your a fucking ass hole hay guss what im gunna hunt you fucking ass down and do that to you

what's truely horrible about this is that some of you don't think it's funny. i watched it like 10 times and couldn't stop laughing my ass off!!

o.o if i called the cops, and showed this, ull all go to jail

well it cracks me the hell up.
i think its pretty funny to see how many people have something rude to say though.
dont like it? then dont watch it, duh.

You suck, and should think about shit like this before 1)you do it and 2) before posting your dumbass antics that could hurt an innocent kid on the interweb.
Dumbass. Total dumbass. "cool kid calm down trick" jesus christ - you're an ignorant bastard.

HAHAHA this is gold.
