No thats just plain stupid. My guys get a bit of rough n tumble but thats just no clever for a lil kid.

I agree, my lads love rough n tumble but at that age there is a high chance of ligament and joint damage etc..... but the kid still looks like he was having fun

that is abuse in my book. Over 3 minutes of being swung like a doll - all that strain and stress on it's little arm sockets! The bloke would have deserved every last drop of stinking baby milk vomit it the wee thing had thrown up on him. The shot at the end was no doubt designed to show us "how much the kid enjoyed it", but all I could see in my mind (especially when he was swinging him by his ankles) was the ad on tv where the kiddie gets swung head first into the book case. Every one is remorseful as hell after the event but where is the consolation when the child's head gets smacked into a wall, door, tv, the floor...... Not to mention that all that excessive swinging - goodness only knows what damage could have been done to the brain by being knocked against the inside of the skull.
Child abuse as far as I'm concerned. Doing it for a few seconds? maybe ok, but extended periods like that is just wrong.
