What. the. Fuck?! How can a mother PRY her toddlers hands off of her? Am I just being too judgmental, or was this a selfish act?

Hah! Awesome. Yes, I would have done the same, but then again, I'm kind of an asshole. And I don't have kids.

I say take the kids to a better home now, before something else gets em killed.

Did you guys watch the video? It looks to me that they edited the video in a way to make it a bit more dramatic. The way the lady talks, she was well aware that there were people below them waiting to catch the little girl.

Wait a second...CNN might have edited a video to put an unfair slant on it? Please, say it isn't so! :confused:

Yeah definitely seems like she knew there were people below to catch the girl.

CNN did a crappy edit job on that. The woman held on for as long as possible, long enough for a group of men to gather below them, not just 1 guy as the interview suggests. The group had to beg her to drop the child. Understandably the kid was freaked and clung for dear life, so the mother had to do what I can only imagine as being one of the hardest things she has ever done.

Yeah, she should of just let go and fell with her child. Maybe crushed her? Who knows!
