Either kids don't realize the damage an adult can inflict on them, or they hazard being under the patience threshold before the adults actually yeets them.
4-13y/o, there we sooo many times my mother asked me "what did you think was going to happen" and the only answer I ever had for her was 'I didn't think'. It was always an impulsive 'ooo, that looks like fun', and then dealing with the consequences of my stupid decisions...
It's almost like impulse control takes mental maturity, hmm...
For real though, I wish more adults would remember this when interacting with kids. I see some people get so frustrated with kids for reacting on impulse, as if they have control over it the way adults do. Childhood amnesia happens and so many adults forget what it was like to be kids, but if you can't remember what it's like, it's going to be harder to understand why they do what they do.
Or just enabled attention seeking behavior. Act like that in front of your friends and it gets some positive outcome, see others mimicking or encouraging it, and it escalated to where it's back down or exaggerate and suddenly you're a little shithead who doesn't realize there's a limit to 'acceptable'.
Definition of fuck around and find out. The monkey dance is learned at an early age. The limit to this behavior too, as can be seen in the video. A fully grown adult could have easily killed or seriously injured him. But he chose a lesson with a much more educational outcome.
There is a good book called "meditations on violence" that call this the "monkey dance". Its different for every culture but its basically threatening behavior to make to other person back down while hoping to avoid a real fight. So its a display of aggression and insecurity as well. So if somebody does this you are far more safe than if somebody just charges you. Both signal a readiness for violence, but one signals ana awareness of the risks that come with escalation.
I've seen similar videos (without the child throwing) where kids eject and already broken bicycle in front of a motorbike forcing him to stop, then claim the bike is broken because of the motorbike. Basically trying to scam/steel from him.
Yep. Pretty common scam in rural India. Only works on sane, decent victims. Do it to the wrong guy over there and you get an express ticket to the afterlife and nobody will do shit about it, only sorrow for your family.

Kids haven’t developed the ability to think things through completely.

You have the perfect name for this conversation XD
I totally agree though, adults expect too much of kids sometimes.

*kids that haven't gone through trauma or had to think seriously about survival constantly, don't usually think things through completely

Wow, there is probably some mental illness going on or something akin to quite alot of trauma in that kids life.

My husband showed me this vid and the first thing I said was that little shit needs to realize he is small enough to be thrown.
I love it when I'm right.
His parents need to deal with that or he ain't gonna make it to adulthood. Someone gonna beat the tar outta him.
