And by wild we mean institutionalized child abuse.

Saving someone from choking is abuse?

Doing that is causing more harm than good. The logic that lead to recommending such action is derived from the institutionalized and abusive corporal discipline of the time. 'I beat my kid all the time, this can't possibly be bad for them. They can take it.'

It's like a cartoon where someone is being held upside-down by their ankles and shaken. Also, commentary of the time.

If you honestly believe in 2024 what is pictured is helping, do not help.
