On several occasions, both parents tell their son to lie down in the snow, which he does eventually when his mother presses him.

Many in the blogging world have condemned the father (who it was alleged posted the video online, though this is now disputed as his assistant sent the video to several friends and family-members). However, I wonder if more would be done had this been a little girl instead of a little boy? Would social services be involved, would the government get it's hands dirty? Would certain equality-seeking-groups-that-focus-on-only-sex get involved and tell us how this is 'typical' and needs to be condemned more?

Boys are trained to suffer abuse, privation and lack of privacy from a young age just as girls are trained to expect protection, pampering, and total privacy from a young age. What shitty world.

It was recorded in New York, USA... they're Chinese, but the event took place on American soil.

They need to be prosecuted for child abuse then.

Do the parents actually process this as love to a child?

**The Possible Human** · 8th-February-2012

*sigh* The NYC child support folks probably view this as a cultural thing. What a bunch of freaking idiots.

Some parents are just complete imbeciles .................. I mean, Y fronts?? WTF were they thinking the poor child will never live that down ....... seriously though, mum and dad need a damn good flogging.
