Video of parents pouring beer, whiskey into their child's mouth enrages internet
By Coconuts



BANGKOK: -- A couple who posted a video of them pouring beer and whiskey into the mouth of their child were widely criticized on social media last night for their appalling parenting skills.

"Compete with daddy! -- Feeling nonsense." was the caption to the photo of the child drinking from the beer bottle by Facebook user Piranya Penjamras from Songkhla province.

According to Drama-addict, the most popular Thai community on Facebook to discuss social issues, the user’s clip, who it is assumed is the child’s mother, also shows her husband pouring beer from a bottle before handing over a glass of “Lao” or whiskey for the child to drink from.

The video has been removed along with the woman’s Facebook account, but screenshots remain on the internet.

Disgusting. I hope there is a relevant law to have the parents charged with child abuse.

Insane and possibly lethal

Please remove this child from his parents and do it quick!

.. and cut both parents ability to have more children in the future...

Most likely a hoax, it is the web afterall.

I didn't know an inanimate thing like the Internet could get enraged.

I don't think it is an hoax, the video and woman's account on Facebook

have been quickly removed to avoid prosecution.

What a pair of disloyal losers.

Poor kid........someone please get him out of there.

some people should not be allowed to become parents.

sadly in this disfunctional society, no one will rescue this baby.

"Pouring beer into child's mouth" or letting him have a sip? Big difference!

Thai netizens probably outraged because the beer brand was on display

Thailand suddenly became surprised that alcohol is given to babies in Thailand. Just stop pretending like you don`t know (I`m talking to Thais more specifically, but also some farang). Everyone knows babies all around Thailand are being given alcohol like it`s supposed to be funny. No one tries to prevent it, instead everyone is laughing together and cheering. I don`t know how many times I`ve seen it, and criticized it, but it`s been many, but I`ve never seen anyone else having the balls to criticize. Now I see they`re all too coward to even be honest about it.

A child having a sip of Heineken, so what? I'm more enraged by all the blurring and censorship that goes on.

Not a chance, no Thai would do such a thing.

This is the first time I've seen/heard of parents in Thailand giving children alcohol. Are you sure the statement you made above is accurate?

Now, now, don't overreact. A THB 500 fine for showing a non-Thai beer online will be considered just retribution.

Despicable!

Most likely a hoax, it is the web afterall.

most likely not, its the real world afterall !

reality trumps imagination in making humanity look insane !

Next it will be take the kids away and send the parents to prison to await execution......

Have to admit, this is the first time i have seen Thais giving a child a drink from a bottle.

But most certainly not the first time (in Thailand) that i have seen ex-pats doing this for their kids. And i mean ex-pats and not just one person on a one-off event...................

Love the way everyone gets on their high horses when they comment on something like this. It will not kill them (the kids) unless they are force fed until intoxication!

When i was still a baby, my grandmother used to feed me her homemade dandelion wine to get me off to sleep, and apart from the hangovers, it never did me any harm.

Over reaction. Here, hold my beer and i will see if i have any photos.......................

I am expecting a bit of criticism over this post, but the above is true.

maybe it's just a sip of beer. If that's the case then no big deal. Seems many here don't think about situations and they have knee jerk reactions.

Sad... if it's true!

Kid, everyone has to pay their dues to build your 'brand'. Someday, you'll thank me for this. You will totally own TVF, 555

This is after all THAILAND, no Thai parent would do such a thing...................many would say. But then as a mere farang who am I to critise a Thai national for doing something that STUPID, what do I know about Thainess. Nothing but I do know that in most of the CIVILISED WORLD this is illegal and probably unlawful . So Thailand again slips back intop its Thrid world ranking by this BAD DISPLAY OF PARENTING .

Absolutely not the first time, I have seen that!

But with the usual reaction (mai pen rai) and no education about the dangers of alcohol, I am not the least bit surprised!

Why would Thailand be different from any other country in the world. Taking a quote directly from a popular U.S. bumper sticker..."Shit Happens"; and, it happens everywhere in the world.

A child's liver is not developed enough to process hard spirits. It can FOR SURE kill them.

I recall several years ago reading about a case in the US where a couple had given a toddler 2 shots of vodka to make the kid stop crying. It killed the kid.

They both got extremely long prison sentences.

Hell, my wife is almost 42, and 2 shots of hard liquor damn-near kills her!

In midieval times EVERYONE drank beer all the time in urban areas. The reason was that drinking water could kill you, due to germs and bacterias. However, drinking beer was safe, because no harmful or deadly bacterias can live in beer. I am not saying it is healthy, but it certainly was the healthy option in those days.

Haven't seen the video. Are we sure the parents didn't replace the contents with weak tea or something?

Even if they did, (and I hope they did), it would still be a joke performed in bad taste to the extreme, to say the least.

come on.... much better than Calpol....
