Hugh Jackman's Child Goes Airborne

Hugh Jackman's daughter Ava, perhaps growing tired of her father's Super Dad routine, floated just out of his reach yesterday in New York.

Hugh, of course, was able to save her from the evil clutches of zero gravity.

5. I'm reporting him to Child services. This is a grown man tossing his doctor into the air like she's a ragdoll ON TOP OF CONCRETE

6. He needs to be reported to Child Protective Services. If someone doesn't, I gladly will. Here you have grown man throwing this little girl in the air like a ragdoll of some kind, while standing over top of CONCRETE. One missed catch and he could have her brains splattered all over that sidewalk, or worse, cause an intracranial injury. Look at what happened to Natasha Richardson. I'm glad TMZ got this on film as now I have something to forward to CPS. And shame on the rest of you for endorsing this disgusting behavior.

7. Tasteless picture.

Those of you crying fowl for someone throwing a child like that obviously don't have kids.

8. Good one buddy, report it to CPS. He is Jay Cutler (www.jaycutler.com) he can do whatever he wants. Go take in a movie, might I suggest Wolverine. Oh ya and go play in traffic, have a nice day.

9. This is a great moment for daddy and daughter, but TMZ had to make it somehow seem not ok by zooming in!
And those who are freakin out about tossing your child in play and threatening with child services need to chill out.

10. Idiot. Anyone who's not completely un-coordinated could catch something thrown a few inches up in the air. My dad used to do it with my brother and I all the time, and really, it's pretty fun.

I feel sorry for you for your boring childhood.

12. There's not a DAMN thing CUTE about this pic. People that think it is, are the SAME ones that thought Michael Jackson holding HIS kid outside a window was cute, too. They probably felt the SAME way when that STUPID ass animal dude (that got stung by that sting ray) was cute, holding HIS kid in his ONE arm while feeding a large-ass crocodile that was only a FEW feet away from him. I'm glad the sting ray CANCELLED his ass out, it saved the guy's kid.

14. A lot of people toss their kids up like this all the time. I'm sure he knew he was going to catch her, his feet look firmly planted for serious catching, it's not like he's just walking along not concentrating on it. So I wouldn't worry about him dropping her, but I might worry about a neck injury as he's catching her if it's a sudden jolt when she's caught - kind of like whiplash or shaken baby syndrome where the neck gets bent too fast and hard. I've seen parents do this and they kind of follow through with the catch to make it more gentle rather than making it a sudden stop when they catch the kid. Experts will tell you never to toss a small child in the air, especially a baby, but Ava is older, and it's probably a game they play all the time. If I were the child's mother, I'd tell him to never do this, it could jar her neck even though I'm sure she loves it. I think Dads play too rough sometimes and Moms have to be the police of it. It probably won't hurt her a bit though and it's nice to see how involved he is in raising her.

To the poster who said they would report this to CPS - you probably weren't even serious, but in case you were, I'll tell you, they will say this incident is not grounds for an investigation and then after you leave the office they will laugh at you. Although tossing kids in the air is not recommended, lots of good parents do it anyway, the kids love it and no harm is usually done. It's like they don't recommend that you let young kids eat popcorn or have balloons because of the risk, but it's a parent's choice and CPS doesn't investigate you for it. How ridiculous.
