Your Mom's House
Bert Gets Bullied By Lou Reed's Ghost | 2 Bears, 1 Cave
"This is borderline child abuse. Shut the fuck up with your bullshit trying to make it ok for yourself. He's 4. He's not— he didn't show you how to do anything. He fell. He fell. He fell from a high point and he was caught by a rope. You knew the rope was gonna work. The child's life was not in danger. That is true. That is true. He— this is a very safe— there's a lot of checkpoints that go into this. I believe this company is very safe. If you are 18 years old, you should absolutely do it. If you're with your parents and you're 17, 100%. If you're 4 Your parents should do better."
Bert Kreischer strongly criticized a viral video showing a four-year-old setting a world record on a rope swing in Moab, calling it borderline child abuse. While acknowledging the activity was likely safe, he argued the child lacked the developmental capacity for informed consent and accused the father of exploiting his son for social media views and to build a personal brand. Kreischer compared this to a broader trend of fathers pushing their young children into extreme activities and selling coaching programs based on the content.
