Happy new year bob. 

I would say, "grow up" to those that see it more than him lovingly holding his baby girl probably like he has done for years.

If those that do, stopped focussing on womens and mens bits as something unusual, they could get on with better things in life.

Inappropriate!

Kopes, did you actually watch the video or just look at the photo?

That girl is a very large 8 yo IMO.    She is his foster daughter.

I have never seen a father 'fondle' his daughter like that.

Don't think she looked particularly comfortable with it either

  She is his foster daughter

isn't foster their last name?

Don't think she looked particularly comfortable with it either

she looked used to it

it would look odd if she was fully developed, i reckon

[raptor_rebooted]

anyone that saw anything other than

a father giving his daughter a hug needs

to question their motives.

the way the social media trolls attacked

him; accusing him of groping, fondling etc

was disgusting.  

if that was her mother, no one would think

anything of it.  no wonder fathers are too

afraid to show affection towards their daughters

in public.  i really feel sorry for them. 

shame on the trolls   thankfully,

for every troll, there were many who showed

support for craig foster.  sad he felt he needed

to defend himself 

[raptor_rebooted]

She is his foster daughter.

not that it makes any difference,

but i was not aware of this.  

i was sure all 3 kids were his.

Allow me a moment to be flippant, and say that he's not even keeping time to the music.

Innapropriate? Innocent? I'm going to say Questionable.

Oh dear, watching the video it does seem inappropriate. It's beyond a hug, it's verging on a grope.

[raptor_rebooted]

I have never seen a father 'fondle' his daughter like that.

and how many similar situations

have you seen?   

if she was facing him, he would be

hugging her the same way on her

back.  

Don't think she looked particularly comfortable with it either

an 8 yo having a camera in her face,

watched by 40 thousand ppl and more

on tv.  i can understand her not looking

comfortable.  her father was there to 

reassure her.

OK, my bad.     The name is Foster.   I mis-read that bit.

I don't know this guy, but the ones defending him seem to know him.

If you didn't know who he was, would you still think it was appropriate

behaviour?

I repeat.   I have never seen a father 'fondle' a daughter in this way
