went viral last week after filming himself trying to feed his baby nephew. When the tot refused to eat, Hernandez then pretended to try to feed the Mickey Mouse stuffed animal who seemingly didn’t want the food either. Here, the man starts to aggressively punch the stuffed animal. Once he's made his point, he scoops up more food and turns to his nephew to try feeding him again. Visibly flustered by what he witnessed, the little boy opens his mouth and allows his uncle to feed him.
“When kids don’t wanna eat, this is what you gotta do,” Hernandez writes on Twitter. In less than a week, the tweet has received more than 116,000 retweets and 300,000 likes. What’s more alarming, it’s inspired a handful of parents, aunts, uncles and other caregivers to try the maneuver out for themselves.
While hitting a stuffed animal may seem like a silly gesture to an adult, think about how scary it is for a child who has an attachment to their plush. Their doll is almost as real to them as their parents are, so witnessing the act of violence isn’t just upsetting, it’s terrifying.
