lifting one up by their head?

[Nocturnal]

you know how in movies you see someone lift up their son/daughter by their heads with their two hands on each side of the head. is it possible that you could break someones neck by doing this? my little cousin came to me and i was gonna lift him up but i didnt want to break his neck so i stopped. i never really thought about it.

I've done it to people and had it done to me and so far I havent died. It probably is possible to seriously injure someone by doing that though.

You cant "break" their neck, but you can cause "dislocation" which can be worse. My dad used to do that but I would hold his hands as he did it, so he was really picking my up by my hands.

I did it to my younger brother on a few occasions but looking back it looks like a potentially catastrophic thing to do, so I can't recommend it

it depends on the weight of the person
my bro used to lift me up by the head like that and i didn't hurt one bit, now that i'm heavier it would probably break my neck

What, nobody told you?? You are dead and in heaven. That's right, heaven consists of little more than posting here in ATOT. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.
