What kind of parenting is this?
September 22, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Quite a lot of debate has followed revelations that two young boys were cage fighting with an audience of alcohol drinking adults and sexily dressed young women parading around the cage between rounds.
Here is how it has been reported in the Daily Mirror newspaper:-

So, what's your opinion?
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Child abuse.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

That's abuse and a fair amount of that.

At a bare minimum, to have your child act in a play or film, one has to go through a metric shit ton of legal hoops, child welfare laws and contracts galore.

Somehow, I think this entire venture runs afoul of that.

As wrong as it is, at least they aren't doing full proper MMA... It does seem that they are only wrestling.

Although, their parents should be reasonably ashamed...

A coworker pointed out that there is little difference (in the actual "fighting") between this and middle school wrestling.

However, I note that this is a media venture that adds in the additional component of a much different audience than you'd get at a child's wrestling match. For one thing, the latter is usually attended by relatives and leaves little avenue for video exploitation.

This, on the other hand, is purposefully built to produce such. Which makes sense, as they've an audience to attract and keep.

The question is, why should this be allowed while child actors must be protected?

Inconsistency is poison to the Law.

Yeah, that is why I didn't go about things with an over the top disgusted attitude...

Lots of MA can be viewed as championing thuggery, instead of the other side of the coin which is self confidence and controlled restrain.

Interesting! Where can I puts some money down on The Bone Breaker kid?!?!



Just kidding people. It's messed up, if not for anything else, the fact that they are training their boys to be aggressive thugs who deal with life's problems by beating up other people.
