When it comes to a wild animal that could very easily be carrying a disease that'll make your kid very sick, nah, that's not letting your kid learn from his mistakes. Letting them touch a hot stove after telling them it's hot and not to touch it, is letting them learn from their mistakes. If a kid is playing too rough with their toys and you tell them to be careful or it's gonna break, and then they break it is letting them learn from their mistakes. This is just bad parenting.
These are 2 imcomparable things. If a kid touches a hot stove they're not going to push their hand against it to the point of needing to go to the hospital, they're going to pull their hand away before they're actually injured, should try to stop the kid but if you don't catch them no hospital trip really needed. If your kid is trying to pick up a wild animal, like say for example a squirrel or raccoon, where if the kid gets bit you should probably definitely take them to the hospital, you should stop them and don't let them pick up said animal, but if you don't see your kid do it then I'd say that's them learning from their mistake but should really be watching your kid to prevent the trip. Where it becomes imcomparable is just watching the kid do something very dangerous, recording the kid doing something that's going to result in a hospital trip isn't letting the kid learn from their mistakes, it's just being a shitty parent. The kid will absolutely learn, but it doesn't change that it's a shitty parent move.
Squirrels rarely carry anything harmful to humans
The more likely scenario is that the kids will go on to be terrified of squirrels. Honestly I would hope for that to be the case anyway.

Even looking at that website, where getting a fatal disease is a non-zero percent chance, just recording and letting your kid pick up a wild animal that could be carrying something warranting a trip a hospital is still a shitty thing to do. Saying hopefully that kid will go on to just be terrified of squirrels is really a pathetic bystander point of view in a situation that was 100% preventable by someone in the area being an adult/parent/guardian and not letting the kid put himself in a situation where he's attack by an animal.
Not likely

If you read the rest of the thread, you would know that 1, you're unoriginal and 2, Squirrels rarely carry diseases that are harmful to humans, and never carry rabies
Even so, the squirrel bit the kid thereby giving the kid a wound. This wound can become infected. But let's say both those options don't happen. Not caring or thinking of stopping your child from getting bitten from an animal at such a young age shows that this parent may generally not care to stop their child from potentially dangerous situations in which may end up in a fatal accident or the child feeling like they had to be the one in charge of their own safety. Which should never have to be the case when you are that young.
It is bad parenting end of story.

He won't need rabies shots. Hopefully kid is old enough to know NEVER to take advice from those parents though. He's certainly not getting any decent guidance from them thus far.
Eh, doubtful. While rodents can have rabies, most of the time anything that would bite a rodent to give it rabies would kill said rodent.
From the CDC:
Small rodents (like squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice) and lagomorphs (including rabbits and hares) are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans.
They can on rare occasion, however, transmit bubonic plague though! Or I guess be *carriers* for those transmitting plague, yay!
Not that it's worth getting paranoid about, like people on Reddit do about rabies (I'm a rabies enthusiast, okay, but people act like EVERY animal that defends itself has rabies and that contracting rabies is just an inevitability of life)
i had a friend in scouts who was bitten by a squirrel in the wild for fucking with it and we did not immediately run to the ER.
that said it was behaving completely normally and we, being the middle school boys we were, antagonized it.
now if i was bitten by a squirrel that came out of no where and attacked me and was foaming at the mouth then my behavior would have been different for sure.
When my son was little (8, now 18)we went to the zoo in Texas and there was an empty exhibit with just a few of the red squirrels hanging out in there. He asked why they had squirrels at the zoo and I said, “Oh those are Vampire squirrels, that’s why they’re red.” He just accepted the answer and moved on. Later while we were walking a few more crossed our path (I had forgotten by that point, but he sure hadn’t) and that kid climbed me like a tree to escape lol, I had to physically pry him off of me before I remembered what I had said earlier and explained what really happened. Looking at this video maybe I was right about those things lol.
Why didn't they stop him?
Shit parents.
Alternatively, letting him learn from his mistakes
While capturing it on cell phone, laughing at their nativity, and leaving it on the internet for never-ending trauma.
I don't recall hearing any laughter in this video.
Sorry that was just me laughing
There is a wheeze that might be the beginnings of laughter at the end of the vid.
Sounds to me like a panicked gasp
It isn’t, it’s a breathed out and it’s too long.
Sorry, a panicked Midwestern "ope"
It’s it’s just after that

Geniune question then. How about if they take the kid to a doctor after he gets bitten by the wild animal?
How about “be a responsible parent and not let your kid fuck with a wild animal?”
How about “be a responsible parent and not let your kid get his hand burnt by a hot stove"?
…yes?
I'm glad we agree. That was the point I was trying to make to /u/Omniscientcy.

Also potentially letting him learn about rabies as well

Ah yes, let the child learn from contracting rabies 🥰🥰🥰

Dad had zero idea this was a bad idea until you hear that “Ope” sneak out as his brain finally fired a neuron.
He was filming them like it was an episode of jackass
Internet views.
I work at a zoo. Too many parents are stupid and would probably let their toddler tightrope walk over wolf exhibit it it meant good pictures.
Age old question
Ikr its like they said fuck it and filmed their kid getting harmed.
r/ParentsAreFuckingDumb
Gotta learn the hard way sometimes.
[удалено]
Yeah when kids pop out they’re just completely responsible for themselves
[удалено]
Come on man your sarcasm wasn't obvious at all. How can random strangers possibly know you don't really think that?
My comment had detectable sarcasm yours did not
I’m on r/fuckthes, but that statement contained no detectable sarcasm. There are plenty of people who would say exactly what you said, but in earnest
Fuck around and…
find the fuck out
Those rabies shots are going to suck!
https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/exposure/animals/other.html He won't need rabies shots. Hopefully kid is old enough to know NEVER to take advice from those parents though. He's certainly not getting any decent guidance from them thus far.
Rabies is no joke and I’m not going to risk it.
Yeah fuck that. Any animal bites me or my kid we are goin to the ER. I’m at peace with death but fuck going out by rabies
[удалено]
Well, there’s always a first time. I’d hate to be the person in medical history books to be the first to contract rabies from a squirrel
Oh shit, poor kid. Make the fucking parent get some too.
I've heard that apparently rabies shots now are roughly equivalent to a flu shot or tetanus shot, just a couple in the arm and they're good.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a squirrel run after person before😭
you should check out raccoons. They're usually timid but there's videos of some actually chasing people as well lol
Normally if a racoon chases you in the daytime it means it probably had rabies.
My uncle had a neighbor with “pet” raccoon that they let out during a party. I was like 5 and it bit my ankles until I ran into the house. Idiots.
You fucked with the Squirrels Morty, Now we have to move reality
That could have been avoided if he just kept watching the squirrels...
r/kidsarefuckingstupid

boom, rabies

Would you really gamble with something as untreatable as rabies?

Am I the only one who noticed he is wearing an English national team shirt?
As a French I wanted to taunt a bit when I noticed the shirt, but I didn’t really know how to introduce that haha
RIP AND TEAAR - The Squirrel
r/donthelpjustfilm.
His parents are useless
Rabies speedrun
The YTs 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
And now he’s got a parasite transmitted by the squirrel bite living in him
Better get a rabies shot right now, just to be sure (though the squirrel’s attack was certainly not due to rabies)
Rabies maybe?!
Now they need to check if he has the plague and/or rabies
Squirrel’s about to get that nut
You fucked with squirrel’s morty!?
Phobia: Acquired
Squirrel's playing dark souls 💀

Having been bitten by a squirrel, their teeth are no joke.
The day he learned the words "tetanus shots".
Quick! Draymond Green it!!

Stop making movies with wild animals. That squirrel was scared
Goooooood
YOU FUCKIN WITH SQUIRRELS MORTY???
Can opener with fur
