MAHSA

I agree with almost everybody here

I can understand the mitigated feelings of all. Some of us are parents, so it's more difficult for a mother/father to see a child being mentally abused in such way.

I'd say, I can understand a little 7 girl being tired and disgusted by the azadari for moharam & the Imam Hossein. I was feeling the same for the ceremonies of 4th Aban and else........

But I disagree that she would talk of Israel and Palestine and America, while she has no clue where are those countries and what is their history. At a moment during her speech, she couldn't even remember the name of Israel or how to pronounce it. She seems to talk about things that she has not a little clue about!  Although, this is not so surprising, as we see many adults are doing exactly the same here in this site :)

What if she recited Koran like a parrot?

no better than the famous "Iranian Child - Remembrance of Fatimat Al-Zahra"

indoctrinating innocent children= BAD! disgusting parenting.

Her grievenaces, on many instances are her own and not parents'

You people make me ill

You, the ones that are supporting and advocationg this. Some of you won't hesitate to destroy anyone or anything for your own benefit or to simply satisfy your own sick, angry needs. This self serving mentality just makes me want to vomit.

And to top it off JJ 'the editor' writes:  'Who could imagine such a young child would understand so much.' Here is your answer Mr Editor: ONLY AN IDIOT. The rest know that a 7 year old can not possibly process and understand let alone articulate such things on her own. Never seen a child repeat adult words like a parrot? Honestly, where is your sense of responsibilty?

Be Real

I agree that she has to be protected from grown up issues but how do you protect a child who has to go to prison form the age of 2 to see her father? What do you say when she asks why my dad is in prison? Also IRI is politicizing the children in schools all over the country. It's easy for us to talk about protection in the west.

I agree with Fred that it is a very bad news for IRI if this is what children discuss in schools.

Personally,

I tend to agree with Azarin and Faramarz when it comes to involvement of children in issues like politics or even family feuds. Using children to promote any agenda is unacceptable whether by one parent against another or in a situation such as the one we are discussing.

Shameless

Shameless irresponsible parenting.

Desperate, Wrong, Child Abuse, Whatever

One May Perceive This action, let's not forget that under IR there are millions of Iranian kids who cannot enjoy proper childhood  as a direct result of IR's efforts to indoctrinate them. Let's not forget for a moment that under IR's rule many Iranian kids are being turned into prostitutes, panhandlers and drug addicts. Let's not forget how children, as young as seven or eight were used to walk on mimes during Iran-Iraq war. Let's not forget the psychological damage to millions of children as a result of IR's warmongering policies. Let's not forget many Iranian kids who are deprived of proper education because their parents cannot afford sending them to school. Aren't there children among the tens of millions of Iranians living under poverty line? Aren't there children living in homes where either one or both parents are drug addicts? Aren't there Iranian children who have nowhere to go and are suffering in homes with abusive parents? Whether we agree with or are against making or showing of such videos, let's not forget to blame IR's inhuman policies towards Iranians including and, especially, children, first!!!

Dear Samsam

As a parent, even though I hate IRI, but I would never teach my kids my own hatred. Because I'm afraid that instead of hating IRI, they might start hating Iran or Iranians or, worst of all, themselves.

I want my kids to be independant and critical thinkers...not being parrots repeating my mind and my opinion. What's different between this girl and those other kids who talk religious nonsense and weep for Imam Hossein and let their parents cut their forehead?

I truly believe that my job as a mother is to protect my children, and not to break their fragile little wings. Once they know how to fly, I'd trust them to see the truth for themselves. Yet, I wouldn't mind if they don't agree with me and my opinion..I'd love them anyway. 

By dropping the heavy load of ugly truth over someone who doesn’t have the needed strength to carry this load, you’re just crushing them for good.

So, I still think that this video shows "Child abuse". 

what can u say....

except that the this poor little girl had the misfortune of living under the yoke of the psychopath akhoonds

what a shame that our wonderful youth have to put up with such crap....

may god free our nation from these vile mullahs 

Let’s Chill for a Second

The majority of the people who are commenting about this thread are in complete agreement about the evil nature of the Regime and the desire that it should parish one way or another. But, the disagreement is over the way that one should engage a 7-year old about the harsh realities of life. I don’t believe that we should just sit them down, break the bad news and have them make a video clip. They need to be protected until they can reasonably process the bad news. That’s my opinion.

Dad: “Sweetie, your mom was just raped by a bad man. How do you feel? You want to make a video clip?”

Grandma: “Honey, mommy and daddy were robbed last night and a bad man killed your daddy. You want to make a video clip?”

I don't think so.

tabriz_balasi

The girl got involved in politics when IRI put her father in prison. Do you think she could just go on like normal with that? 

Iagree with Frsenjoon and SamSam 100 %. The problem is the regime that does this to people. We should not expect kids to pretend all is well. 

If regime acts like thugs and goons this is the result. The greatest enemy of Islam in Iran is Islamic Republic. The IRI drove more people away from Islam than anyone.

Disgusting...

it is disgusting to see a seven year old girl getting involved in politics. and even if some one else putting her into this position, it's even worse.  we iranians should grow up and realize that in order to change iran, we have to change ourselves.  i don't think you can find anyone sain that actually enjoys how the Mulla Regime runs Iran.  but what are we going to do? some of the alternatives are worse than IR.  we don't really have a good alternative.  America wants to put in a Regime in the name of freedome to devide iran into many smaller counteries.  there is no good alternatives, and NO Democracy is not a system of Government, it is a state of mind.  people of iran should become democratic, mentaly, in order to have a Democratic government.

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

Ignorance is repulsive not this tormented girl

This kid cant fking ignore the plight of her family,,this kid wethere tries or not cant close her eyes to miseries all around her...brainwashed or not this kid is reality of her environment and you choose to close your eyes and use one dimensional cliche crap to call her psychotic patient... You fking ignore the freeking 20 million kids going under routin daily brainwashing as would be martyrs or shahid raheh felestine and come here spewing this elitist shit about child abuse. yes true i wouldn,t let my kid be affected by my daily ups and downs but what the heck would you do if you have to tell the kid that her mom or dad is in jail? what the hell would you do when the little girl feels discrimination every day of her life in school or street... blind ignorant phonies

Path of Kiaan Resurrection of True Iran Hoisting Drafshe Kaviaan //iranianidentity.blogspot.com //www.youtube.com/user/samsamsia

what the hell r u ppl talking about?

When u have your dad in prison getting sodomized every morning for political disobedience, when your mother is crying all the time grieving her husband's suffering, you dont exactly see the family's little girl playing with her dolls.

"Child abuse" is when a kid grows up in a society where violence is institutionalized by law. The kid witnesses and learns.  

Extremely Heartbreaking.....

Childhood LOST, Completely!

Her Incredible Articulation and Conceptualization of Reality, completely OUT of her natural range, would take her to some dangerous territories! I'm very worried for her safety...

Using kids

You should never use your children to make a political point. That is true for this child or for the parents of a young basiji.

Agreed; so will IRI now stop executing children? I figure killing children is a sort of "political point". Will they stop child execution now? Or does this only apply to people They put up. Mollahs get to both rape and murder children.

This is child abuse

Let her grow up... let her have a childhood...let her choose...give her a chance to be herself.

This video is child abuse. 

ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING AND REPULSIVE!!!!

Indoctrinate this child with any ideology. 

THIS IS SERIOUS CHILD ABUSE!

ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING AND REPULSIVE!!!!!!!!

Uh......yeah: I remember

Uh......yeah: I remember similar YouTube videos of American kids badmouthing then President Bush. 

So did folks say it was bad news for the Republican party or the United States? Well, they said lots of things, to be perfectly frank.

As for the kids in our family, here in the US and back in Iran, they have a lot better things to do with themselves. And we certainly don't waste our time putting them up to things like this. 

Fred, I suppose another child is filming this?

You should never use your children to make a political point. That is true for this child or for the parents of a young basiji.

Childhood Lost

Every child is entitled to a normal childhood. Hers was taken away from her.

Damn those who took it away from her.

Mahsa's walk on her private minefield

I find this girl in dire need of professional psychiatric help. Her admiring audience, in my opinion, is beyond hope of recovery.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

what the hell is this?

shows only the irresponsible surroundings she grew up in, there is no limit to stupidity of some grown ups

 Fesenjoon

I wonder why we are "andar kham-e ye kocheh"? what do you mean by that, you think every 7 years old should be like her in Kansas or in Iran? Get Real!

u know what's funny?

Compare this to the average 7 year old kid in Kansas or Ohio. I dont know whether to laugh or to cry.

The good & bad

This is bad news for the Islamist Rapist Republic and all its paid for supporters.

This is excellent news for Iran, Iranians and freedom lovers.

I Just wish before being forced to be such a wise articulate grownup, this beauty had a chance to be a kid. Better days are ahead.

میان خنده میگریم

Growing up fast and furious

What an incredible girl. Who could imagine such a young child would understand so much. Painful to watch. And yet oddly positive and defiant. She's not giving up hope. She's not alone.

Is this the new Neda.....?

..or is this child exploitation?

I remember sending missiles against Saddam Hussein's palace when I was a kid but never would I be forced to utter my parents' political views.
