Rigid .. scared to death .. a natural instinctual reaction

This is appalling & can cause many problems.

I had a babysitter when I was young who used to swing me & lift me & even hung me over a bridge by my hands & arms. By the time I was 17 I needed surgery on both shoulders for chronic dislocations because she overstreched all of the ligaments in my arms by swinging me.
I was to afraid to tell my parents that this was happening.
This has become a lifelong problem for me.
This person should be in jail.

Wow. What a sick monster of a babysitter.

Here's another;

At the bottom of the link, there are other videos, including one where parents toss babies off a 2 story roof into a sheet.

Well I see her pproviding some preliminary streches and lots of support. the childs flexibility is used but he was totally fine in the whole exercise... in fact he looked like he was having fun.. She provided a firm hold, extreme care and look the baby didn't cry... people are making too much of this. She obviously exercised great care, and support in the entire sequence.

End result he is fine. and will come back to stay flexible, and happy.

Looks like a doll to me. Babies that small don't have that kind of head/neck strength. Arms are held out at same bent angle throughout. Anyway, Hope it isn't a real baby.

I'm sorry, but I find this response to be just as sick as the freaking video!

Some of that didn't seem any more dangerous than me throwing my kid up in the air and catching them, although I didn't go so high or as hard as she was.

IDK, not my kid, the kids not hurt, none of my business.

It looks kinda fake-- the baby has a weird red hue and it holds its head too straight for an infant of that size. I would save my energy getting mad over something like that if it can't be proven. There's so much garbage on the net.....
