    I actually found that quite shocking - there's a fine line between scaring someone for a bit of fun and scaring them sh*tless. That kid was obviously very distressed. I wonder what else the poor soul is subjected to in order to entertain his dad. If it had been an adult, then fine no harm done but that was just mean.

    That's ****ing awesome. What a quality idea.

    Perhaps a little on the cruel side... but still, he'll get over it.

    I think I have to agree with Mike and iranu here - considering how scared the kid seemed to be, I think that was a bit too far.

    Thats a tad out of order, cannot believe someone would do that, then film it, and THEN post it on the internet, to their own kid.

    Sounds like something a brother would do rather than a father. Still, I can't say I didn't laugh. :$

    Quite.

    I was furious as hell after seeing that. . Although I've calmed down now and thinking a bit more rationally, I wouldn't do that now... but to be honest, If i'd have been there when he did that, I'd have to try pretty hard to control myself. That's not an exaggeration due to hiding behind the relative safety of the internet, that's a genuine statement.

    By the sounds of it... its his brother told him to do it, not his dad. TBH, i don't think any caring father would subject it on his kid.
    Video was funny, and i remember being scared sh*tless at that one not that long ago, so can kinda sympathise with the poor kid.

    Good brotherly thing to do though. May try it out on my sister when i get home

    I have to admit, while I did laugh initially, my reaction soon turned to shock and anger at that video. The kid was obviously VERY distressed. He was FAR too young to be given such a shock and totally irresponsible of whoever it was doing that to him.
