Becoming a mouse-clicking hero | Bangkok Post: opinion

THINKBOX

A friend of mine posted a link to a video clip titled "Isn't She an Animal?", and wrote: "Please help share this video clip as much as possible. Get the word out. This mother is evil!"

I could pretty much guess what the content would be _ in this sick world, this is not the first time we hear about little babies being brutally slapped and kicked. I did not have the guts (or a reason, to be precise) to watch it. As a mother, I was more than certain that I would not be able to tolerate watching a little child being hurt.

The next morning, I logged on to my favourite parenting webboard, and there were a pile of posts about this viral clip. Strangely, a lot of comments were along the lines of "I will help post this on my Facebook page to show the world that this woman is heartless!", along with some harsh comments about what they would do to this woman if they ever see her. Yes, sure, solve brutality by being brutal and using hate speech. That just makes a lot of sense now doesn't it?
