Child Abuse

[planet planet]

I'm posting this because it is staged environment/social experiment, but it is really f'd up the way the abuse of the white child is immediately addressed by public bystanders, where the abuse of the black child is ignored.

Not saying that there aren't indiscretions which are appalling, but who knows how much editing went into this. How many takes did it make to get their point across?

I say this as a mandatory reporter who has made DSS reports on both caucasian and african americans.

Cool - what is your experience? Is there any racial difference in report rates or how the same type of issues are handled?

Physician.
No idea.
I do know that DSS in South Carolina is understaffed, underpaid, and are constantly berated for doing a poor job. It was actually a fairly large topic in the last gubernatorial race.

I think there are cultural differences still as to what is considered abuse. See: A. Peterson and M. Vick

I think this thread would get more attention if it had a different title, like "Pizza Sauce."

Yeah there are so many youtube clickbait scams, it's hard to believe any of these kind of videos

My son is at the age now (3.5) where I have to teach him to stop trusting and befriending every random person we come across in the world. Which sucks, because he's a beautifully sweet, kind, outgoing little kid, and I don't want to change that. But if a guy in a trenchcoat came up to him on the playground when I wasn't there and said "hey, I have a puppy in the woods, want to come see it," he'd happily follow. So we have to have a series of confusing and difficult talks.
