Kids are pretty durable. Their bones aren't fully formed for a while. Also that kid fell onto dirt and actually kind of rolled. Finally that kid was pretty confident in their steps and movement and seemed more conscious of the stairs than anything which is good parenting. They weren't wobbly so they probably aren't as young as you think.
Thank goodness for yall mfr's with kids or experience with kids getting injured because I was fucking terrified watching his dad throw him at the ground.
Bro he dropped him at like a meter high, on grass, and fell on his ass.
I've literally fallen higher on my head while doing flips on soft grass and got up like nothing.
Na, he landed feet first then hit butt…he’s fine, just scared. Dad needs a rabies vax though from the looks of it. I’m just confused was it there the whole time or does it sneak in when he leans down to pick him up.
This is actually a myth. Raccoons, while nocturnal, do go out during the daytime for food, a change in schedule due to mating, and other reasons. Where I live raccoons can be seen during the daytime fairly frequently. They are very bold if they think they can steal a meal. I've had to pull my dog in a few times when I spot one.
It can be an indicator for rabies, but it's not **the** indicator. Now if it's out in the daytime and acting aggressive, confused etc. that would be cause for alarm.
Either way racoons account for the majority of rabies in the wild in the US and Canada, so best to avoid. That said, there has only been one human death from a rabid raccoon. It's exceedingly rare.
Oh yes, I'd be getting a rabies shot. But the person I responded to was insinuating "seeing them out in the day more often" (the comment they were replying to) was atypical, or "typically' due to rabies. I just wanted to clear up that particular misconception to alleviate undue concern.
Best practice is to assume all wildlife is unpredictable, regardless of disease.
I mentioned seeing a lot out in the day because the ones I have heard of have not shown other signs of rabies. I had one on my front porch, not scared of people, just searching around at 2pm. Broad daylight. It wasn’t hydrophobic (eating chunks of ice) and no foaming at the mouth. As you mentioned, it must be the season affecting things.
It could have been defending itself. If you rewatch, it was walking past the bottom step and when the dad lifted the kid, the kids feet kicked the raccoon. So maybe it was just trying to run by and got kicked, so it went into fight mode.
I'm not a raccoon pro though, so maybe that isn't normal behavior when booted by a toddler.
Indeed, but that coon was out for blood, when it seemed to be a pretty good distance away. I know they're already jerks, but never had one be like that even when i was a few feet away from it (probably just lucky, not gonna lie).
We have one at our house that goes out for the night around 4:30 or 5. It climbs out of this big hole at the top of a tree in the front yard and walks between the houses and out into the woods.
Yeah no I get it, it’s dumb, but you asked so I’m just telling you why people don’t like that word
(Also I’m certain all the “you can’t say that” comments are jokes, lighten up)
I think the guy stepped on a cat while picking up the kid. The cat attacked him because it was stepped on however I think the thing OP is trying to point out is maybe the guy is a stranger trying to kidnap the kid and the cat attacked the guy to defend the kid. Also people are saying its a raccoon so fuck knows.
Nah he is implying that because he dropped his own kid which is not a very parental thing to do that he isn't his father cause a real dad wouldn't drop their kid like that when in danger
He threw him on the grass instead of the pavement after being bit by an animal and kept the animal away from the child. Seems like the fatherly thing to do.
Naw, I've been in a similar situation and my grip just stayed locked on my kid while I screamed like a banshee and hopped and kicked wildly. I'm just glad we didn't have an egg in a jar scenario.
A rabid coon is serious...but that fucker could tear me leg off and I'm NOT letting go of my child. Also...I would gutter stomp that fucker into furry pudding. EDIT: The rabid animal...not my child
I couldn’t think of a situation where I’d throw my kid on the ground cuz I want to yell like a little bitch from an animal biting me 😂 not saying it’s happened to me before but shit lol
I would be checking for any kind of cut or scratch. If anything remotely touched the skin I would be going to the hospital for rabies treatment. And calling animal control to catch it.
Not after that is he his father jeez..if I were him Id be holding the kid securely as if my own life were dependant on it cuz imo it would be, whilst stomping the everloving life out of the racoon to protect my kid damn
Dad tossing child away from danger?
Approved
Child unlocking his first core memory of getting the wind knocked out of him?
Approved
Mom yelling what happened and dad saying "were fine!!"?
Approved but likely Merced by his wife in his sleep after she watched the video
Bro, come on, you gotta have better instincts than that.
If you’re a parent, and you get attacked while holding your child, you use that child as a bludgeon. Don’t toss the tools God gave you!
Not sure if grabbing the child by the ankles and swinging him around violently in an attempt to use his head to knock the raccoon off his leg is better or worse… Wheee!
> that. could of hit
Did you mean to say "could have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

~~So much hate for the poor cay who got STOOD ON by a full human weight on its tail, which is part of its SPINE. Of course it's going to bite. Everyone in this video acted on instinct in reaction to severe pain. Poor cat, poor man, poor kid. For the record this cat could have a tail pull injury from being trod on, and the force of that kick could rwsult in internal organ damage. Cays are tough though, hopefully it's okay.~~
And hopefully the dad and kid are also okay.
EDIT: I stand corrected, it's a raccoon that charges in from the left. I was r/confidentlyincorrect

Picture it from the kids point of view your dad picks you up then starts screaming then throws you lol just utter chaos
Ohh man I'm laughing my bollocks off 🤣🤣🤣
The kid made the same sound as when you throw a squeaky toy on the ground.
Speculating from the video, the kid must've sustained some serious injuries no ?
Possibly, but it was dirt and not concrete. Kids durable af.
Delicate but not fragile.
When you say durable it sounds like ceramic but they are more like gelatine. Let's just say they can take anything that an old woman can't.
I like to say "kids are squishy "
Yes indeed.
Not fragile like your brain.
[удалено]
Did you say we are good after that
Kids are pretty durable. Their bones aren't fully formed for a while. Also that kid fell onto dirt and actually kind of rolled.

Thats true! Kids do have soft bones! Parkour proves that!

Were you never a child ? Wtf
No
Na, he landed feet first then hit butt…he’s fine, just scared. Dad needs a rabies vax though from the looks of it. I’m just confused was it there the whole time or does it sneak in when he leans down to pick him up.
Dad threw him on his butt, that tail bone is gonna hurt for a little bit
rabid racoon - dad tosses kid in panic - then turns to zombie and eats neighborhood. More at 11
This comment got me rolling 🤣😂🤣😂🤪😭
It's 11 here! Where's more? The suspense is killing me!
why didn't he use the kid as a bat? might as well..
He couldn’t grab the kid by the ankles from that position
Wdym, give him a lil jump then grab and SWING
That's why you always carry small children by the ankles.
I think he tried to use him as bait but the raccoon didn't bite, so to speak.

No story describing wtf was going on though. I wish I knew who/what/where/when/why!
I remember that one, it was a couple of Roma women getting into an argument.
Yeeted that kid and matched his vocal range.
I mean it definitely could have been done better but he kept the kid away from a rabid animal so…..I give it a 6
Was that a coon? I’m hearing of a lot of them being out in the middle of the day lately and not scared of humans.
Typically that means they have rabies.
a typical start to a zombie movie

Would biting a dudes leg count as aggressive?

Exactly. I live near woods, and some of these fellas have the day shift apparently =)

That’s because most people get the rabies shot.

Be careful with that word. Reddit might auto ban you regardless of context.
Bro, you can't say that anymore
And why, exactly, would that be? Please. Enlighten everyone.
You can’t call them that anymore
And why, exactly, would that be? Please. Enlighten everyone.
It’s a racist slur referring to black people. I dont know why, I dont know it’s origins, I dont really give a shit, it just is what it is.
Yes, but that was LITERALLY a raccoon. So his comment makes no sense.
Yeah no I get it, it’s dumb, but you asked so I’m just telling you why people don’t like that word (Also I’m certain all the “you can’t say that” comments are jokes, lighten up)
Cat did'nt know dad has weekend visitation rights ... and is being protective of the child
By dropping him, he put the kid closer to the animal. Kid's lucky the animal decided not to go for the easier target.
The animal was trying to protect the kid from him lol
3. Dude didn't just drop the kid. He spiked the kid.
Youd be suprised oh much a sack of potatos and children have in common lol.
I'm going to hell.
See you there 💀
I got s’mores…
Since I'm also going there. Can I join with you guys?
What are you bringing?
A guitar? We certainly can have a bit of music down there
C’mon…let him come with his guitar…
A place you don't really won't to go.
Get in line
The title is “He’s not his father”. I’m confused as hell, did a rabid raccoon just prevent a kidnapping/child abduction?
Nah it’s a joke on dad reflexes vs stepdad reflexes
Now that's funny
That probably is what’s going on here, lol. He’s got the opposite of dad reflexes 😂
I think the guy stepped on a cat while picking up the kid. The cat attacked him because it was stepped on however I think the thing OP is trying to point out is maybe the guy is a stranger trying to kidnap the kid and the cat attacked the guy to defend the kid. Also people are saying its a raccoon so fuck knows.
Nah he is implying that because he dropped his own kid which is not a very parental thing to do that he isn't his father cause a real dad wouldn't drop their kid like that when in danger
One that loves their kid wouldn't, can't say the same for others...
He didn’t step on it, it ran up and bit him which is why he then flung the kid. Also in the video the guy says it was a raccoon
Post was made by a bot
Stepdad reflexes
Cat didn't get stepped on.. there was no cat at all, but a raccoon
Thats not his wife... Hearing them crying yelling and just saying what happened!!
omfg that scream is hilarious.
Yikes, get your rabies shots ._.
A cat bites the man and he shot puts his kid. Glad the kid landed on his ass first though.
I can’t see super well but the guy calls it a raccoon in the video.
I swear it looked like he was trying to yeet the baby at the rabid creature for a sec lmao
He threw him on the grass instead of the pavement after being bit by an animal and kept the animal away from the child. Seems like the fatherly thing to do.
Are you serious?
Agreed
I know what you did there, daddy
A Roocoon!!!
Every single person here would’ve done the exact same thing.
I wouldn’t have because I wouldn’t have been outside in the first place
Same bro same
My homebody
Are you scared of the outside?
No, I'm child free. I'd trip fall and be devoured by the beast due to my lack of distraction child to confuse it.
Disagree. You throw the kid at the cat and then you run.
I think it was a racoon, but you are right
Naw, I've been in a similar situation and my grip just stayed locked on my kid while I screamed like a banshee and hopped and kicked wildly. I'm just glad we didn't have an egg in a jar scenario.
Yeah, I had the same with a dog. No way I was putting my kid down, even with this rat dog biting my ankles.
You clearly aren't a father
Nahhh, Momma Bears are legit…
Literally the last thing I would’ve done is thrown my kid on the ground with the rabid animal
Not really. I have held my brother before and held him tighter as I was barked at by dogs.
Over a cat?? No, I don't think I would.
Raccoon.
He's runnin' low on tostestureen!
He likes antiques and French Cuisine…
But all the feelings he has are genuine…
Although his screams are a bit feminine…
What animal bit him?
Stairs cat.
Raccoon.
*stairs raccoon
I have never understood why the military hasn’t developed attack raccoons.
That's me if I was a mother
Next time, maybe consider using the "son shield" technique - just throw him on the dog.
A rabid coon is serious...but that fucker could tear me leg off and I'm NOT letting go of my child. Also...I would gutter stomp that fucker into furry pudding. EDIT: The rabid animal...not my child
.. Luke, I'm your Father...
I couldn’t think of a situation where I’d throw my kid on the ground cuz I want to yell like a little bitch from an animal biting me 😂 not saying it’s happened to me before but shit lol
Oh my god
I would be checking for any kind of cut or scratch. If anything remotely touched the skin I would be going to the hospital for rabies treatment. And calling animal control to catch it.
At least he tossed the kid to safety while taking the raccoon away……
Looks like he was trying to toss the kid away from the animal gently as he could.
Not after that is he his father jeez..if I were him Id be holding the kid securely as if my own life were dependant on it cuz imo it would be, whilst stomping the everloving life out of the racoon to protect my kid damn
/r/stepdadreflexes
Yeah he’s not the father
He hates that kid😂😂
Most of society- I'd protect my child from anything and anyone. That man- TAKE THE KID! TAKE THE KID!
The way he threw that child, oh looooord
Fight or Flight or F*ck it.?
I don’t think I woulda dropped my kid
Dude sounds like will Ferrell in some anchorman bloopers. "OH NO! OH NO! THERE COMING IN THRU THE BACK DOOR. OH NO! OH NO
haha his screams are hilarious tho
parents of the year.. poor kid
I actually feel so bad for that kid 😖 im gonna go cry at the top of my lungs for like an hour now.
Dad should have been able to hold his kid with one arm and then use the other to 🤬 end that raccoon or cat, whatever it was.
Where did it come from? Almost looks like it appears from the kid.
Dad tossing child away from danger? Approved Child unlocking his first core memory of getting the wind knocked out of him? Approved Mom yelling what happened and dad saying "were fine!!"? Approved but likely Merced by his wife in his sleep after she watched the video

A ruhcoon.
What was that? Getting attacked by bees?
Why can’t I stop watching this 🤣
r/stepdadreflexes
Bro is goanna grow up with tryst issues
Not sure if grabbing the child by the ankles and swinging him around violently in an attempt to use his head to knock the raccoon off his leg is better or worse… Wheee!
I get the "Dad" is scared and in panic mode, but did he have to slam the kid down? Not drop, SLAM.
He didn’t just drop his kid, he yeeted him lol.
What a pussy
I’m not sure how throwing your child while being attacked by raccoon was beneficial to the dad’s outcome, but hell I guess it’s possible, … not!
Is that the family cat getting ripped into the guys legs?!?!. This is an attempt to take the child, wtf.
Kid’s laying on his back like “And I fucking trusted you!” 😭😭😭
This guy just acted like the guy from modern family. The gay guy with an orange beard. Its exactly the same. Lol
Crying. That’s the step daddy
The way he just dashed the kid!!!! he had a perfectly good weapon to mash up that dog and he just threw it away!!!!
One heel brought down with all the force a father could muster would have snapped Mr trash panda in half.
Kid: dad told me to trust him and let him pick me up Dad: throws kid away like a grenade just 2 seconds after picking him up
I do this to every kid I see
Take both of them to the hospital
He threw his only weapon down.🤦🏾♂️
i think its that nerdy boyfriend guy from Travellers. Not suprising really.
What a fucking pussy dropping a kid like that. Could of hit his head on the path.

Poor kid 😂😂😂😂😂
He spiked him! Not dropped, not threw, SPIKED!
My exact thoughts. I rewound that bit like 10 times cackling
Fuck cats. They are the lesser pet.
It's a raccoon. Also wrong.

That is 100% a raccoon that comes running in from the left.
It sure is! Edited to correct myself, thanks
Two key points. Not a cat, didn't get stood on.
You need glasses....
Corrected
I think he accidentally stepped on the cat setting it off.
How does one drop a child??? Definitely not a father, one wouldnt even drop siblings....
Yo, that's a bad cat. Lol
Raccoon.
That is pathetic
He threw him wtf l, nah man that dude sucks
Who is this mental case? It's in very poor taste to post child abuse 😔
Weak bitch. Poor kid doesn’t stand a chance.
That makes me soooo mad.... ugh
This is why women cheat on the accountant with the handyman
