I introduced my then girlfriend to Reddit. We've been married for 5yrs, and we have 1 son.

There are dozens of us.

No. It would put its whole hand into the flame trying to grasp it, harm itself permanently, and be left with still no concept of what fire is or why it's in pain.

Congrats, you permanently burned a child, subjected it to extreme pain, and gained nothing for it.

You need about another decade of maturing before you should be allowed to breed.

>(within reason of course)

You think a child under 1 year old is able to grasp the concept of fire and learn it is extremely dangerous? You think letting it touch fire is within reason?

Sitting stance and size... I'd say the child is about 10mo.

There is nothing that kid would learn from touching fire except that it didn't pick up the fire. There would be no concept or grasp of why they're in pain. No cognitive connection of the pain to the fire. No real lesson.

Letting them learn is predicated on the idea that they can objectively learn the lesson. If they can't, stop them.

It's unclear how many were on site, however every person there has what's called "Stop work authority". There's not a construction site or safety briefing in this country that doesn't cover that if you see something unsafe you have the authority to put a stop to it.

Everyone on that site is responsible.
