Man Swinging Baby by Arms

We are always warned NEVER to pick a baby up by his/her hands, the same thing applies to swinging a baby. The video below is a man swinging his baby to music, as he says it is Aero Gymnastics with his 9-month-old boy. As of right now there has been no news who this man and child is, hopefully they can find out and make sure that poor child is okay. The baby is laughing and waving at the end, but I want everyone to know this is NEVER something one should do with their infant.

I sure hope this isn’t real. This is not only a risk of shaken baby syndrome, but it could put the arm joints out of sockets or tear ligaments. Plus, if you accidentally let go……
This is horrible, I hope justice is served soon!!
Someone has to know who this maniac is and turn him in!! this child is in danger and anyone watching this and knows the lunatic, and not turn him in, will eventually be responsible for the death of a child!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS NOT A FAKE.
I am an expert with graphics, computer animation and special effects.
This is a real baby, the movement while the baby is suspended in the air and being flipped about is all natural. There is no doll or ‘CGI’, so you idiots who know nothing need to stop claiming this to be a fake. It is NOT.
This is a REAL baby in danger. These parents need to be found.
There is nothing remarkable about this video other than the way it appears. There is nothing physically impossible or dangerous (except dropping the child) that he did that could injure the child. Even the swing through at 3:15 is a trick of your own eyes. The father is rotating his own wrists.
In the rest, the father is taking up the child’s momentum with his elbow…. extending until gravity slows the baby, and then keeping the kid in motion, which causes no harm.
Learn some simple physic people.
I agree. I watched this fathers movements with the child very carefully and it seems like to me that this guy is somekind of professional acrobatic.
this makes me sick. And it IS VERY DANGEROUS . I couldn’t even watch it all. This man is a sicko and I hope he rots in hell.
Dear Mike,
Although I think the video can be fake, I believe you need to learn “simple physic”…(and how to spell it as well). Your simple physics doesn’t account for the blood flow to the brain at higher speeds when the father is spinning the baby from the ankles. The whipping action brings the flow rate (Q) in the veins/arteries to staggering levels. You must have failed physics. Medical physics will show this is horribly high pressure on the brain.
If you think you know physics, then follow this: volume flow rate Q = 3.3E-6 m^3/s, area = pi*r^2 m^2, v = Q/area m/s……you fucking idiot.
this video gave me and anxiety attack! Awful!
some people have no right to have kids, this is why would in the world is wrong with people???
Didn’t know what all the fuss was about as a child we were all swung around like a merry-go-round, however, this is no fun ride, the baby is swung 360’s by both arms, one arm, legs for 3 1/2 minutes, disgusting. Hopefully the baby will not have suffered permanent damage that may not be noticed for years to come. This is not funny.
Outrageous as this is, it is minute in comparison to the 4 million babies who are tortured and killed in America every year (millions more across the world) — all in the sacred name of “Choice.” If you are appalled by this man’s actions with his little baby, you must be truly outraged at the millions of women (and men) who deliberately choose to have their innocent babies systematically murdered by doctors. http://iwka.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/partial-birth_abortion.jpg
Yay Steve!!! Abortion fits right in with this video. Way to make the correlation!!!! Go back to church
Circus papa, circus baby, circus genes! This baby will be a acrobat star someday, and all you boocallers will pay to see him fly the trapeze. And he will do the same with his own babies. A tradition of hundreds of years. The baby has a strong neck and can hold himself fine, and the papa knows exactly what he is doing.
**Applauds “Steve is it gay”** Thank you for pointing out the sad reality that ignorant f’in morons are still running around spewing garbage. I was certain they would all follow Jerry Falwell into the 9th circle of hell. Maybe they are waiting around on Fred Phelps and Pat Robertson to take their rightful place in hell. I’m all sad now. What an idiot….
The vid is beyond frightening, might as well hand the kid an Uzi while you’re at it, wont make his death by abuse any worse.
Chr*st Almighty these people shouldnt be allowed to breed.
I hope authorities have been notified.This is clearly a case of child abuse.This should be removed from internet.The father should be imprisoned and/or mandatory counseling
Ha classic, I’ve seen African women carrying their babies, climbing trees and all sorts with the child hanging by their arm or foot.
Alas in these days of over population all people seem more and more concerned with keeping people alive.
I have swung my children and all sorts, including catch and all 3 have grow up to be strong and tough, the kind of tough that will survive a plane crash or car wreck, unlike yours who would probably die from shock the first time the take a proper injury because it happens to the best of us!
I recall when I was small enough to be swung around by my arms… Adults (NOT MY PARENTS), usually babysitting me, would swing me around by my arms AND EITHER SHOULDER WOULD POP OUT OF SOCKET which HAS HINDERED ME MY ENTIRE LIFE WHILE DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT BOYS DO GROWING UP AND STILL SO IN MY ADULT LIFE (IM 27 NOW) i.e. THROWING BASEBALLS, CLIMBING FENCES, WRESTLING, MARTIAL ARTS, EXERCISING, ETC!! IM NOT JUDGING THESE PPL BUT A BIT OF ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO”S STILL LIVING WITH THE OFTEN PAINFUL RESULT OF BEING SWUNG AROUND BY MY ARMS AS A CHILD IS “IT MAY SEEM LIKE HARMLESS FUN TO SWING YOUR CHILD AROUND BY THE ARMS OR WRISTS BUT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS IT CAN HAVE ON THE CHILD FAR OUT WEIGH THE 2 MINUETS OF FUN YOU HAVE DOING IT”
this is the greatest way to exercise your infant! I’ve been doing this practice for the past 11months (my baby is 13 months old) and he is “one of the most well nourished infants” my doctor has ever seen. I think you all are over-reacting and should take in account the fact that you all are too lazy to spend time with your children.
