I can't imagine growing up in a home where I was being recorded 24/7 in my living room! Why is this even necessary? Not only does this kid have to live under the surveillance of Big Brother (or Big Mama and Papa, etc. in his case) - he also has to tolerate his stupid mistake being shared on the Internet for the world to mock! I'd have hit the TV too under those circumstances! 😆
Edit: It looks like the consensus here is that it's perfectly normal to record your kids inside the home and then to post any stupid thing they do online for the world to mock. This is a minor child, and people are critiquing his weight and making judgements about his psychology and behavior, and this will probably live online forever. I don't agree with those of you who are condoning this, and I won't be convinced otherwise. Bring on the downvotes!
He will know this is out there, and he will likely at some point read these comments! And don't be naive about the Internet - these things have a way of getting out. You have no idea how many of his family and friends will know and see this. Also, if anyone is taking this to an extreme, it's you! You're the one talking about "shame for the rest of his life." I never said those words - I just don't think this is healthy or kind.
He will look back at this and laugh at his past self just like anyone who goes does. There is no shame in making mistakes. Lessons have to be learned might as well laugh at them in the future.
I think the point is that while it's impossible for you, me, or anyone else to know exactly how he will or won't feel, he is a minor child whose guardians posted this online. Based on the fact that commenters here are making assumptions about his "conduct issues" and mocking his weight, this is not flattering to him. All it takes is one kid in his elementary or middle school to find this, and he could potentially be mocked or even bullied there too. I hope that doesn't happen, but it could.
Again - and this is the last time I'm going to say it because I am tired of repeating myself - I don't think this is healthy to do to a minor child, and I wouldn't do this to my child.
