He protection instinct towards a baby is something innate. The careful way we have to catch them, to treat them and to cradle them is something that comes out to all of us completely instinctively. There are even those who are afraid to take them in arms for fear of not doing well and causing them some harm.
Therefore we have been horrified watching the images that Kirill Stremousov, a Ukrainian father of a four-month-old baby, has shared on his social networks, where he sees how he shakes his daughter sharply, stating that "It is in perfect harmony with nature".
"I hear your bones explode"
It seems that the video was published by Kirill himself on his Facebook page, and subsequently collected by numerous media outlets in the country. However, we have been unable to find the original publication, so we refer you to The Sun newspaper to watch the video in its entirety, but not before warning that The images can be very hard.
I confess that I could not finish seeing it without feeling chills and tremendous impotence for that baby and what he must feel and suffer with such and dangerous shaking. Not surprisingly, at certain moments of the video the little screech is heard.
According to The Sun newspaper, while holds her daughter's arms and legs, shaking her up and down and circling her head, Kirill states "listen as your bones explode"and adds that your baby"it feels very good"practicing these exercises.
At another time in the video, the father explains to the camera that he works in this way to strengthen his daughter's shoulders and "make them more resistant", while exclaiming excited (after having submitted to several somersaults) that"his blood runs now much faster".
Kirill Stremousov has also explained that his daughter was born at home naturally, that she is not vaccinated and that she does not take medication either. He wants me to live "in harmony with nature", and that is why he practices with her this kind of exercises that, according to him, are part of an" ancestral gymnastics ".
It seems that this video is not an isolated event
Criticisms of his video did not wait, and maybe that's why I decided to remove it from your Facebook page and that's why we haven't found it. In any case, we have found other similar videos that surely will not leave you indifferent.
And it seems that for this father, acrobatics, zarandeos and reckless twists with his baby are common in his day to day and what he likes to show off on social networks. He claims that his daughter is happy with this type of exercise and they are also very healthy and beneficial.
What could be the consequences of shaking a baby like this?
However, even though this father believes that shaking his baby like this is beneficial for his health and emotional well-being, the truth is that it can have serious consequences:
On the one hand, the pull a child's arms the way he does it could cause elbow dislocation, a very painful injury and frequent in children under four years.
But in addition to dislocations in upper and even lower limbs, this type of exercise and juggling with a baby could cause other more serious injuries such as cerebral hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, head trauma or even the death.
All this would be associated with what is known as "shaken baby syndrome" and that is typical of children who are roughly shaken, mistreated or forced to practice this kind of exercises, as we saw in his day with extreme yoga.
