aseigworth said:I'll respectfully disagree with you on this HH, I've seen the footage several times from different angles. He NEVER dangled his son in front of a group of Crocs, there was only one, & he didn't dangle him in front of it either, as he answered several times in interviews afterwards, you are raised to avoid the dangers in your backyard, I'm raising my kids the way I was raised, to handle the dangers in mine.
I agree to a certain extent but have to make some additional remarks...
- One croc or 10... it doesn't matter. Placing a child in a situation where they are within 50 yards of a dangerous predator that can run 30mph with no barrier between them is asinine. And now for the apples/oranges comparison of the week: That would be like John Force taking a newborn down the track on a 4-second pass @ 300+mph. Sure - he's a professional driver and bad things usually don't happen - but there are some things that you just shouldn't take chances with.
- You can't teach a newborn to avoid the many dangers life throws at you. Reserve those lessons for when the kid can actually comprehend what you're talking about.
