2. That is a very dangerous thing to do! Swinging kids and throwing them up and done can cause silent brain injuries and bleeds!

3. That essentially has the same impact on a child's brain as Shaken Baby Syndrome. I think a little more education to this daddy would be nice..

4. I can't believe he would do that, that's is so dangerous! This is a good way to dislocate his legs. hopefully he'll realize that he did wrong and won't do this again!

5. Gee, more typical TMZ comment whining. What a shock. "Whaaaa... him and his kids are having fun and he's doing something that millions of good parents do all the time... swinging his kid around him. Whaaa."

6. Wow are you serious first of all the kid is a bit too big for shaken baby syndrom although it can happen up to 5 years old its highly unlikely through playing in this nature unless blunt trauma happens. The way people cry about this crap is stupid get a life.

9. you should not swing children by their feet. All the blood rushes to the head. Why not use the hands for a short swing. Pretty irresponsible of this man.

10. You people mentioning Shaken Baby Syndrome are morons. It can happen if you throw around a 5 month old in this manner, NOT a 5 year old. Every child I know, and did know growing up, plays(ed) this game. Parents grab your feet and swing you around for about 10 seconds at a time. (Not like it's 10 minutes..now 10 min straight of that could cause an adult to have problems). But it's 10 seconds. Then you are put down. It's fun. And I'm sure Little Beckham there is having a blast.

Clearly only I, and 2 other people who have commented so far, are intelligent enough to separate the situations of playing a game which will NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE, and abusing your children.
I hate uneducated people so much.

11. OMG! Give it up people! As long as this isn't done for an extended period of time, the kid will be fine!! I bet people/parents everywhere do this all the time. What happened to being rough and goofing off....??? We did that all the time when we were kids and nothing ever happened to us! I don't know WTF is up with the people of this world today...you can't protect young ones from every damn thing, they're gonna get hurt, see things they shouldn't, hear bad stuff....get the f$#k over it!!!

12. Those other commenters (the ones who think this is wrong) I hope they never have children. They'll be those over protective parents who don't even let you have fun in the house. The kids have padded rooms and can't colour a picture because they might eat the crayon and get lead poisoning (because this is clearly how out of date their health information is lol). I feel so sorry for parents who live in fear and won't let their kids be kids. It's one thing to protect them from harm and keep them safe, it's another thing to not let them do ANYTHING except sit in front of the TV and rot their brains. But "safe" parents are always just "lazy" parents who want an excuse for their laziness so they call it "protecting" the children. Their kids will grow up to be lard-@ sses who never do anything except play vids and watch tv.
