14 DAY TRIAL // Some people find it weirdly amusing to see a kid swearing and cursing as if it was a truck driver left without beer. A video of a toddler in diapers being encouraged by this kind of adults to expand his awful vocabulary started an outrage around the conditions in which some kids are brought up.
The “cursing toddler” or “the thug cycle” is the newest viral video to spark a nation wide debate as it shows a kid in diapers being taught by two adults, words that even other grown-ups are ashamed to use. The kid is subject to taunting and cursing as well as racist remarks and provocative language.
It is shocking how the two adults, a man and a woman, are teaching him all kinds of words and are provoking him to use that language against them. At a lose of bad terms to say to his two teachers, the toddler gets mad and shoves his middle finger at the camera.
The sickening footage was posted online by Omaha police in order to illustrated the lack of education, or better said, the bad education that some kids receive. The toddler from the video already developed the so called “thug cycle” behavior without having any blame and just because he ended up in a violent, mistreating environment.
Officers from Omaha Police Station had quite the debate related to the posting of the video online, some believing it would be good for the whole world to acknowledge it, but that it could also fracture the relationship between the law enforcement and the African Americans in the city, notes LA Times.
Social Services investigated the case and tracked down the people in the video, taking the child into protective custody and having him as far away as possible, from the two adults teaching him obscenities. Even if no criminal activity had taken place, the toddler and other children were removed from the care of the adults in the video, being considered unsafe for parenting.
The video was called abusive, racist, violent, vulgar, shocking, embarrassing, appalling and many more similar words, being the most searched item on the Internet in the last couple of days. The term outrage doesn't even cover the reaction people had at the sight of the video, that can be found online under the name “Breaking the Thug Cycle.”
