this is really fucking disturbing if you ask me 
also this is why I think all parents should be forced to do hallucinagens before deciding to have kids, so they know what it's like and take their children seriously when they experience things like this.
there's no such thing as monsters, don't be a pussy, etc. try thinking there's no such things as monsters when you're tripping balls. Adults forget what it's like to be young and vulnerable.

I got that maze/prank sent to me the day before someone posted that vid here (like 2 days ago) so I knew exactly what to expect. The kids' reaction made me LMFAO. I had to watch it twice.
The kid will be fine, no harm done.

no harm done? wtf are you talking about?
it's kind of the same principle as you're sitting there playing with toys, and your dad comes home drunk and starts beating you because he's mad.
there's only no harm done if he apologized and had the kid look at the maze again and again until it didn't scare him at all... or maybe he was like "let's go scare mommy" or something after he calmed down.
If there's no harm done he wouldn't have punched the fucking computer. Look into his expressions man, it looks like he was almost mauled by a Tiger. Kids don't differentiate real and unreal when something happens that quick, it just tells them that their life may be in danger.
That's the whole premise of anything surprizing in a scary movie or in these programs, they bypass your rational mind and trigger the fight or flight response.
anything that scares you to the point of tears is going to leave a lasting impression on you. It'd have been one thing (and damn funny) if he just punched it and was like "wtf" and looked scared. Watch it again.

well your right, its traumatizing(spelling?), but he should be okay. I know what your sayin tho, when I was younger I put on this mask and scared this little kid who was like 8 years younger than me, so he was young, not sure what age. He had a WAY hissy fit and I thought he was gonna cry. He was so scared of maskes.
I was young and didnt really think about it. I mean when I was a kid at like age 6 I was watching childs play and freddy krugeur

There's a reason movie ratings are often based on "scary moments:" it is not nice or appropriate to shock kids that young in that way. Prisoner#1, if the kid had started laughing just like your son, that would have been different, but he didn't, he was crying hysterically. Firstly, what is so entertaining about making little kids cry like that? I do not see any pleasure in it. Obviously the kid is extremely scared and unhappy, and it's the stepdad's fault. Where is the humor? Secondly, although I'm sure the kid will not be permanently scarred by some computer prank, he IS going to be needlessly terrorized at night for god knows how many weeks/months. I ask again, what was the point? It wasn't fun for the kid. It shouldn't be fun for the stepdad. That's just sick.

I've watched it several times, enough that it doesn't even make me crack a smile anymore.
If the kid was seriously traumatized, he wouldn't have sat back down at the computer. He'd have gone off somewhere else and been terrified to ever touch the mouse again.
Your analogy of getting a beating from a drunken father for no reason is WAY off base. C'mon, will ya?

That's neat and it has nothing to do with what this video shows. If I scared you and you loved it then that's cool. If I scared you and it freaked you right out to the point of breaking down like that kid did then that's another story.
Not everyone likes that stuff. There are kids that you could do the stuff you do with your son to and they wouldn't feel calmed down for well over an hour after it was over even if you apologized.
Quote:

exactly what I said it would. Adults do not understand that the way children experience the world is RADICALLY different than they do. They watch the mundane become full of life and will gain a great sense of empathy into just why kids care so much about their toys, and can be afraid of things like the "dark" so easily.
Did that not make sense or are you trying to be argumental? Because it makes perfect sense to me so when people question it I'm just not really sure whether they get what I'm saying and they just disagree, or if I'm not saying enough.

Yeah well you sound like a good dad. There are some people that would yell at their kids and tell them to shut up and stop being afraid and only make matters worse.
Some people just don't understand what it is like to be a child, which is why I advocate the use of hallucinogens for prospective parents. Would you like further elaboration? I really am very serious about it.
TripMeister I didn't see him sit back down, I'll watch it again. But if the dad was doing this to be mean I don't see much of a difference. You learn not to trust people very quickly when they random mess with you. Be it physically or psychologically, and it creates constant anxiety while you're around them. It's especially worse for children.

He DOES not go sit back down at all, and watching it again only makes me feel sick man. He was freaked the fuck out. That is damn near how a child would react if you hurt him severely by beating him or doing anything extremely cruel.
When the movie ends it goes back to the beginning clip of him sitting on the computer.

Well there was seemingly more thought put into it than there ever is in your post.
Would you care to elaborate on why you think it is ridiculous? I feel that I have a fairly good connection to my childhood memories and that psychedelic drugs have given me much insight into what I have forgotten as a youth.
I think people at large are absolutely clueless and you do nothing to support your claims. If you don't want to talk about it then don't type anything at all. If you have an opinion then state it.

So you got beat as a child and have bad memories. This is not the same as what you went through, at least I assume you got beat by your various statements. This kid got scared, Im sure over dinner that night they were laughing about it. Get over it, stop trying to be the moral nanny.

The step-father should have some big ass mother fucker come up to him on the street and start yelling at him like he was going to whip his ass. Then, when the step-father gets really scared and pisses himself have the big dude laugh and show him he was just humiliated on video and will be shared on the internet.
I am guessing he won't think it nearly as funny.
Scaring the shit out of kids is only funny if you really don't like kids or have a Napoleonic complex.
I happen to like them at least enough not to traumatize them.
I'm sure the step-father was a scrawny bitch and felt like a real man for making a little boy cry.

hmm I don't know. I would consider that I have good recall and the details are still very vague to me.
Most people don't man, not at all.

nope. I was scared by a computer game though, it wasn't any scary than most other scary things.... but I was heavily traumatized by the shower scene in Psycho and developed a phobia of showers that lasted for a long time.
It brought my friend and I to tears.
I'm not getting over anything. If you simply saw the child reacting that way without understanding what happened all you would know is that something tremendously fucked up happened. I fail to see how people can look into his eyes, hear his cries, and feel anything other than empathy, sadness, or compassion.
I think this little clip is a good sort of test on desensitization.

So, you and your buddy watched this together and neither of you laugh... instead, you both start crying? I'm just making sure I understood that correctly.

yeah, it was pretty scary to us.
The music did it more than anything really.... that movie has a crazy soundtrack.

Man some people are such pussies...I can't believe somene said the kid "completely broke down". The kid is how old? 5-6? He got scared. He cried and ran to his daddy. That's not breaking down. That's what kids do when they're scared. And I'm sure he's been scared worse in his life. For instance, he may have been lost once, or separated from his parents, and felt much more fear than that. Grow some balls. The kid will be fine.

That movie was semi-scary. It really made you cry though? My dad would scare the shit outta me like that, but it didnt "scar" me. Just taught me to be more skeptic and aware of my surroundings.

I cried when I saw "Earnest Scared Stupid" when I was 6 or 7. Fucking freaky monsters let me tell you, gave me nightmares for weeks.

The only movies that scared me when I was young were the Nightmare on Elmstreet vids. But I never cried about them.

well yeah i mean, out of fear.
i'm in many ways what people would consider a pussy.
The thing is I closed my eyes.... you know, I didn't know what was actually up on the screen, so I got to have the benefits of a childlike imagination plus the vivid sounds.
It was at universal studios at this like, behind the scenes show and they did a thing on Hitchcock, I was like "I'm going to watch this" to be brave but as soon as it started it creeped me right the hell out.

to the mind murder is real regardless of simulation.
i do suppose nightmare on elm street would have scared me in many more ways, but Hitchcock had to work with some "limitations" in his day so I mean, he really knew how to pull peoples strings with his stuff.

I watched a crazy interview with Hitchcock for a Motion Picture class once, that guy was amazing.
He said something along the lines of (pardon the misquote)
"You can blow up someone, and scare the audience for a few seconds, or you can show them the bomb, hidden under a table, with people oblivious all around it. Then the audience is involved, then the audience says 'Don't sit there talking, there's a goddamn bomb about to go off!' "

yeah I saw that too I think.
What is really neat is he'd know exactly how EACH little scene would look before he ever shot it...... every minute detail.

yeah, the same reason that nudity isnt acceptable in this country as a whole, some of the 'oral' majority decided to speak out to their close friends the legislators and managed to get laws passed requiring ratings to be placed on films. as a child I was allowed to watch what ever I wanted, my mother didnt shelter me in any way she allowed me to experience life and get into trouble, I got to watch scary movies, nudity and hear cussing, seems she though it a better idea to be there in case I had questions about what I saw
the way I see it, inapproprate ways to shock kids is through the use of electricity or with a hand puppet on your penis, what's sickening is that that 'poor kid' is going to shoot up his school at 17 or grow older and become one of the 'oral' majority that lobbys for bills that require people to register to have sex because he couldnt get laid himself as a teen.
the kid probably deserved what he got, ever seen how a step parent is treated? "you cant boss me around, you arent my dad" "fuck you ass hole, you arent my dad", really though, what it boils down too is the kids mom needs to stop molly coddling him and let him be a normal 10 year old, maybe that little event is what turns his life around and he steps away from the computer and his chubby little ass can see finaly see the light of day. maybe he will make friends and everything.

I just showed it to my 4 year old daughter and the video and she thought it was funny, then wanted to know why that kid was crying like a baby. I don't guess we had any trauma here.
I thought it was hilarious.

I am not trying to be a dick to anyone but if you really think that is going to scar him for life....
But really, what do you think that exact same kid is doing to his freinds now?

I agree that it was fucked up, and I agree that the kid will be fine. The only fucked up part was taping him for so long after he ran away.
"It's rediculous because everyone HAS BEEN a child. How could you possibly not remember what it was like to 5-6 years old or older? "
It isn't as simple as it sounds. The brain is in a completely different stage of development at that young of an age. It isn't as though you can just put these things into place by memory, though you can come up with a pieced together version that fits certain needs... same as most memories. At that age, your brain is physiologically and neurologically drastically different.
I doubt the incident itself will have a profound impact on the kid's life. But if it's a hint as to the kind of crap he gets pulled on him all the time, it might be bad times. On the one hand, the kid seemed fairly confident and normal in the beginning. On the other hand, the dude really did ignore him and continue to video tape the tears rolling down his face. That was kind of sadistic. If it's a regular thing, it'll definitely have a big impact on such an early stage of development.

You make some good points, but it doesn't change the fact this stuff happens ALL the time.
Just watch "America's Funniest Videos" (for which this video would be a good contender).
I bet the kid would be really thrilled to have that video on national TV, especially if he won a few grand or more.
EDIT:
In fact, now that I've mentioned it, maybe THAT'S EXACTLY WHY the stepdad took that video!

Hold up, nudity doesn't make most kids cry hysterically and have nightmares. This isn't a culture issue, it's a scaring-the-shit-out-of-five-year-olds issue. Two separate subjects, thus irrelevant
And then what the fuck's up with the step-parent thing? Not all step-parents are treated like shit, that's a stupid generalization, you can't make up a scenario out of thin air to prove that scaring the shit out of a little kid is okay
Like I said, I'm not trying to argue that this kid was scarred for life, obviously he wasn't; but wtf is funny about terrifying a poor kindergartener? He didn't learn anything useful because of it, except maybe he's more scared of his stepdad now, and how is that good? Yeah, he wasn't beaten or verbally abused or anything but he was needlessly terrorized. I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that to a kid that young; it's totally pointless
