An influencer is on a cliff with his son (7) – seconds later he winds the panicky boy in the water. The video of his “educational measure”, as the father calls it, goes viral and causes angry reactions in social networks. The waves got up.
“What the hell is you wrong with you?” – With these words, one of the countless comments under the video that is currently viral is going on Instagram. To see it: influence Father Garret Gee, how he throws his seven -year -old son Calihan into the water of a rock cliff that shuns panic. Only a few seconds later the boy appears radiantly from the lake.
The scene was recorded on a rock on Lake Powell in Utah, vs. The boy clearly does not dare to jump. So the father grabs without further delay – and the small body winds over the edge. The mother, Jessica, records the moment with the camera and placed the video online on her family channel. Three days later: 3.6 million clicks – and a storm of indignation.
“He wanted that too!”
But Garret Gee does not see himself as a ruthless father. “I wanted to make sure that he was not hesitant and injured because he doesn’t jump far enough,” he explains. “By throwing it in the water, I certainly assumed that he ends up in the water safely.” The scene was also discussed in advance, the water deep, the timing thought out. And his son? “He wanted that too!” For many, however, it sounds like a protection claim.
“We teach our children that they can also control things that are difficult,” said Garret. It is part of her daily life that you have shared for years with millions of followers as a “bucket list family” on social media. The house in Utah has been sold for a long time, the world is your house, Hawaii is the basis. And education? It sometimes takes place on cliffs.
The emotions in the comments can hardly be contradictory anymore: although a user writes angry that the experience is “a lifelong traumatization” and a helicopter mother, “you don’t even do something like that with your dog!” Another raves: “I had been nice to have had you as parents!”, While another applauded: “More courage, less cotton – thanks for showing!”
