I really don’t know what to think. I’ve read all of the opinions on the video and yes I did watch it and I wish I hadn’t. My biggest take was who the
duck would release footage of two distressed young children (one half-clothed) in a private space? Also, how the hell has this become public?
I have to say that the attitude of “it’s not abuse” or “I suffered worse” doesn’t sit right with me. I’m a parent and god I’ve had my moments but (perhaps because of my own childhood) I’ve never raised a finger to my child and have certainly never thrown anything at them.
On reflection, I’ve been a bit too black and white in my thinking about the whole situation - KP Bad/KH good - and I was happy with that, but I will now try to be a little more nuanced. I know we don’t have the before or after for context but in that moment the kids seem scared and unhappy and if that was my child, my fury would have no bounds.
It’s all just made me feel very confused and sad
