Yes but what I'm saying is
you literally cannot say that it is abuse of a child.
"Child maltreatment, sometimes referred to as child abuse and neglect, includes all forms of physical and emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation that results in actual or potential harm to the child’s health, development or dignity. Within this broad definition, five subtypes can be distinguished – physical abuse; sexual abuse; neglect and negligent treatment; emotional abuse; and exploitation."
you can't reliably say there is any "abuse" going on, because you have no idea about the situation. all you have seen is a child playing drums. you don't know anything else about him. my mum used to be the departmental head of a social workers in belfast btw, incase that has any relevance. which it doesn't, because even i have no idea what is going on in the situation. just like you don't. just like i don't. just like no one knows. just like this thread will go round in circle after circle if we talk about "abuse".
What I don't understand is, if you truly believe there is an element of abuse, why you (i'm guessing?) haven't alerted anybody, even youtube? that's the first thing i would have done instantly. however there's a reason i didn't. because from the evidence available it simply isn't.
What I have just done is to c&p this thread to the parents (owners of the youtube account), maybe they'll come and answer directly.

I think SquadLeader's description of "abuse" was in no way incongruous: just because someone hasn't been raped on stabbed it doesn't mean they cannot be described as abused. Surely there are shades of grey [if you'll pardon the expression]?

Because what is immoral and what is illegal don't always tally. It is not illegal to allow your 9 year old daughter to walk down the street wearing a T Shirt that says "Future Porn Star", but it is highly immoral and unquestionably abusive - yet plenty of people do allow it.
The UN said:The child shall be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. He shall not be the subject of traffic, in any form.
The child shall not be admitted to employment before an appropriate minimum age; he shall in no case be caused or permitted to engage in any occupation or employment which would prejudice his health or education, or interfere with his physical, mental or moral development.
these beauty parades in Southern US states. Nothing illegal about those.. Young children being made up, dressed like absolute tarts, and putting 'flippers' in to give them a beautiful smile, and a nice clean set of teeth. Those parents entering their children think they are wonderful things...I think they are 'sick'.
oh christ, don't bring the UN into this, who knows what we might start supporting!
in this thread: first world problems
The media sure like to get us feeling good about life and what goes on.
Screenshot from this morning's "paper". It's so good to be alive!

I struggle to see how it could be immoral. As long as the kid isn't hating life as it is, I don't see much harm at all. When he gets pushed into doing something he's not into, that's a different matter.

I believe a 6 year old's place is in a classroom learning about Maths, English, and Life.
Only problem with this statement is that student who do music also do better in math and science. As long as his grades aren't suffering, or he has a tutor on the road like every single child actor for the last 60 years, I see no harm. Kids will decide when thay have had enough. Let the kid live.And where else better to learn life than out in the world and not just in a class room being told Christoher Columbus discoverd America or that the Civil War was fought over slavery. He'll learn more about life living it and not reading about it.
