'Cheesed Challenge' has parents hurling slices of cheese at their kids

I've raised two. I'm not seeing any feigned outrage here. I mean if you can't get angry at people filming themselves throwing crap at babies for fun I think you'd have to be a pretty bloodless individual.
I've seen this all over TikTok, except it's just everyone vs. everyone. Kids throwing at parents, parents at kids, coworkers, etc. 99% of the time it looks either staged or at least half-expected by the targets.
i mean most kids are gonna grow to hate and resent their parents anyway so when you think about it this doesnt change much
My friends did this to me when I was a kid (14) and I still haven't forgiven them. Cheese is fucking disgusting, and it was vile Cheese Whiz.

I wouldn't forgive them.. There's really never a point where throwing food at a child is ever acceptable unless it is obviously a food fight and fun. This whole thing just seems bizarre and cruel.
When someone runs up to you with a slice of cheese in their hand and a phone in the other, there's no surprise.
I'm not shocked. After all, we've had spanking threads before.
I wonder if there's an overlap between the spanking advocates and those who think suddenly slapping a baby in the face with a Kraft single and posting the result on the internet is harmless fun.
I'd actually say this is worse than a tap on a bottom. For one because this is mainly younger babies and toddlers who you would never (or at least shouldn't ever) consider even spanking in any way, at least not a sane decent parent. Two, this is completely and totally unprovoked just for laughs and views and clicks. Three, you are recording it for the world to see your stupid little baby look stupid and shocked and crying over PRANK BRO. I hate this generation of parents, and I'm a father of a 20 month old myself at age 38.
hey, man, this is how these challenges always turn lethal. don't give them any ideas.
Possibly there is a United States bias here. I don't think the authorities would be nearly so blasé as you suggest in Europe, whether about corporal punishment or about humiliating children for entertainment.
The people right above you are saying it's as bad or worse than spanking a child.
I saw one video of this a few days ago. My immediate thought was "why? The kid clearly isnt in on the joke. It's just uncomfortable and weird for them."
This is dumb. Dont use your kids as props.

Clearly animal torture, someone should call the authorities and have that person's cat taken from them.
How will that cat ever trust people, or cheese, again?
What kind of awful human would do that to a poor cat? Don't they know the damage it can do? Just for laughs? Oh Em Gee.
I can see what you're trying to do here, but please don't assume that your views about the use of pets as props in prank YouTube videos are uniformly supported. They're not humans, but using animals as playthings is still disturbing to many if not most reasonable people.
Though I enjoyed that video, I do think it can be a bit mean. I toss things at cats too but usually to play with them. I don't do stuff like put tape on their back and record it for likes on YouTube (and some people actually do this, cats don't respond well to stuff sticking on their back, it can be funny).
And as for babies, well, I don't feel a great urge to prank babies even if they'll forget about it in a day.
Don't think any of these kids will be old enough to remember this and I will totally admit I laughed. Of course if you're repeating it or doing other "pranks" consistently, that's fucked up.

Fucking retards. They're humiliating they're kids for likes and views on social media.
You realise the cat isn't acting? Somebody is pointing a camera at their own pet and fucking with it for laughs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment_of_minors_in_the_United_States#Prevalence
Corporal punishment is most frequent for toddler-age children and continues into children's adolescence. More than a third of parents in the US report using corporal punishment on children less than a year old, often with a slap on the hand.
Trust Reset to be hyperbolic about the negative effects of throwing a cheese slice at a baby. It's obviously stupid, but c'mon.
It's what it says about the parent-child relationship that is so disturbing to me as a parent. This is somebody who depends on you for literally everything, so treating them like a toy for personal entertainment is toe-curlingly bad and sends out very loud warning signs.
Now I'm wondering how many people went out to get sliced cheese specifically for this challenge.
How on earth is that possible? In a million years I wouldn't have thought that. Disgusting.
This seems really stupid...
...but if it gets me videos of people throwing cheese at their cat, I guess I can't complain.
