Is this really a question?

Lurker Girl said...

Hells to the NO

Pen-a-lope said...

Just no!!

Lurker Girl said...

Babies are quick little bastards...my kid would have flown over the side of the cliff in a heartbeat

sandybrook said...

I wouldn't even put myself there

MeanieRhysie said...

So wrong, wrong, wrong. My heart is in my throat just looking at that!

MISCH said...

Are you crazy ?

Kaye said...

idiots

The Real Dragon said...

Im just upset there is no one surrounding the baby.

Karen said...

I don't think that the ledge is as steep as the picture makes it seem, but I wouldn't risk it.

AKM said...

Dear God, no.

MeanieRhysie said...

They're freaking CRAZY to leave that baby like that!

D Brown said...

It depends. Unsafe for babies, safe for Kadashians.

Seven of Eleven said...

Just to give you an idea, here is the other side of that cliff.

Great parenting!

MeanieRhysie said...

Omg, omg, omg!

Kno Won said...

Perspective is everything. We can't tell from this pic if there's a person out of sight on the other side of what appears to be a dangerous ledge. If there's not a person there, FUCK NO!
Wait...who's taking the pic?

Lady Heisenberg said...

Holy shit.

Kno Won said...

Seven, you just made me want to skip lunch. My heart's now obstructing my throat.
Thanks(?)

All Lace no Leather said...

So many thing can happen.... Wind, loud noise scares the baby or distracts the parents. I wouldn't even carry my baby out there. What if you tripped?

Jordan T said...

Wtf is this??? Brain damage

Seven of Eleven said...

I know, right?!

The photo was taken by a hiker, who later released it to the press and said he was horrified. (Of course, he also said he was going to warn the parents but decided not to.) I showed it to my SO (a photographer who is familiar with Pulpit Rock) and said, "Check out the new winners of the Darwin Parenting Award!"

Seven of Eleven said...

Oops, forgot to link to the story:

Photographer Stunned by Family Placing Baby on a Cliff Edge in Norway

Sea Hag said...

NFW.

Gralismom said...

I'm coming out I of lurking to say: WTF?

And, the scariest part of this- there are four adults contributing their collective brains to this asinine decision.

rolotomassi said...

Good!!! Parent Shame Them! now everyone knows! I like this hiker & m/b this'll give other idiots pause of trying to capture these Kodak moments for their holiday cards

Unknown said...

AHHHHHH

My hands are sweating just looking at this


WTF


KSam said...

Holy crap...I'm horrified by that...I have nightmares about my kids falling off things like that!

rolotomassi said...

Welcome Gralismom!!! you being a mom I cant blame you for not being able to sit quietly :)

Count Jerkula said...

If the baby fell off the edge, then it would have been a good thing. Stupid people shouldn't reproduce.

Lady Heisenberg said...

I know riiiiiiiight?! Welcome @Gralismom

CoBe said...

Yes. But I don't have a baby.

discoflux said...

They'd probably just make another one, Count. Stupid people never have fertility issues.

Unknown said...

Just NO!! I am having a panic attack just looking at this picture.

I am also deathly afraid of heights!

Unknown said...

Good job! Wonder what they're excuse would've been should the child had fallen?

"Oops I was taking a selfie?"

Jason Blue Eyes said...

That baby's not even a foot from the edge. They could have rolled right over it in a second. Idiots.

JoElla said...

@Count.. is it wrong that I giggled at that?

Some people really need to make this their live motto

To quote Ron White.. "The next time you have a thought.. let it go"

I swear sometimes I am convinced the world has gone mental!

Cracker said...

Hell no!!!
This picture makes me really sad.

Frosty said...

Lol @D Brown. If only

Gayeld said...

Took the words straight out of my mouth.

Unknown said...

Seven - it's in Norway right?

GatorGirl said...

So the Michael Jackson holding blanket over the railing picture is no longer my wtf moment. I'm horrified!

Seven of Eleven said...

@texas, yes. It's called Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen in Norwegian) and it's terrifyingly beautiful.

Lady Heisenberg said...

@GatorGirl: How funny! That was exactly my first thought too (after a string of expletives)

Groggy said...

Yes, but only if my baby was going to grow up to be one these empty headed a-holes in the hope something would happen that would prevent my baby from growing up and having children that she would leave out on a rock.

8====D KermitGossnellKnobjob said...

No wind. No rain. A meter far from the cliff and looking away.
The baby is not in more danger than the parents, and they aren't at all.

crila16 said...

I see what they're trying to do with a cool shot of the baby and the background...but completely not necessary to have the baby that close to the cliff. It's ridiculous actually. Kids move like the speed of lightening at that age.

auntliddy said...

Well i wldnt, but all adults rightthere, and nothing happened. But i dont even like ME out there, much less a baby!! Lol

Unknown said...

A little ways away is a crack with a boulder lodged in it. You can cross over the boulder if you can stomach it.

Just Browsing said...

Reminds me of this, only this one is fake:

Sorry, I don't have time to look up my link instructions!

a loose seal said...

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and hoped the dad or someone was on the other side. But OMG...that pic seven posted made my stomach flip and hands sweat. I cannot believe how insanely stupid and careless some parents are.

RowdyRodimus said...

When I was about five, my parents and I went camping at a place called Devil's Den. The morning after we arrived, my Dad and I went hiking a trail that was made around the cliffs that they have there, nothing as steep as this one, but still a good 5-600 foot fall.

I didn't notice a root or rock and tripped over it when we were looking down the cliff. Thankfully my Dad had great reflexes because he caught my legs just as I was about to go over.

I've been scared of heights ever since, I mean, I can't even get on a step stool without feeling dizzy. Looking at the fall you could take from the cliff in the picture makes me start sweating now.

Just showed it to my Dad who still hasn't forgiven himself for letting me get as close to the edge as I did when I was a kid and he just said these people need their child taken away from them and made a good point: everyone made an uproar when MJ held his baby over a balcony (and rightfully so), where is everyone screaming for vengeance for this kid?

Aeol said...

My thoughts exactly!! I don't even put my baby on the bed by herself!!

missbunny said...

With Photoshop available, why take the risk?

Interplanet Janet said...

Are you EFFING kidding me???

1dollar said...

Oh my god, why on earth would you do that? Really disturbing.

Jacq said...

Jesus! I just shit down Times Square!
