Woman beats toddler? I don't understand.

[Ceruion]

I generally don't get wrapped up in things like this, but can ANYONE give me some context on this video?

I think the context is that the child didn't have proper table manners and hence got what it deserved.

I don't think there's anything that needs to be understood.

Terrible. I got my ass beat with a switch but for nothing as petty as being a fussy eater. This woman needs to be jailed and her child saved.

Edit: Also, the fact this was strategically videotaped implies this is a common thing this bitch does and someone was tired of it and videotaped it.

I'd give her a death sentence. Kicking and abusing a child isn't a mistake, it's a characteristic of being a monster. When I see news of people robbing banks, I understand the intention although it's wrong. Shit like this though? I want to kick that bitch's teeth in.

Here's where I'm lost. If this were an ongoing issue, or if she had shown violent habits in the past. Why is she being allowed to watch children? Is it her child?

The kid probably was a boy and about to rape her so it was justified.

[Keyboard Champion]

Imagine the mother was a white cop.

Typical cis male toddler not checking his privilege. He was clearly projecting his misogynistic ideals on the woman.

My thoughts on this, I share the same thought. Watching that video actually made me feel uneasy, hence my wanting to get other's input on it.

fairly sure it's a girl

Poor kid, at least that videotape is enough evidence to get her sentenced for it.

[Temp name]

That video made my physically sick to watch.. That is absolutely disgusting.

I hope she gets put in jail for a long time for that.

Probably a male apologist then, only way she would be so hateful towards women

Depends on the local laws I think here it can't be used in the court if the evidence was made illegal. (case by case decision though)
Enough to force an investigation sure with medical personal checking the toddler and taking the child away is another issue.

Indeed, in only seven States
(Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom) is evidence
obtained in violation of the right to respect for private life in principle admissible in criminal
proceedings (“group A”). In the ten other States surveyed such evidence normally will not be
admissible (Belgium, Cyprus, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands,Portugal) (“group B”). However, such a division of the States surveyed in two groups would be
misleading, for two reasons.
First, in most cases, there are exceptions to the rule, whether of admissibility or of inadmissibility of
evidence obtained in violation of the right to respect for private life

If no official agent was involved I think it might be useable.

I stopped watching after the first slap.

I'm assuming the parent was suspicious due to the kid acting strangely around or in relation to the babysitter, and decided to (edit: find out) what went on when the parent wasn't around.

Assuming people genuinely wonder why the babysitter is acting in this manner, as you can probably expect, it's likely due to unresolved frustration, anger or mental issues, the kid is just an easy outlet. I'm guessing the babysitter was (severely) abused in some way earlier in life. When you feel excessively threatened (and might even know why) it's easy to take drastic measures to feel safe. A mentally healthy person would argue that the kid isn't any threat to the babysitters safety, and you're right. But there might also be some level of confusion as to whether there is a threat or not, and how big it is, and where it's coming from (PTSD). And as you can imagine, no matter what action they take in the present can resolve the dangers haunting them from the past, so the abuse won't really go away on its own (ergo, repeat offender unless stopped and helped). Basically, it's a sick person we're dealing with, and we help those, not punish.

I think thats more stupid than most sarcastic things said in here. Are you serious about that?

Are you really trying to find apologies for her? That was no reaction out of fear.
Petty revenge with disregards for the health of the child is not a PTSD reaction.

The child threw up because the carekeeper couldn't even make decent food and then got punished for it.

You're arguing that she's not confused? That the little kid is actually a clear danger to her safety? Or that the kid deserves that treatment? I'm not saying that is satirical, but if that's what you believe I'll respect your opinion.

Saying it was a fear reaction on her behalf is stupid and grasping at straws to outsource responsibillity.

Her target was to cause physical pain while not inflicting permanent damage to the child because she had to clean up after it.
To me it seems like the calculating response of an utter cruel person.

I stopped watching after the first slap.

Then you missed out on what really makes this horrible.

She throws it forward hard, landing it face down, beats it with a bat repeatedly on the back, kicks it, steps and balances on it, and more.

I absolutely assure you if anything even remotely like this was taking place at my home I would go to the courts IMMEDIATELY. This is assault against a baby. I doubt there is any place in the world where that is not illegal, but I don't know Ugandan law specifically.

EDIT: Does anybody seriously think she did not mean actual harm to come to the child? The things she did could knock teeth out and cause massive internal bleeding.

The slap at the start is somewhat excusable. Not for what the child did, and she did hit it a bit harder than I would've thought reasonable. I would have fired her for that. What happens afterwards, though, is not excusable AT ALL, and if you think so you must be mental.
