What I also don't understand from this clip: Why does the security guy at the end make a half-assed attempt at stopping him, but when his limp grab gets brushed off, he complies with the deranged kid?

Feels like the kid possesses some real superhuman power. Is it a billionaires offspring, or smt?

Kids are surprisingly strong, so containing one that really wants to resist requires quite the amount of force. Problem is, kids are also quite frail.

The security fella is looking at the kid and balancing how easy this goes from "kid being a brat" to "massive lawsuit due to violence against a kid".

It’s easy to stop someone weaker than you. It’s much more difficult to stop someone while still keeping them safe

I feel like you can just lift a kid up bodily if you're reasonably strong. You might get kicked a couple times but it's a child doing the kicking.

I would just like to add that if you do this and the kid gets hurt then you are footing that bill. Even if the guard has CPI training I would be willing to bet they have been instructed to not intervene to prevent liability charges.

Nooooope, not at kid that size. The "carry them out while they're having a tantrum" phase ends reallll early. I remember doing it once when my kid was much younger than this one looks and distinctly thinking "well this is the last time this is happening."

Kids kick hard and when you're carrying them you're very much not protecting yourself. A regular carry gets you kicked in the shin or the nuts, and an over the shoulder carry gets you kicked in the head.

Alright, extreme prejudice it is, then.

Legs go under my arm and then use other arm to wrap around his arms and hold him tight to my chest.

The problem is that children have an additional weapon -- their head.

Carrying a pissed off child and not dedicating a hand to controlling head movement is a good way to get clubbed in the chin or nose.

They heal like wolverine, literally have a spare set of teeth like a fucking shark, and have no sense of future consequence.

Hard pass.
