I wish I could hold my tongue but if this was someone else, someone who had perhaps been in the care system, known to social services or perhaps (for example) a young teenage mum there would be some serious concerns about neglect. It really irks me that people who have a bit of money or an education aren’t treated in the same way. Social inequalities proven in his posts.
I could not agree more with this.
Keeping it factual, look at what we see and what he tells us ;-
Indie is 19 months old.
Joe has repeatedly told us that she has 3 meals a day, no snacks.
Indie’s breakfast today was a few tiny oat pancakes with a couple of strawberries. She ate this in the park. It’s January.
Dinner for Indie was approx 6.30pm, Joe tells us she’s not eaten since lunch.
You see Joe and Rosie have both finished their meals so Indie must have had the bowl in front of her for a while before Joe started filming.
Indie is crying and clearly saying no but Joe persists trying to feed her.
Joe then says she’s having nothing else, she’ll play for an hour and then he’ll give her the bowl of food again. That will make it dinner at 7.30pm. He repeats again that she’s not eaten since lunch. Indie is 19 months old.
Joe says he thinks she hasn’t eaten anything because she saw his toast and wants toast. Indie can not have any toast.
Joe then sits Indie down with a picture book, the first book is food & drink. He asks her where the orange juice is, Indie (who has not eaten since lunch) points to the milk and says milk.
Joe then ask Indie to point to the chocolate, an apple and peas.
We then see Indie back in her high chair, Joe says an hour has passed making it 7.30. I die waves her arms at the sight of the bowl.
Joe comments “let’s see if this proves my theory right”.
Joe says “Come on Indie, come on”.
Indie is playing with the food.
Indie puts some food in her mouth and spits it back out. She clearly does not like it.
How can anyone think this is ok?
