...horrified, upset and sickened. How could this woman hold her three year old down for a tattoo?

Someone I know posted this on fb... I feel sick. I hope she is punished but probably not? Horrible.

That is terrible. Very upsetting

Why would they post it on FB? Why would you click on the link?

Why go looking for trouble online? Let it come and find you.

If anything looks like torture porn online I try very hard not to click on it, the better not to traumatise myself.

If its a real thing and some poor tot is getting tortured, my watching it won't make the tots life any better. It might make my life slightly unhappier. Thus, don't click on links.

It's in Cuba? I have no idea what the tattoo regulations are in Cuba, do you? it is 'shocking' to our culture but wouldnt be shocking to some other tribal cultures who cut

Like greencolorpack said - nothing I can do about another country and its legislation (or lack of) and really there are more important things to get outraged about this week.

Starvation and canibalism of children in Korea springs to mind. (i'll pick a non contentious news link)

read the news, not FB

Sick, sick people. Cuba is one f'ed up place.

Posting the link on here is as bad as posting it on FB

I have had a few mums hold the arms down of screaming babies and toddlers and have been told to face paint them quickly. I always refuse and then they have a go at me.

To a Western adult this seems outrageous. To the toddler concerned it is no different to being held still to have a medical procedure done. To the child this was no different to being held still to be given an injection at the doctor's surgery - your parent holding you still whilst someone else does something to you that hurts. Not that I think this is ok (and I'm not clicking on the link) but just because something is in the child's best interests doesn't make it any less cruel, iyswim.

Just about every article in the Daily Heil Daily Mail is designed to shock and upset you to the extent that you need to buy it / read it online again to see what more terrible news there is.

My parents-in-law (tutting 70/80 year olds) read it and get outraged on a daily basis.

Seriously don't buy it or read it online. You will just make yourself angry or upset and waste half an hour of your precious life doing so.

What strange comments. Just because something is upsetting we shouldn't read it or post about it? If you feel like that, don't read it or ignore posts about it otherwise you are doing the very thing you are posturing about!
