the father was clearly wrong to subject his daughter to this type of mental trauma. kids that are exposed to these experiences have higher rates of PTSD, lower educational achievement, and higher rates of poverty/drug use/etc. guess what? society has to babysit these people for life, and it's your tax dollars at work. of course, that's secondary to the reckless abuse of a young, frail mind.

i see very little difference between mental and physical abuse of children: but are wrong and if there aren't laws against it, there should be.

exactly!

davey, good job for nutting the fuck up and saying what needed to be said.

I have none of those conditions/problems...where do you get your information from?

the fact that you can't understand the difference between someone saying that there's a higher likelihood of something occurring and someone saying that something will definitely occur kinda points to you possibly fitting in the "lower educational achievement" category.

he stated a correlation, not an absolute truth. you don't have to have any of the conditions/problems in order for others to.

either way, you have some serious issues, whether you'd like to admit it or not. you thought 'faces of death' videos were the greatest videos ever made? yeah... that's totally normal and not fucked up at all.

i could go on, but whatever...

the fact of the matter is that it's bullshit to show this stuff to children... especially if they don't want to see it and are being forced to watch it. it's mental abuse, plain and simple.

some parents need to realize that just because they're filled with rage, fear, and hate doesn't mean that they need to force that seed on to their child.

Which seems to be falling every second anymore.

And so I ask you again sir, what does the moral majority think the minimum age should be for watching these videos? 25? 14? 6.75?

18.

Are you living in the real world?

I suppose, but I reserve "second world" for nations like Malaysia, which still has a lot of poverty in rural areas, but fewer urban poor and less desperation in general.

I do see your point about India/China having more potential than many African nations. While the wealth hasn't really started to trickle down (and, with their population, it may never get very far), at least they have large economies that are capable of generating a good deal of it and providing many jobs.

yeah, but both countries have enormous middle classes. while there are high number of very poor people, there are hundreds of millions who live comfortable middle class lives.

Definitely.

And (maybe only to me) the fact that both have autonomous space programs boosts their standing.

There are better ways to explain to children things like terrorism than to thrust them into it blindly.

Any father that would do that to a 6 year old, epsecially one that is crying and doesn't want to see it, is abusing the child mentally.

Thats part of the problem with people now, they don't want to say anything, its not my place, I'm out of line. People look the other way.
Then years later when the child is found abused, molested, or dead, or goes on a shooting spree, everyone is like "I had no idea", "why didn't someone do something"

There is no magic number. But forcing an afraid and crying child to watch a beheading is wrong.

There are gray areas everywhere, but in a case like this, the father was unquestionably wrong.

As for saying something to the father, there's a saying about what triumphs when good men do nothing. I believe that the OP had a moral responsibility to state his objection, which he reportedly did in a very civilized manner, even leaving without fuss when asked. Good job, OP.

I see some poles in that girl's future. Terrible stuff, and I feel bad for that child.
