Along with the horrible control of our language, you are ready to lap it if Jill is handing it out. For Greenberg to make the association between children crying and the undeniably stupid administration, is just too convenient and simplistic. Greenberg isn't an artist. She's a commercial photographer that would very much like to be seen as an artist. Hence - the deep meaning behind this bullshit. The images are cool. The method is basically pathetic. Let's just say - simple. Much like the people that just want to love it! I love it!!! Wow Steph’- That’s some deep thinking right there.

To intentionally make a child cry, by whatever means, and call it art, is the thin end of a wedge which ends up with artistic images of concentration camp interns. High art indeed. The intent is irrelevant, child abuse is child abuse. When a (good) parent sees their child crying, they intervene and are there to comfort them, and wipe away their tears.

Anyone who loves their child hates to see them cry whether it is from sodomy or a loss candy...just in different extremes. I am not so much mad at the photographer (although I am) as I am the parents. Until your kids are grown and living on their own and supporting themselves, it is your job to ensure they are protected and feel loved. What message does that send that you will allow a stranger to be mean to them and hurt their feelings because Mommy and Daddy wanted to exploit for a paycheck. I support my kid not the other way around. And if anyone besides myself or an adult I authorize to care for my son (like a teacher or babysitter) ever willfully was mean to him and made him cry, she would have a lot more to deal with from me. She would wish I only made her cry and took her picture. I don't expect my son to be happy all the time and obviously there are times he is upset and cries but not because I am making money or exploiting him...just the normal course of life. And it is my job as a parent, who chose to bring him into this world, to protect him from how cruel the world is until he is old enough and mature enough to handle it. Most loving parents do all in their power and sacrifice to make their children happy. Shame on the people involved. It may not be the end of the world but it is not ok either. And by the way I am a woman and I am a rape survivor...so I know how bad abuse can be and I still try to not make my child cry over anything. It is called Love!

You do not know much about child psychology it would appear from your whole attitude to this subject? I hope when these children become adults they sue your ass off for this public ridicule and abuse. Your 'Art' is wrong and one day when you grow up and stop trying to be so 'Arty and cool' you will see it for what it really is.
