bestie this is too much, the child can choke omg

bbmpin:
Do you even know what "child abuse" means?

You cant even classify "pacification" to a certain extent as child abuse

All that "matters" is the intention of the parent, if the Goal of "an action" is "BENEFICIAL" to the child

Such acts irrespective of how extreme they may seem are justified! #To ask is to make obvious ur ignorance

blackteddy:
how many children have u seen that died from force feeding. just asking

ziga:



So, can you tell me why it is discouraged

Sometimes, people have good intentions but are misinformed about the consequences.

How is this different from rubbing cow feces on a wound in order to heal it.

That is why "educated" people should be at the forefront of discouraging these harmful practices and not defending it.

Sometimes, we cause harm to people we love by the things we do to them.

Laveda:

But that was uncalled for.

Making frontpage for the millionth time.

Since all my years growing I've come across this scene plenty of times. No time have I seen a child die from the act, know why? The person always performing it is the child's mother or close relative. I know no close relative or mother who wishes death to their child and would always stay extra careful when performing such action.
Thus this thread complains of a non-issue and shouldn't exist. It's a medieval-looking method which achieves its desired result.


With this answered I hope this is the last time this picture makes frontpage. I've seen it make this forum's hot topic quarterly since the year 2009.

freecocoa:
If you don't know that force feeding a child, is for the sole purpose of getting the child to eat, then you shouldn't be on this thread or even on NL.

Abeg while trying to sound sophisticated or whatever, let's try to use common sense, insulting a mother who only wants her child to eat, is just really shallow.

Btw, so far as we know, no child has died from getting fed like that, turn on your brain before commenting next time, you talk crap a lot and I say that with no intent to disrespect you.

RIP to the deceased. Life goes on. Fatalities can occur no matter how widespread a practice is.
One can not use a single case to paint a picture concerning practices especially when time without number it has shown beneficial than otherwise.

Time without number where?

Why forcefeed a child when there are let's primitive approaches

Unlearned people? Lol....my mum has a PHD! So WTF ur saying again?

WindUpMerchant:
hey! dont get me wrong sir. maybe I shdnt have used the word 'unlearned'. but called them traditional. your mum has a PH.D but im sure she must advanced in age.sort of. My dad has travelled round, got to a pinnacle in his career but still do stuffs I consider old skool. how many of us today even grew up in the village like our parents did? its based on generational beliefs. so Not even a PH.d can change that.
