Parents who brought 6 month old daughter to Portland riot area think tear gas risk worth it because she got to witness history

The last nearly two months of protests and riots in Portland, Oregon have brought with it some seriously “WTF” moments, and here’s yet another one:

There are a few kids here, but this is the tiniest one I’ve seen. Sabbath is 6 months old. Her parents were worried about bringing her, they said, bc of all the tear gas. But they said they wanted her to witness history in the making & teach her to show up for what’s right. #PDX pic.twitter.com/U3aqpj6rGn

Maybe even Parents of the Decade!

This is straight-up child abuse. There's something wrong w/ these ppl->"Sabbath is 6 mos old. Her parents were worried about bringing her, they said, bc of all the tear gas. But they said they wanted her to witness history in the making & teach her to show up for what’s right. " https://t.co/3sXTzR8eMj

What kind of parents would take an infant to something like this..esp when they mention all the tear gas?? And their excuse is they want her to 'witness history in the making', seriously? She's a tiny baby..as if she has any idea what she's witnessing. Good grief! https://t.co/tyf3LRu6C9

These "parents" are morons who endanger their child. https://t.co/OaiWPr49DS

Translation: " We really want to go to the riot, and we can't find a babysitter. So we're going to pretend we're practicing parent skills by bringing a baby into a dangerous area with toxic fumes".

Witness history?? She's not gonna remember jack shit! You're completely needlessly putting her at risk to show how "woke" you are. Disgusting https://t.co/kY0c1iCrev
