well, I said it many times I am not defending the daycare center, but if the parents want to sue, they need to prove damage. That is all
actually you have defended the daycare. but whatever. you have been all over the place here with this story. it has been pointed out to you that they don't have to prove damage. there was a form signed. there is a reason for that form.
now this is not directed at you lily...just my own response to the story. ok? i have signed that form at my son's school. if i saw my own child in a video gone viral and now he's being made fun of on late night tv? yeah...that's not good at all. someone needs to "pay" something. pay what? i don't know. i'm not a judge or a lawyer or the parent in this case so it's not my call to make. and i'm not even saying it should be or has to be money that is paid. i don't know if the parents are even looking to sue. i just know that if that was my child in that video and it went viral because an employee posted it on their snapchat i would be very upset.

what form signed? I didn't see that part, might have missed it.
If so, then yeah, I might have to re-read the article.
This being said, if you think I defended the daycare, then whatever. I never said they did nothing wrong, I said, they probably did nothing illegal.

Lily, I don't think you're reading all the posts in this thread. Daycare centers and schools have forms parents must sign that either allow (or disallow) the school to post videos and photos of their child. It's standard practice dealing with the privacy of children. I posted they do not need to prove damages and when you asked me about that, I provided you with the information. And from the article:
Quote:
The toddler's family said that it is extremely upset and even claims to have signed a waiver with the day care prior to this incident, prohibiting staff from recording any type of photography of Surai.
You seem to be holding firm to a position without having fully read either the article or the thread.
I don't like seeing people in animal costumes even as an adult. I was told the Easter Bunny scared me as a toddler and had me crying. To this day, when I see a person in a mascot animal costume I have the urge to punch them and tell them to just get away. But that video was FUNNY. And another good one is on Youtube, I call it The Easter Gorilla. Someone puts on a gorilla costume while small children are having a backyard egg hunt and t hey freak. Yeah, its a money grab by the parents. Instead of laughing about it, which they will in years to come, they just want to pretend to be offended and cash in.
it's less about the content of the video and more about the 'no photos' contract they signed.
I'm sure they would have been just as upset if the video showed the girl laughing.
the point is NO pictures should have been taken of the child.

in the very first sentence in the OP it is mentioned, as well as in the quote from the article stating that the family had signed the form. the form is mentioned more than a dozen times in this thread.

Yeah, I agree. I also believe the daycare center should enforce their own policy.
This being said, I think the person should be held accountable is the person who videotaped it. If the parents want to sue millions, (not implying they will) well, good luck with that.
I think the daycare should pay for the therapist who is providing the counseling service for the kid (if she has any), and that is about it.
This is sensible. If the parent did not sign a release for pictures, then they cannot legally be taken of the child while at daycare. People have reasons for not wanting their children photographed. It seems to me that there is a possibility of bringing a case against the day care, but not for millions. I agree that paying for counseling for the kid would be minimal. If a parent took this video without the consent or knowledge of the day care center, then the parent may be liable.
Why didn’t Kimmel’s staff contact the family before airing the video?
Probably because Kimmel doesn't care what they think. If he did care he'd at least apologize, but I suspect he just doesn't see the difference between humor and mocking. One is funny, the other is mean spirited.
