dsayers Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I experience ambivalence over this video. It is nice that they're not defining abuse as physical only. On the other hand, it's pretty obvious that that which is in the video is abusive. I'm equally ambivalent about the comments. They're almost all in support of the video and against such an abuser, which is excellent. However, these are likely the same people that will defend those same parents in the abstract. They're unaware of this contradiction, where the line is where they cross from supporting to maligning the parents, and that where the line is in their own mind isn't based on any standard. All that said, I am happy both that it is a step in the right direction and that there are efforts made to raise this awareness.

So I look at his pictures & there's a picture if his son telling his teacher to fuck off. I couldn't stop laughing.
