I saw nothing wrong with the way the kid was being treated none.

There must be a better way to deal with that kids' hair...

There must be a better way to deal with that kids' hair...
Due to the way my daughter sleeps, she gets the worst mats in her hair. Not the same as this little girl's, but there's no way to get a brush through it without hurting her. We finally told her she could let us brush it (which was a fight similar to the video--at least the first part, I didn't watch the whole thing--minus the cussing) or we would cut it all off. In the end we gave her a really short hair cut that still gets tangles, but they're small enough that she can deal with them herself. With hair like that, I'd just shave it...

Oh my gosh. So much hair was ripped out. If this goes viral, the mother could get in trouble, no?

[Angra Mainyu]

She was being rough with that kid, but the detangling process is painful anyways. My sister whined and ran around like that kid did when she had to get her hair combed through.

So did I. To the point that my hair was cut boy-length.

But this woman has no idea how to brush a kid's hair, and whether intentional or not, she was hurting her repeatedly.

I remember when I was a kid and dad combing our hair in the morning before we went to school and would "accidentally" comb my face too. He did it jokingly just to irritate my siblings and me. Never anything like the video.

[traditional_woman]

I take it some of you didn't hear the way she cussed her out? What about when she was screaming for daddy, and the mom said ''you aint got no 'GD' daddy''. I can't count how many times she threw the ''f'' bomb around at her. There were actually two videos, but they have been removed, the second was of her hitting her w/ the brush. I looked at it twice and she had no rhyme or method to what she was doing, it was like she was intentionally slinging/pulling hair around, she was going in all different directions, and she had a smile on her face. Yea, my daughter may saw a small ow, but i don't comb it to where she's in constant pain and screaming like that. You hold the roots as much as you can. Watch the whole tape.

I couldn't. I agree with you, and with this comment:

This is horrible...For two main reasons:

1. It's child abuse
2. This is teaching the child to hate their own NATURAL hair. Something that many of our people struggle with; self hatred.

There isn't a thing wrong with nappy hair.

[FidelisAdMortem]

People who feel the need to post such videos on youtube, theres something to say about people like that.

[StockMarket77]

Just shave the kid's head and we won't have to worry about this anymore. Then throw the mother in jail for child abuse & voting for Obama.

We raised three girls...and have experienced the whole torrid mess of 'the combing of the hairs.' when they were young. Dear Lord..what an experience. :rolleyes:

However; We never used cuss words...or held our kids down to comb their hair! I mean my god...what in the heck was that woman thinking? Good luck the next time you have to comb out that poor kids head...she's gonna run and hide..and I don't blame her!

One uses de-tanglers...and go slowly so the child isn't in pain or traumatized by the simple act of combing out hair. Granted, my kids have anglo hair...which still tangles fairly badly...but there are ways to deal with it. We made a deal with our girls...you want long hair...it means combing through it..which may be uncomfortable after a nasty bed time rat has wormed it's way into the crown or side of your head.....or...you get it all cut off. All of my girls had waist length hair ...two still do. :whistle:

What really got me...was how the adults were laughing at the episode...almost egging on a more bombastic response from the little girl..and...encouraging her sibling to get in on the action...that made my stomach turn.

Yeah and I think the kid was acting up as well, I could be wrong but that's my impression.....

[sircharliebrown]

Oh that was way over the top. There was no need to brush her hair as hard as she was. I've gone through that with my daughter and there is just no need to brush it like that. And the cussing she did at her kid? What a bitch.

[Tulsa]

buzz cut that mess and it will be manageable.

[Gabby]

Well... I've seen kids put up a fuss like that before their hair was even touched. My son acted like that for the first few hair cuts he got. You could have thought someone was killing him... and that's before one hair was cut on his head.

My youngest sister used to scream when she just saw a comb. She went around with uncombed hair for the first 3 or 4 years of her life. She would not let anyone touch her hair. And she had never been man handled during a combing.. she just hated to have her hair touched.


My take on the tape is that the woman combing the girls hair was wrong to continue combing the hair while the child protested like that. She was rough in her brushing tool. I do wonder how much of the girl's screaming was just the girl acting out and how much was the woman actually hurting the child.

If the girl's hair is so hard to comb they should just cut it short. Nothing justifies allowing a child to scream like that.. cut the hair and let life go on. Of course the child could be like my son too and scream when you try to cut their hair.

As for the cursing... welcome to the rude/crude younger generation. My experience is that a huge percentage of the youth today use words like that as a matter of course. They see nothing wrong with it. My kids even had a school teacher or two them in junior and high school that curse words are only words and don't really mean anything. So using them is ok.

If he cusses, get out your favorite belt and teach him a lesson.

You did not watch the video did you?:wall:

[StockMarket77]

Alright, I'll settle this. Both people are wrong. The mother was abusive, and the child was a brat.

I didn't see anything that justifies the interference of DFS.

My almost 16 year old just thanked me the other day for never cursing around her. She told me she doesn't understand why parents expect their children not to curse, but then curse constantly in front of them. I'm not naive and I'm sure my daughter hasn't always used perfect language when she's not around me, but she at least understands that it is wrong. I've seen her friends interact with their parents and I'm shocked sometimes at the language that goes back and forth - not even language in anger, but just everyday conversations. It seems those kids who are allowed to cuss openly in front of their parents are always the ones that are the "bad" kids......just my observation, anecdotal as it may be.
