Yeh well, it should be labelled "What Not To Do With Your Child, A Training Film". I do not believe for an instant it is real.

It is a complete gee up and anyone with an ounce of intelligence would know that. Whether we should be allowed to watch, well we watch worse reality on the news almost nightly.

RB“…and anyone with an ounce of intelligence would know that.”

I think it was real and anyone that disagrees with me is a moron.

G'Day All,
Swinging babies what about the amount of parents that place babies & minors on swing sets should all that stop also.
We talk of child abuse, Well what about a child being dragged across a fence by the grandfather after dragging that child from the mothers arms in such a way to have the child scream to such an extent that a Rotwieller breaks three links of chain trying to get to the grandfather because the Rotwieller considers what is happening to the child is abuse.
Deliberate alienation of a child from his father, the child making himself physically sick crying for his parents. the child while in care the carer charged with an affray & the list goes on.
ICAC finds inappropriate association & maladministration but nothing is done.
The child entering grade 7 doing reading & spelling from grade 2 & maths from grade 3.
I thank you for your time have a good life from Dave

Dave that’s awful, why was he dragging the kid over the fence? Is anyone addressing the issues with education?

Hanging in my playroom I have a swing, some ropes with knots in them and loops for little feet, I have this weird bar type thing with handles at each end. Kids love it and they have very strong grips after their first few weeks here. I’ll send ya photo Dave.

You wouldn’t catch me swinging a baby in some of the ways on that video or for such an extended time, the way he flipped it around by the hands didn’t thrill me. The dude was using his kid to show off and for that I probably would have backhanded him if I could.

But bubbies, toddlers and most children just love being swung around, love it. Giggle their little heads off.

TPP,
As you say most children like to be swung around. Years ago when I was young they had what was called "Monkey Rings" in the parks where you could hold on to these ring & swing around & as kids we would go round until we got giddy & let go.
I don't agree to the extent of swinging a child around like in the video but children do like to be swung.
Adults just don't seem to want to remember what they were like as children
The photos are great & you have a good assortment of toys & games that can keep the children amused.
Don't worry about the old hen(not you) she will keep fleas,termites & other little pests away & I would say the kids would like her also.
No, nobody gives a damn in the depts about my Sons education the magistrate even said he wasn't concerned about his education.
The ex's father did this as DoCS have refused to intervene & admit their mistakes & while they have been carrying on my Son has suffered like in the paper work I sent you the Director-General has a serious literacy problem as he & all before him can't seem to read the difference between Custody & Guardianship.
Thanks have a great life from Dave.

Just a reminder that this thread is not about the merits of swinging babies around. The central issue is whether the police were justified in prosecuting someone for downloading and uploading a video of a child being swung around.

Whether the adult shown in the video is acting rashly, or even unlawfully, is an entirely separate question.
