ISPCC overstepping the mark a bit!

questionmark? · 11-05-2011 08:14PM #1

The ISPCC have realised a new video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHb6I0kSiM

I know they are trying to raise awareness but for feck sake I think that they went a bit far. Who the hell wants to see a kid get the crap beat out of him while having dinner?

MagicMarker · 11-05-2011 08:16PM

Good ad, effective.

Little fúcker deserved it though. :pac:

Royal Seahawk · 11-05-2011 08:16PM

The fact that you've posted it here to raise discussion about it here means it's effective.

Nobody wants to see it. That's the point.

Better than them trocaire ads that come on when you're having food, they put me right off what i'm having.

KeithM89_old · 11-05-2011 08:18PM

Itd be better if it was in 3D...

krudler · 11-05-2011 08:18PM

Great ad, very effective

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 11-05-2011 08:19PM

I didnt watch it.......................anyone pick up any good tips?

steddyeddy · 11-05-2011 08:21PM

The amount of ignorance surrounding child abuse in ireland is staggering I bet some people will be watching that in disbelief. People in this country need a video like this in order to cop on to the reality children are facing daily. If kids are saved from loss of childhood following this video then a few people being upset over dinner is something I can live with to be honest.

snollup · 11-05-2011 08:22PM

great ad. great little actor also.

Liamario · 11-05-2011 08:22PM

I think it's a great advert. I think it should be left till after 9 though.

Biggins · 11-05-2011 08:23PM

Considering that there has been an increase of 20,000 calls to Irish Childline last year alone, I'd say its very much needed!

See: http://www.thejournal.ie/childline-received-2300-calls-a-day-last-year-134019-May2011/

The service received more than 830,000 calls in 2010, an increase of 20,000 on the previous year. The number represents almost 2,300 calls a day from children and young people.

why? people should have a idea of what goes on in houses where children are abused, thats probably tame compared to some of the stuff children go through

El Horseboxo · 11-05-2011 08:24PM

Well i'm gonna stop beating my kid now. Can't believe i'm that person in the video. Very effective.

Ya I know but dont you think they went a little bit far!

It needs to be effective but I think they might just make people pissed off at them.

@benwavner yes yes we did pick up tips and are now going out to kick the ****e out of every under 12 out there.

I dont support child beatings except in special circumstances such a young runt playing his phone on the bus or hanging outside a shop smoking and wearing a hoodie!

When the kids are asleep, good thinking batman! Wouldn't want them thinking it's wrong or anything!!

orourkeda · 11-05-2011 08:25PM

Now little johnny, let that be a lesson to you

kfallon · 11-05-2011 08:26PM

God forbid anything would put you off your dinner OP :rolleyes:

Excellent ad imo, the more shocking, the more people can appreciate how badly affected the victims are, the more likely you would make a call on someone else's behalf!

Do you know what physical abuse is? The kind of people pissed of about this video are cretins who have no concept of empathy.

D-Generate · 11-05-2011 08:26PM

To be fair though, that is only one side of the story. The kid might have flushed the car keys down the toilet for all we know.

It's not adults that i'm concerned about, it's children seeing it.

Aldebaran · 11-05-2011 08:31PM

It made it to the front page of Reddit today which goes to show just how much of an impact it's having.

I agree about that part but I do think it needs to be shown. The kid is a great little actor by the way.

The keys can be replaced - the kid can't!

Eric Cartman · 11-05-2011 08:34PM

didnt know they could show that kind of smut on the tv, you normally have to pay some german lads for quality stuff like that

steddyeddy · 11-05-2011 08:34PM

Any one who hits their kid like that needs serious help I hope people seeing this thread and video report and potential cases to the police.

Orando Broom · 11-05-2011 08:35PM

You'd really, really love five minutes with a fella who beats a child like that.

Disciplining a child is one thing but the sadistic cowardly little ****es who inflict their longings on a child like that...

Five minutes...

Aint putting me off my dinner :P

I'm sure my Grandmother would be shocked at it though. I dont think it would be suitable for my 8 year old niece to be watching it either. I know the message needs to be got out there but you need to find the line so that its acceptable and effective at the same time.

Why who's pissed? I'm not. Just pointing the video out and giving an opinion on it.

And who the hell doesn't know what physical abuse is.

that kid is in the new movie hanna! or they just look very very alike!!

This advert is horrible though.. I know its to raise awareness but still.. Some people are just sick..

Freddie59 · 11-05-2011 08:40PM

I've never been a fan of the ISPCC. Too self-righteous and liberal for me and others. But I must applaud this ad. This is exactly the type of violence which needs to be exposed. But I wonder what effect it will have on children in a normal (non-violent) home if they view it?

ISPCC overstepping the mark a bit!
