    Child advocates branded the Queenslander of the Year reckless for holding one-month-old son, Bob, under his arm while feeding the 4m crocodile a dead chicken during a show for the public and media at Australia Zoo.

    "If I had known it was going to cause a ruckus I would have thrown them (the media) out by their ears," he said. "I was in complete control of the crocodile. Robert was tucked right in my arm.

    "It is far more dangerous to pack your kid up and go out on the road."

    The show was billed as Bob's "croc-feeding debut".

    "Good boy, Bob," Irwin said as Murray's jaws snapped shut on the food.

    How the F!*K does one attain "complete control" over a crocodile? They are unchanged, zillion year old, eating machines, not unlike the Great White Sharks. The only way to exert ANY control over them, is by stuffing your body down their throats. You MIGHT make them gag a little that way.

    I watched his 'live' shows on Animal Planet earlier this year and he dropped the ole' F bomb on his co-workers a few times on live TV. Ole' Steve-O is kind of an ****....It's too bad because I kinda liked him because he's so passionate about his job and it's overwhelmingly amusing.

    I've been to Oz, and seen those crocs up close, live and in person. When they want to, they move as fast as a cat. If that thing fancied that tot, he would've taken him, and the only thing old "Steve-O" could've done, was stand there and watch.

    That was a 13 footer. The big boys come in at 20-25 feet. Nightmares with legs.

    I thought the baby WAS the food, this is after, all reality TV. What seems horrendous to us, is not always the case elsewhere. He is not certified insane, so I would leave it to his best judgement as to how he handles his own children.

    I have no kids, don't plan on having any of the little demons, so who am I to say he couldn't bring his child on a "Croc Feed".

    Children are really just small people. I think the kid should've had a say. He's too young to have a say? Then an ADULT should've acted more responsibly.

    Oh I forgot, I have complete control over what some Aussie does with his child....I should have wrinkled my brow and said "Begone ye moron!"

    Yes, I am warped, a 100% product of our reality society. Welcome to the 21st century, be prepared for more news makers like this, I assure you.

    I have way more things to worry about, like washing my nuts, then to give one flying screw, about what an NOWHERE CLOSE TO ME adult up does with HIS child. Was it off-base? Yea, probably not the best idea. Should he be hauled off to jail? No, that's just reactionary emotion, and uncalled for.

    And the water-skiing baby I saw tonight on Real TV is insane also....or the water babies, throwing them into water, because they have a "instinct" to swim and breathe properly...yea, I will certainly lose sleep over this episode, only to wake up to another tomorrow when I put my Superman tights on.

    I am not about to get into some holier than tho', he said she said, what if what if, argument about a single act of just plain silly.

    Maybe that Croc isn't as dumb as people think. He's been fed chickens on a regular basis and probably knows the drill well enough to do it with his eyes closed. Why would he want to screw up a good thing and end up as a handbag? Besides all that, it's his kid, his choice.

    Then we have wacko Jacko (No, I don't like him) holding his kid over the edge of a railing, BFD!!! He had two hands on him and he didn't drop him.

    How is any of it different than letting your kid go outside to play? There are so many things that COULD happen, should you go to jail because of something that could happen.

    I don't think he should go to jail, but I still think he's a moron. I think Wacko Jacko is a moron too. When you're in the public eye you should be smarter than to dangle your baby off a friggin' balcony or feed crocodiles while your baby is in your arms.

    As much as there IS too much touchy feely crap in the world today there is also an abundant loss of common sense.

    Other than that we completely agree...

    I agree with that Max......I mean, how many of us have ever decided that a gator looked like fun to go over and hop on and tackle. He's done that, and done it for QUITE a while, so (albeit a bit risky) I think that he's a little more qualified to gauge the safety of himself and his child in there than any of us. With Irwin, it was only gonna be a matter of time before he gets the kid around those animals........

    As a CIVILIZED group of complex, multi-celled organisms, we strive to MINIMIZE our childrens exposure to unnecessary risk of harm or discomfort. This is why we find it unnacceptable to let our children go out in the winter without the proper clothing, but still find it acceptable to throw them in the car to spend the holidaze at grammy and grampys house. It is a NECESSARY risk. We, the kids, grammy and grampy, ALL NEED that interaction.

    This is the same reason that WE find the individuals actions with the croc to be unnacceptable. WHAT were the possible results both good and bad? The kid seemed much too young to be learning any type of lesson from the incident. Additionally, in the event that the croc DID get lucky, and snap off one of the kids legs, I would've found it interesting to be on hand a few years down the road when DAD-O was explaining JUST WHY Little Croc Hunter couldn't run and jump with the rest of the kids.

    The man had a INCREDIBLY LARGE lapse of good judgement, that fortunately no one had to pay for. He compounds the mistake by making the type of statement he made afterwards. I mean, who's going to let their kids hang-out with Steve-O now? You?

    Just because you teach your kids about firearm safety, doesn't mean you leave loaded guns within their reach.

    This hardly needs debate or discussion, all you need to do is look at the picture or video. It's just plain wrong, and you know it just by looking at it. I don't care what he does with his own health, and in fact I enjoy watching him risk it, but DO NOT put an infant near a ****' croc for Christ's sake. What, is business that slow?

    I hope that every one of you gets this indignant every time you see an infant or child riding in a car while not in a restraint device or riding in an adult's lap. The chance of the child in the car getting hurt or killed is MUCH greater than Irwin's child getting hurt. If you don't ...YOU SHOULD!

    Every parent puts their child in harms way at some point or the other. We do things that we do not consider a risk but could cause harm to our child. As some have said maybe a car trip to see grandma is a justifyable risk.... Irwin probably feels ( and is probably correct ) that his child is safer in his arms in a crocodile pen than he would be on any major hwy in the US. I know he has a better idea of how that croc is going to act than he would the idiot driver in the car next to him. This guy hasn't lived as long as he has not having an acute sense of what these animals are about.

    My point is this...if you have children...YOU...have done something that could have seriously injured of killed your child. You didn't mean to, it may have seemed innocent at the time, it was not intended to put the child in harms way and no harm came from it...but it happend. That is unless you put your child in a bubble that it never left until it was of age.

    I agree with Brett on this...in a very short period of time that child will be doing things around dangerous animals that we would never ever consider...probably just like Irwin did as a child.

    And I just bet there are a many out there who would love to have that child taken a way from his parents and put into the "protective arms of the government". Now there's a solution ... :rolleyes:
