if I saw a child repeatedly do that to another harmless child, I swear to god I'd bash the little f***er's head against the wall and drop kick him even harder.

That's your opinion, if your style of parenting works for you, great, more power to you. My style works as well for me and my son, its how I was raised, I got in trouble, I got whooped, plain and simple.

While i share your feeling of wanting to vomit after watching th video, please remember that not all daycares are like this one. I believe the social interactions that children recieve at daycare are important to their development. However, if you do decide to put your child in daycare please do an investigation of the daycare. Ask parents coming out of there, look up reviews online, see what the turnover rate of the daycare is (this is important, unhappy workers=unhappy children), there are many things you can do to find a good daycare that you will be comfortable with. All of them arent like this one, but SOME are. Its up to you as a parent to distinguish the good from the bad.
MOTF!
If our kids are in these places and cameras are on site, those cameras ought to be required to have this. See how fast a lot of this crap drops off when anyone could be looking at any time.

I just want to say that I don't send my kids to school but to have any old parent being able to spy on my kid whenever they like doesn't sound very appealing. What if they are a pedo? What if they took a liking to your kid after jerking off over them for days? What if they wanted to then take it further? Sounds like a road to disaster if you ask me.
There is a thin line between privacy and protection.
Also what is to stop some pedo ring learning how to hack into the cameras? It really doesn't bare thinking about...
You know a really great way to avoid all this? Home educate! lol
So what you are saying??? I would want to know.

My bad. I was pretty upset and may have missed some stuff. If thats was his aunt then where the hell are his parents? You should have to apply and pass tests to have children. Some people simply shouldnt reproduce. I know that sucks but thats how i see it.
MOTF!

I believe an extensive evaluation should be done on the mother. And the child. Maybe the state should intervene, but would it damage the little boy even more to be taken from what he knows and to be thrown into a different world where he has no clue whats going on?

That's crossing a not so fine line into actually surrendering our own options to keep our kids safe, in fear of the bogeyman we are only speculating, might exist and among the parents? Parents can sit right at most schools at least a few times.
The thesis of the speech was placing HQ cameras in corners or similar locations to get what anyone can or SHOULD be able to see simply looking through the class room window, walking by. Nothing, but absolutely nothing in that space should ever be of a nature a parent 'can't' see. My wife and I DID walk into a class room to find two teachers menacing our young autistic son into a corner while he was recoiling in fear and crying. (Yes we did document it formally...we aren't always the District's favorite people) Now that isn't speculation. Chester the Molester hiding among parents is. I'll go with getting some benefit from the cameras they ARE putting in as time goes on anyway.
Why shouldn't parents be able to hold them accountable. Or.....I also profiled 4 cases of teachers who went through lengthy trials and were found not guilty. One after less than an hour's deliberation. Lives ruined...and there a camera would have proven innocence and saved their professional lives. I found serious points on both sides...

Your post is utterly lacking in judgment. I don't know what planet you grew up on but here in the real world it's not all lollipops and giggles. Someone else must pay your bills so that you are able to be at home with your kids. Have you ever though that not everyone has that luxury? I wish that i was able to spend every waking moment with my child, but i can't. She has to be fed, have clothes and a roof over her head and, being a single parent, working part time does not cut it. You should be ashamed of yourself for even typing that.
