I'm pretty sure the fish that swallowed Mario whole in SMB3 was called Big Boss Bass. And ironically used the same sprite as Big Bertha.

My cousin’s son (5) was taken away after he was running down the hall and just so happen to run by my cousin (his dad) as he was turning to walk down the stairs with a basket full of laundry. 5yo fell down a couple of steps before he caught his leg. He went to school with bruises and told the teacher he got them when his dad pushed him down the stairs. That was all it took. Kid was in care for 2 weeks before he was returned. If this guy doesn’t get his kid taken away….

u/Lunafairywolf666 5d ago

Cps always go after poor families who can't fully defend themselves because it's easier cases to close. They avoid real cases because they are more complicated. It's ridiculous

u/socialdeviant620 5d ago

That's why I became a social worker. I've seen how much the system goes after people who don't know how to navigate things. I let all of my people know to call me if they ever get caught up.

Even if you are 100% confident nothing will go wrong, why would you still do this?

What if there’s a shark under the boat you don’t see? Or one rising fast from the deep leaping out of the water?

Child services should see this.

u/L3xusLuth3r 5d ago

What if the kid slips out of your fucking hands!!!???

u/Beneficial_Being_721 5d ago

What if a shark is deep and launches straight up at the tasty little Chum Tea Bag?

Yea…. Dad ain’t thinking about that one

u/StarChild083 5d ago

It’s also extremely easy to dislocate a child’s shoulder this way. Fools all the way around.

u/powerhammerarms 5d ago

Yeah under age 5 this is considered a no-no. Realistically probably nothing will happen but you're definitely taking a risk when you shouldn't

u/WINDMILEYNO 4d ago

Its weird, because people throw them into pools all the time to teach swimming. I wonder if thats abuse disguised as technique, that just happens to work out sometimes

2

u/jkrobinson1979 1d ago

Babies actually take to water very easily. Some will ever paddle around naturally if they are coordinated enough. They associate it with their recent time in the womb. But no one is just yeeting them into pools unattended. You have to have someone in there with them for it to be safe.

u/jkrobinson1979 1d ago

Took me losing 3 of them to finally realize this

54

u/Dependent_Title_1370 5d ago

I've swam with sharks they are generally pretty easy going because they don't recognize humans as food. Given my experience with sharks and what I know of them I still would not fucking do this since there is always a chance for them to behave unexpectedly given that they are wild fucking animals.

I remember seeing on TV too. I was told about it by a vet sailor when I was a kid, among other WWII tidbits of knowledge.

There's also the risk of dropping the kid. I mean, Michael Jackson was excoriated for holding his kid over a balcony for photos.

u/ultranothing 4d ago

As someone who has business contracts with our state DCF, I’d say that that doesn’t matter. They take kids out of wealthy homes also, if their living conditions permit it. You can be both well-off and a shitty parent.

u/exceive 5d ago

Yeah, but that parent will eventually be on land. And stepping on land doesn't suddenly give people common sense.
A bad parent on the water is almost certainly also a bad parent on land.

CPS isn't investigating crimes, they are assessing parenting. This may not be evidence that somebody did a specific crime, this is definitely evidence that somebody is a dangerous parent.

Remove the sharks. This is still dumb. What if something bumps the boat, what if you get an arm cramp? It would be so easy to drop the baby.

u/renb8 4d ago

This is a teaching moment in Australia. When your kid leaves a wet bathroom or kitchen benchtop, dunk them several times in the sharks’ food bowl IE the ocean and use their wee torsos to stir the sea - then remind them that sharks will come and live in wet bathrooms and on wet kitchen benchtops. Bitey sharks. Very bitey sharks.
