My sense of outrage makes it very hard to make this a coherent blog post. Tiger Mom was bad enough, but Eagle Dad leaves me speechless with rage.
A "father" made his four year old run near-naked in the snow, even as the child cried to be rescued from the cold. Then he forced the near-naked child *lie down* on snow.
In what way are the adult's actions NOT sadism and cruelty? Hasn't daddy heard of people, *adults* at that, dying due to cold weather? What if the child contracted pneumonia or some other serious disease?
Why should a four year old be subjected to such cruel and unusual behavior, just because his (I'm assuming) biological father wants him to grow up into "tough" guy?
This happened in New York -- there are passersby in the video; why didn't anyone dial 911? Where were the child protection agencies? Why isn't the adult who did this behind bars?
Shocking and shameful.
