So Mommy can have a video to post on Twitter. Mommy must be sucking down wine while she has the maid videotaping.

It's written all over his face and in each furtive look sideways from behind his little hand.

"Character building" is a term often used by some when they really mean "teach them a lesson" - which all translates into punishment as a training tool.

I see a child being traumatized.

but it's Lara's laughter at that little boy's distress that turns my stomach...the Trump family's apathetic disregard for human suffering is heinous...no one is safe from their callousness...not even their children ....

If this were a normal family, I'd think it was an "oops, got caught in a downpour, lets's get back home fast" clip, but when you know it'll be raining hard because there's a hurricane coming, WTF?

Drivers on the street might not see the little kid and hit him. It's neglect pure and simple.
