It's best to simply ignore this person. They repeatedly get banned and then come back on under a different screen name and look for threads they can start trouble in and create arguments. Though like most everyone else here I welcome differing opinions, but I don't respect pointless inflamatory naysaying and name calling. While I agree with you completely that a ride in a car is probably more dangerous than this, I also would probably not allow my child to cuddle up with such a large python if it were such a small child. Maybe a much older, and thus larger child, MAYBE, and then there would be more of a balance of size, but this child's bones would snap like toothpicks in a crisis situation. So it's true that this is not a very wise thing to do. But this person that has chosen to begin posting inflamatory posts could have made their point a lot more subtly and a lot less hostile. But don't expect sensible posting from this person anytime soon.





>>How is that child abuse? Obviously someone had to be on the other side of the camera right? Probably an adult. Children playing with large snakes under adult supervision happens quite a bit and is a lot less dangerous than even taking your child for a ride in your car. Is taking a child for a ride in your car child abuse as well? No, its not.

>>

>>If anything that is child endangerment, not child abuse. That being said though there are far more dangerous things that children do everyday with or without adult supervision.....should all of that be considered child endangerment as well? Probably not. Like I said about riding in a car, its more dangerous to that child than laying on the floor with a large snake, is taking a kid for a ride in a car child endangerment?

>>

>>A child playing with a snake under adult supervision is in no way or form child abuse or endangerment, and even more so the people who took those pics should not be reported to anyone. Its people like you who make things harder for all of us who really do nothing wrong. Do you realize that? Reporting them for those pictures would be like someone reporting you for having a large snake and saying that you use it to frighten people when you don't do that. Would you like that? Get a grip man, something tells me you are one of those people who work for child services thats 22 years old, never had or raised a child, and tries to tell others how to take care of their children.

>>

>>Use your head. If nothing else at least label things a little better. If someone hates people with mohawks do you say 'that person is racist against people with mohawks' too?
