Well?
yes. Leaving a small kid hanging by its arms with no way out other than falling is not smart

I cant imagine that would be ideal for the babies young developing bones

The Kid is only there for few seconds.
We need a Video.

terrible, its tantamount to child abuse, the baby doesn't look too happy with it either
what is wrong with people and their incessant need to take pictures of their children and post them online ...is this supposed to be some kind of look what my kid can do at 9 months ....just bog off

we can dangle you off the shard for a few seconds see how you like it then :laugh:
I thought it looked very dangerous, that baby won't really understand what's going on and could be quite hurt if she fell. Wouldn't be that easy for Joe to catch her

It’s fine, it’s a cute photo that most likely took no more than a few seconds, as long as a child isn’t getting hurt, abused or mentally tortured by its parents, people need to keep their noses out of the way other people parent

Don't post it online then, send it to Grandpa
He is out of the news now so I suppose its a way to get people talking.
Babies have very soft bones, they shouldn't be hanging from stuff designed for older kids/adults

Don’t post your cute baby and family pictures online because weirdly nosey and morally superior people are going to criticise you for doing something they wouldn’t, what a normal society we live in

Its not a moral issue...
Its just stupid to put a small baby in danger of hurting themselves

Then let’s ban toys for babies as well, let’s stop parents holding their babies, because they might drop them

First one looks fine as he's there ready to catch, second one is dodgy (for the younger kid) because no one is there to catch.
Other than that ... it's fine for kids of all ages to play in ways that are not 100% safe. There's an increasing tendency to not just let kids play.

The first one looks fine as he is near the baby to catch them. The sand will soften the blow too

I think what people forget is a photo is frozen for a million years in time, it might have literally just been a few seconds and then Joe is under the bars to safely catch the baby . So while it seems a bit risky ....I wouldn't exactly say he was being a "bad parent" . Hopefully the baby was fine .
Edit
First photo I'm talking about of course. As for the second photo with the 2 children...that one looks more careless,but he probably is underestimating the dangers just because it's sand beneath them.

its tribalism, not reasoned argument
sadly
I wouldn't accuse someone of being a bad parent based on one instance (either Joe Wicks or the McCanns) but I think it's fair enough to say that something is bad parenting.
I'm sure he's a great Dad in general, I just think this was a bit reckless hence it causing such a storm online

Imagine defending parents who left children unaccompanied to go out drinking.
You’re actually hilarious and it makes your ‘save the children from drag’ even more laughable.
To defend the McCanns is diabolical. You talk about facts. The fact is if the children weren’t left on their own, Maddie would never have disappeared. That is a solid fact.

Hardly a conspiracy, it's a fact they left their 3 children under 4 in an apartment alone while they went out drinking, thems the facts right there

Well no Glenn
Because if they caused her death then them being left on their own means nothing
None of us know all the facts.

Lets be real. every parent is not perfect, in joes case, he was only taking a picture. The McCanns case, they left there kids in the hotel room alone to get a drink? That's not right.

this is just another example of a celeb generating clicks on social media. Every click, good or bad increases their profile. It's as simple as that

Again was is to get drunk or to cover up a crime/accident!
You say parents are not perfect so you must then apply that logic to the McCanns if you believe they left the kids to get drunk

Poor Madeline was neglected by her useless parents(i still think they drugged her and know what happened to her ..... but don't get me started on that), no idea why the McCann's are being compared to Joe Wicks taking a photo of his kids on monkey bars.

If you don’t think the McCanns are bad parents for leaving children alone to go out for dinner and drinks then you don’t really have an opinion that’s going to be respected.

And the less said about this the better. You don’t leave a baby to hang and force their bones to stretch more than a 9-month-old’s should (IMO).
