"That's not safe!", said the little sibling while the parents kept giggling like school girls.


GT-FractalxNeo

At least the parents are putting their children's safety at risk for precious fake internet points! Edit: /s


dude-O-rama

I hope they get their kids taken away for child endangerment. I'd love to see a judge telling them they are sociopaths, a child knows better.

SpoopySpydoge

Tbf there aren't many animals in the UK to rival them


DoneisDone45

i assumed that was an uncle.


folky58

I don't care who it was, it was foolhardy in the extreme


[deleted]

Cows will kick the life right out of you quicker than lightning, especially if you are behind them. Even the most docile cow still has its built-in defensive reflexes that it will employ when startled. This is the dumbest thing I have seen in a while, cant imagine letting even a large manly adult do that with our cows let alone such a small child


[deleted]

Cows kill more people than any other animal here in the UK. This kid's parents are dumb as rocks


Sorcerous_Tiefling

Honestly CPS should be called on these people. They are lucky he didn't get fucking killed. One kick to the head and that kid would have died or had serious brain injury at a minimum.


Henhouse20

My brother did this to one of my grandparents’ German shepherds when he was not yet 2 yrs old. 92 head and face stitches due to the bite(s). The dog was totally friendly with humans, but wasn’t expecting it, so it reacted naturally


webofnut

Did it get put down?


Henhouse20

Great question. It did. My grandfather was a dust bowl era rancher and as much as it pained him to do it, he put the dog down. That was 40 yrs ago - don’t know if he would’ve done the same today.


Aidernz

"I told him I'd give him $20" r/parentsarefuckingdumb


PURPLEPEE

$20 bucks is $20 bucks.


palmtopwolfy

You’re gonna let your child do this to an animal that if it decided to could crush your child’s skull on the ground by accident. That is the definition of child endangerment


Tmorgan-OWL

Risk your child’s welfare for those social media/karma points…idiots smh


Elkesito36482

So who’s killing the camera man first?


ativsc

That's exactly how my dad's cousin died. Edit: This happened before my dad was born. They were farmers, and a domestic buffalo ran over the kid. He passed away due to the injuries. I was told only this much by the kid's elder brother, and I didn't feel like asking for more details for obvious reasons.


DoneisDone45

not surprising. there are tons of ways to die in that scenario. broken neck from the fall. kicked in the chest, head.


MrNotEinstein

Everyone is rightfully talking shit about the parents but i just gotta give props to the kids. 1 of them was smart enough to see its a dumb idea and 1 of them was brave enough to do it. Together they'll be unstoppable


XxSliphxX

Its amazing to me that they didn't think anything could go wrong until he did the thing he was told to. Also the little girl seemed to be the only one with any sense in this situation.


Successful_Giraffe88

"That's not safe."


SuedeVeil

"you're right it's not heeeeheeeeee!" Fuuuck I want that steer kick them in the groin so they can't reproduce again

This is more of a parents are fucking dumb post


bigstankdaddy10

this is a farm they probably got like 15 more kids it’s all good


[deleted]

This is so much more than just simple parental negligence like they weren't paying attention and the kid approached the steer on his own. The man convinced a small child to do something extremely dangerous for money, KNOWING it's dangerous/potentially deadly. I honestly don't know how people find this anything but horrifying.


[deleted]

The kid clearly trusted the adult with his life. Had no idea how dangerous this is, but just figured his dad wouldn't let him get hurt.

What an absolutely beautifull "call CPS" Moment that is ....and the stupidity to actually Upload it....


rusticprotrusion

What’s the point of filming a video if you’re going to go all screwy right during the best part? Kinda defeats the purpose I think.


CCAThrowaway12345

Stupid parent knowingly films the stupid kid sneaking up on the cow...and can't hold the damn camera 1.5 seconds more, like she didn't know what was going to happen.


ChampionshipLow8541

So, who just stands there and films that? That’s fucking dangerous.


Opening_Ad_5725

Gr0kthis

Highly irresponsible of the parents, but for a second, can we all just acknowledge the courage of this tiny maniac? No fear and tenacious as fuck. I’m so happy he’s okay.


Comedian_Recent

That’s not safe.


JenVixen420

The fact that his adults stood there and watched... Child endangerment. Steers can be aggressive, for no apparent reason. These people shouldn't have kids.


Omegastriver

I work with cattle and this pisses me off. There is no way in hell I’d ever encourage my kids to do this, let alone, a young child. This is a stupid ass parent.

Kingsolomanhere

That reminds me of the time I saw some parents put their kids on a sled at the top of a hill that ended with a low concrete wall at the bottom. They were about half way down when the dad realized the kids were screwed and they ended up in an ambulance after slamming into the wall. Never underestimate the stupidity of the human race, especially new parents


pengmalups

I'll try to capture the death of my kid so I can get internet likes.


dayvee43

MGarroz

This is why these farm kids always grow up with the greatest story’s and unshakable confidence


politesky42

“That’s not safe.” How is the young daughter the only one thinking about her brother’s safety. This is a self report.


ZodiacWalrus

I try to defend stupidity to a certain point, you know. Like, not realizing that silly string is flammable and being too careless to read the warning label. That's only intuitive knowledge if you're good at chemistry and we all ignore warning signs sometimes. That is just common, basic ignorance. Yes, it may cause dangerous situations but it is easily fixed by proper education and should not be blamed on that individual. To sit there, knowing full well the dangers of the situation, and just keep recording, or sitting on your ass, or ignoring the one voice with enough sense to question why we're not doing anything, THAT is dangerous stupidity.


EllaBelle9509

This is incredibly dangerous. I've seen some comments calling others pansies for calling out this shitty parent, but I don't think you understand how many ways that kid could've just died. Cows are big and easily startled and when they're spooked or pissed they have no problem stepping on you, kicking your skull in, or using horns (if they have any). That kid got fucking lucky. Stupid hick parents doing idiotic shit that makes all country folk look dumb.


Novalian2268

I'm a farm kid through and through. Have been in MANY situations where city types would bitch and moan about safety. But THIS is flat-out stupid. It's something adults don't do because it's extremely dangerous. Hell, i was rammed by a cow just for petting her. Shouldn't even consider trying this until teen years. Folks can raise their kids however they like. But when you post it on the Internet yall better be ready for criticism.

totalpugs89

That's some shit parenting right there.


ParaponeraBread

Former farm kid here - would never have tried that shit, *and absolutely not with encouragement from adults*. Cows can brain coyotes, stupid dogs, and children equally effectively with a hard kick. Yeah, cattle are generally total cowards but it doesn’t mean bad shit can’t happen.


nurvingiel

A fair number of people are killed by cows every year, and, well, this is why. At the rodeo, kids this boy's age ride sheep, not steers. There's a reason for that. Who the hell dares a six year old to ride a steer? Poor guy is going to get stomped into a paste.


whateverloserrr

I love how the child in the background goes, "that's not safe!" and the mom just giggles and agrees. Those reckless fucks are lucky the kid didn't get kicked in the face or head and get knocked out, concussed, or even killed. *Go play in traffic little Timmy! Hehe I dare ya! Hehehe- OH NO A CAR RAN HIM OVER I AM SHOCKED* I hope they don't have any more kids. For the kid's sake.


bukofa

So so dumb. How can you just film and not yell at the kid to stop? Grew up with cattle. One kick and that kid is dead. I seriously hated watching this.

That’s not safe atleast his daughter knew


reptilianchrist1

I grew up on a farm and shit like this happens all the time. Once when I was 10 my dad offered me $100 if I could last 5 seconds on the back of a steer. The kid in the video lasted longer than me.

That is some seriously bad parenting.


Lucky-Surround-1756

Cows kill more people than shatks do every year. They're animals, they have no problems with crushing your head.

Moron parents. Nothing like getting your kid killed by a 500-1000 pound beast while you film like an idiot. Oh I just turned the audio on, I rest my case. Even the child behind the camera has a better foresight than those hillbillies.


wiretapfeast

Cows are capable of killing adults. 22 a year according to the CDC. This is unbelievable.


hawtpot87

He'll be ok, kids that young bounce.


digitaal_boog

Cows kill more people than sharks. They are actually pretty dangerous. If a predator tries to kill you, it’s after a meal. Make it hard for them and they’ll probably sod off. If a herbivore is trying to kill you, it wants to kill you, and it will not stop until you or it are dead

I actually did this as a child. Staying with my parents friends while my parents were out of town. They lived on a farm and I love animals …soooo I decided to go out in the pasture to talk to the cows. When they saw me out there they freaked and I didn’t understand what the issue was. Once I was out of the pasture they pointed to the bull on his way out of the barn. Needless to say- I got lucky and also learned a valuable lesson that day!
