My question is, "what was a 10-year old boy doing with a teddy bear in the first place?" Don't most boys that age play with action figures & the like?

Yeah, 10 year old boy with a teddy bear... something not quite right there. But the fact that his parents would actually still play the pick-up game with him.... something REALLY not right there.

Why would a 10 year old has a teddy bear?

More importantly what kind of brow-beaten parents would try and retrieve it?

came here to say this,

/Maybe he throw a younger siblings teddy bear off a cliff?

Sure, this kid isn't going to grow up with a distorted sense of entitlement.

Had this been me doing this to my parents, I can say with 100% accuracy that "mommy and daddy run down a wet hillside to rescue my toy after I threw a tantrum and made a blatant gesture of contempt" is the absolute LAST FARKING THING ON EARTH they would have done.

I think I can safely say that my mom would have smacked me across the face and then thrown me down the hillside herself to go get it. The grounding/loss of privileges meted out by my dad would have been a minimum of one month.

And this kid's parents decided to go after poor widdle teddy themselves.

...

Seriously, I can't begin to comprehend that.

Kid kinda sounds autistic, though I suspect that is just excess coddling of the child giving that impression.

GAT_00: Kid kinda sounds autistic, though I suspect that is just excess coddling of the child giving that impression.

Even if it was autistic, a farking toy isn't worth risking your life. If the kid pitches too much of a fit just give it some benadryl.

Saw it on the news. After I saw it I said this " What a spoiled waste of reproduction. What's even stupider is that he is such a mommies boy-mommy had to go get the teddy bear he threw from his tantrum. NO SYMPATHY. NONE. SHOULD NOT EVEN BE NEWS!"

Kid wanted his Busy Bee.

GAT_00 BTW he is not autistic. He is a MOMMIES BOY.

Why do I just want to throw this kid off the cliff to retrieve the stupid thing? Is that wrong?

Maybe autistic, maybe not. We don't know, so it's an irrelevant argument. But holy mother of God, those are some dumbass parents. I've known parents who instill a robust sense of entitlement in their children, but going off a cliff for a teddy bear? Maybe the parents were trying to escape the tyrannical rule of their 10-year-old.

Not even going to touch the "10-year-old with a teddy bear" thing. This is because I'm 22 years old and...may or may not sleep with a teddy bear. I do not, however, take it everywhere with me, nor would I hurl it off a cliff.

Okay, am I the only one who carries rappelling gear in his trunk?

Given the circumstances, I'd leave the bear to rot. But I've been known to risk serious injury retrieving something one of my kids accidentally dropped. I just think that's what a dad does, ya know?

Maybe his parents are crazy and this was his one chance to finally get rid of the bear they make him drag around everywhere.

i would of left the teddy bear there. duhhhh.

Was the kid's name "Damian?"

/dnrtfa

i believe the family is Indan, dot, not feathers.
did anyone else notice that the incline was very doable, even wet?
the father kept falling down with a rope on him and two firefighters helping him..
god help us...

I had a teddy bear when I was ten, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies. However, I only kept it around for the sheer novelty of having owned something for that long without destroying it, and had I tossed it off an embankment in a fit of pique, my mother would have said something like, "Nice arm, dumbass."

"If you're on a cliff, and your son tosses his teddy bear over the edge, let it go. Because man, it's gone."

rackrent: Was the kid's name "Damian?"

/dnrtfa

His name was Soski.

Anyway, if it were my kid, I would have said "looks like teddy bear is gone forever; that's why we don't throw things when we're mad." and I would have left. It may seem mean, but I think that kids need less coddling and need to learn life's lessons.

A 10-year-old boy named Soski...

// Parents are retarded,
hahahahah muddy butts

since everyone else asked, and didn't give any possible explanations, I will: What is a 10-year old boy doing with a teddy bear in the first place?

Possible reasons:

a) autistic
b) retarded
c) arrested development
d) stupid farked up parents, who should have been left hanging off the side of the hillside to be pecked to death by crows

"I hate you!" *toss*

"I WANT MY TEDDY BEAR BACK!"

"Tough shiat."

Is America out of rocket scientists?

Check the video.

He's a mincey little mong with the mindset of a four year old. How this kid made it to ten, I don't know, but spoiling him wasn't a good idea.

Parents....
Should have been left on the hill.

Child...
should now learn how to make his way in the world.

End of thread.

/challenge it!

//I dares you!!

I don't know, but I guess I just feel terribly sorry for both of them, really. Seems like both sides have serious issues.

That_Bob_Guy: Okay, am I the only one who carries rappelling gear in his trunk?

I respect that kind of readiness. You never know when you're gonna need to rappel.

Bathia_Mapes: My question is, "what was a 10-year old boy doing with a teddy bear in the first place?" Don't most boys that age play with action figures & the like?

Furthermore, you also have a 10 year old pitchin' a fit like a 2-3 year old. That kid needs to grow the fark up!

I tried to give these people the benefit of the doubt.

First thing I thought: "Well, maybe it was an accident..."
Article Headline starts with "Temper Tantrum."

borg mentions: "Maybe he throw a younger siblings teddy bear off a cliff?"
Boy quoted in article: "I threw my teddy bear"

Just toss 'em all off the cliff and leave 'em.

"And that is why we don't throw toys off cliffs."

Are they the same parents that bought a new car because the ash tray was full??

"No." is a complete sentence.

Learn it you useless "parents".

Dahne: That_Bob_Guy: Okay, am I the only one who carries rappelling gear in his trunk?

And yet, I don't carry condoms. Like anyone would sleep with me, anyway, but I'm just sayin'.

Ummm, I believe I said thread over. Why are you still posting?
Are you retarded?

/jezus!
//farking retards!
///hey! Get a load of these slashies

On a side note,

My brother was an AVID pot smoker. He had a son.

I asked: "what happens if your boy grows up and turns you in?"

He didn't skip a beat.

I am convinced he had already formulated a contingency.

He said:
"Well, I guess the two of us will have to go hunting."

/// will use this anecdote often on Fark.

Pooh Bear and Eeyore are dead, son. You killed them. It's your fault. Now get back in the car.

The kid isn't all that dumb, he now has a new teddy bear and got to see his dumb parents humiliated on live tv! A 10 year old's dream! He even makes his mother ride in the back seat, when his little chums in school the tomorrow see it he will be king of the playground, at least for a day!

As God as my witness, I thought Helicopter Parents could fly...

and in our enlightened society this kid won't get the ass whuppen he really really needs and deserves

It had better be the Hippo that farts on NCIS

There was a point in time when there were no railings or warnings on anything.

an⋅ti⋅dote
/ˈæntɪˌdoʊt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [an-ti-doht] Show IPA Pronunciation
noun, verb, -dot⋅ed, -dot⋅ing.
-noun
1. a medicine or other remedy for counteracting the effects of poison

via dictionary.com

So anti- means "against". Obviously "dote" means poison. When you are "doting" on your kids you are poisoning them. When you spoil your kids they will eventually rot like all spoiled things.

Understand this!

Go ahead DAD. Go pluck up Pooh Bear from HERE

fanbladesaresharp: Go ahead DAD. Go pluck up Pooh Bear from HERE

I could do that.

Sure, I'd be wrapped around a support cable, screaming like a pussy, but as long as the rescue copter made it I could totally do that.

When my friend's 3-year-old disposes of something during a tantrum in such a way that the item is no longer viable (such as food onto a dirty floor), my friend informs the child that "uh oh, it's gone" (or dirty or whatever) "you can't have it anymore now".

Child cries, but the lesson is getting through slowly but surely.

If one of my kids EVER pulled a stunt like this, I'd beat their farking azz right there on the side of the road. And no, I would not try to retrieve said toy, they'd be SOL.


Stealthdozer: As God as my witness, I thought Helicopter Parents could fly...

This comment made me LOL.

In the world of my childhood, that would've earned the kid about eight licks with the belt on his bare backside. Perhaps such a thing should have been applied a little more liberally prior to this point in life and he wouldn't have had his little temper tantrum. What a brat.
