a lot of so-called adults think it is ever so clever and funny to abuse children. my ex’s cousin once did a ‘magic’ trick in which he ended up with some money I had given my daughter. he stuffed it in his pocket and the family laughed. my daughter didn’t (she cried when he wouldn’t give her her money back), and neither did I.
I was pilloried by the family, and he wasn’t allowed in my house again....but the kid got her money back.
btw all progressive democrats
I’ve never understood the “humor” people find in deliberately causing a child distress. I’m not talking about telling a child “no” about something knowing that they’ll be upset to be thwarted; I’m talking about doing things to make yourself and other people laugh. I think it’s cruel and mean-spirited, damaging to the children, and unfortunately in some cases dangerous.
