(Jason Howerton) An extremely disturbing video showing a mother physically restraining her crying toddler while he is seemingly given a tattoo has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. People across the globe are expressing outrage at the brazen act of what many are calling child abuse.
In the video, the toddler screams in agony as he is held down while one man draws the tattoo with a needle. At one point, the mother appears to say “mire, mire” — Spanish for “look.”
Hardcore dance music can be heard playing in the background for the duration of the video.

I came of age in the 80's, turned 21 in 1982.
Bump to your post!
Besides which we see a fair amount of infections from them.
Yup!
Hiya DJ, how are you?
Hope all is well!!!
I have repeatedly seen Muslim Arab women in stores totally ignore their inconsolably screaming infant.
A half an hour of screaming in Walmart without touching the kid is not unusual.
Glad to hear, I’m well as can be...so nice to see you!!!!
Good to see you too!
Even if the kid wants a tattoo it is still wrong. This is pure child abuse.
Some people thought we weren’t “hard core” enough and dumped tons of sex and raunchy jokes on TV, gangsta rap on the radio and made “depression” a cool thing to have.
I think it’s sometimes referred to as the 90s.
I agree with you. It makes me question their judgement.
Not that many, and none I'd take as a good enough reason.
Reasons for a tattoo:
Some Afghan men were getting tattoos so their body parts could be identified if separated from their bodies due to bomb blasts.
So my poodle can be identified if lost (he gets the tattoo, not me).
And, lastly, if you want to take it with you when you go, get a tattoo.
Those are not reasons to decoratively tattoo a child.
I saw this video on Anderson Cooper’s show. How terrible. That poor child is scarred for life—in more ways than one.
Be that as it may, there are better reasons for circumcision than a decorative tattoo on a child.

Circumcision is a far different issue than this ridiculous tattooing. It is your opinion that the former is worse and more mutilating. When viewed in both a religious and medical view that is not what others conclude.
And no amount of pain relief will make it possible for this child to not carry this horrible marking that will make life miserable for countless years.
“as adults”
Then you apparently haven’t read the current medical research....unless of course you are a pig and like spreading cancer causing diseases t your partner
