Video: Is this child abuse or father son bonding?

The progression of terror on this poor little kid’s face is awful.

 

I can’t stand watching little kids cry.  It’s my Kryptonite.  However, I once told my son the groomsman walking down the Aisle with my ex was his new Dad and the reaction was similar.

Hell of a prank though.  I might have cut it off prior to giving the kid a lifetime of anxiety, but I don’t judge.  Plus, this might be some new type of Psychological Ferber Method I’m not aware of.

Wiki: The Ferber method, or Ferberization, is a technique invented by Dr. Richard Ferber to solve infant sleep problems. It involves “baby-training” children to self-soothe by allowing the child to cry for a predetermined amount of time before receiving external comfort.

What do we think?  Child abuse or great prank?

Happy Sunday!
