Proving yet again that the ability to reproduce has almost nothing to do with the ability to parent, ABC News reports on a video uploaded to YouTube by a father egging his toddlers into fistfights. Take a look at the diaper-set cage match, and despair at the notion that it’s apparently a hot YouTube trend:
I have no trouble with raising boys to be boys, and encouraging physicality rather than attempting to blunt it. However, that’s not the issue here. Dad clearly was the only one enjoying this fight, so much so that he removed the older brother — who has more sense than his father — when he attempted to intervene between his two younger siblings. Only when blood started to flow did the father stop egging on the fight. That wasn’t enough to keep Dad from posting the spectacle onto YouTube, apparently thrilled to have produced such an entertaining clip.
The worst part? He’s not alone in thinking that. I guess the question is whether YouTube encourages people to behave like idiots, or whether it just enables the normal percentage of idiots to be more visible. I’m hoping it’s the latter.

I can not believe my eyes. Cold hearted child abuse. Throw the book at the bastard.

Someone needs to beat the crap out of the father, remove him from ever seeing those kids and then jail in for abuse.
Sickening.

And we wonder why that 8-year shot to death his father and a tenant. Payback?

Oh good! Raising the next generation of society’s problems.
The next playpen will be prison.

It is the latter.
The upside of YouTube, etc., is that it can entice such dhimwits into self-entrapment.

This behavior is mimicking Palestinian and Camp Obama tactics to raise warriors. Do not attempt this at home.

to Done That – sorry you took away from my post that i am a monster father. In no way have i ever, will i ever advocate violence as a means to an end.

When are these stupid idiots going to figure out that every time someone posts videos on YouTube with questionable behavior, they almost always get caught.

Try this one on for size: I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read “My kid got your honor student pregnant”.
What the f@ck is wrong with people?
