  Saving someone from choking is abuse?

    Doing that is causing more harm than good. The logic that lead to recommending such action is derived from the institutionalized and abusive corporal discipline of the time. ‘I beat my kid all the time, this can’t possibly be bad for them. They can take it.’

    It’s like a cartoon where someone is being held upside-down by their ankles and shaken. Also, commentary of the time.

    If you honestly believe in 2024 what is pictured is helping, do not help.

      Letting kids choke to death is the lesser harm here? Aight.

      This is the wildest take I’ve heard in a fuckin’ age. Dude, I never say this, but you in particular need to duck out quickly and touch grass.

      You don’t get to use the language of facts while just warbling your own uninformed opinions on a subject. It’s gross.

      Have you considered googling your bullshit before leaving a comment? Though I’m inclined to think you’re just trolling since you’re comparing a life saving technique to beating your child. Either way, take a break.

      Here we have a great example of being confidently wrong.

      I’ll believe medical professionals, you believe whatever you want to.

        Medical professionals and guidebooks from the present day, not from 74 years ago. At the very least, stay away from my kid.

        What started as a throwaway comment had to become a legitimate PSA.

      My homie, go take a first aid/cpr class. You are wrong for so many reasons, and taking the class would remedy this one tiny section of that.

      And, seriously, go take the damn class, everyone should know how to perform basic care like this, period. It should be taught in schools imo.

  Generally yes, but what’s shown here isn’t, it only looks a bit like it if you ignore the clearly spelled out context.
