that's not abuse. abuse is when you ignore those kind of behaviors, causing the kid to grow up "broken" inside, and eventually become a dysfunctional person when she finally finds out that she doesn't own the whole world at age 18.
Why do you believe everything tabloids say??? And anyways, you slowed it down so it looked like she was holding on to her longer. Were you like not disciplined or something as a child? You can tell Kate's grip is firm, but it is not aggressive at all. Yeesh, waste your time bashing someone who deserves it.
that's wasn't so bad she just have discipline for her kids if she didn't they would do what they want and all she did was pull her on her shoulder ! she didn't beat her because Kate wouldn't do that she just make sure that they don't hit each other and if she didn't do that to Alexis then they would have been fighting on the stage and that would made her look like a bad parent and we all know Kate can be a BITCH at times but having 8 kids is allot to handle and Jon left so she do the best !!!!
Get a life jibberjabberz!!!, it´s obvious u don´t have kids. I bet you don´t last half an hour with 8 kids. besides, you talking and posting "abuse" stuff, and what about you?? stalk much!...??? You must love the show, you posted like a hundred videos, you tweet!
abuse.... god dammid. is parent not allowed to do any kind of discipline in this days? fine, have your self spoiled little brats who are gonna start smacking you around some day, because of lack of respect.
And dont say the child deserved a warning first because warnings should NEVER have to be given when a child is doing something that they KNOW is wrong like HITTING their brother......
We all should care enough to properly discipline our kids, even if we are tired or stressed, like a woman with 8 kids and a crappy husband
I am relieved to see the majority of people here agree that this is DEF. NOT child abuse. I am 31 and was just defending my generation today because someone stated my generation is basically lazy at parenting and discipline.
Discipline is exactly what she did, at the appropiate time. Now i agree she is a mega bitch, BUT that said, THIS WAS PERFECT PARENTING 101.
I'm surprized non of those have actually really let her have it. Kate has had her 15 minutes of fame and I hope she never gets her own TV show again. I have seen and heard enough about his woman. Get a job Kate....maybe Walmart is her type of place to work !!!
HOw can that be abuse alexis was misbehaving a true mom should discipline there children! come on guys! Im 10 yrs old but i think i have working brain than people who did this things!
this is no where near abuse! she just turned the child to get her to look her, to telll her to keep her hands to herself, if there's anything near abuse in this video, it's alexis shoving collin!
What an amazing mother. Those children are so well behaved and so beautiful. It must be so hard to change so many diapers and feed so many hungry mouths. So much work and so little time. All of it done by one person. No help from anyone. Writing book, giving lectures and appearing on TV and doing it with no help. . If you believe this. then you are suffering a delusion.
For crying out loud, she pulled the girl's shoulder. People are acting like she pulled one of her limbs off! Here's a newsflash...she could have spanked her child and it wouldn't be abuse. Whether you find spanking acceptable or not, that's how many parents discipline a child when they misbehave. Good grief, a parent can't even touch their child these days without being accused of abuse.
it was alexis' fault - she was playing up and all kate was doing was telling her that doing that isn't right...there's no point in telling her way after she did the action because alexis would forget what she did
This is not abuse my mom does that a lot all she did was turn her around and tell her to stop I'm sure every mom has don't that. She only grabs her arm because she is overeacting I always grab my arm but it never hurts
I'm sorry, but as a mother that has raised 2 great kids, this was not abuse. You have to reign your kids in now and then, and sometimes you have to get their attention quickly. Kate did just fine here, she spoke firmly and got her point across. I'm not a huge fan of the Gosselins, and yeah, I think Kate can be a royal bitch sometimes...but be honest here. It's not abuse!
Abuse is causing physical injury to the point of leaving some kind of mark. You would probably call the police if you saw someone giving their child a swat on the butt as a reprimand. God you are lame af.
alexis will have mind scaring mental trauma because of this crazy bitch mwahaha can't wait to see her on the streets in a few months lololololololololololololololololololololololololol
@86am LOL bitch please, there is no way in hell that would have dislocated her shoulder. you people really are becoming pussies if you think that was abuse.
I personally do not see this as abusive. She was stern with her, but not too harsh and the whole purpose of her grabbing her shoulder was to redirect her child's attention to her. You can't expect your child to listen to you if you just sit back and say "don't do that". Of course Alexis is going to grab her shoulder...kids over-dramatize things a lot. That does not mean that it hurt her. I had a lot harsher punishment then that when I was a child.
dude, i can't stand the whole john and kate thing and dislike them both.... but you are creepily obsessed with them, kate in particular. it's just odd and you look kind of infatuated with her. and this isn't abuse, and saying it is downplays actual occurances of abuse. what is wrong with you?
C'mon people, you, americans, that's why your children are becoming sensless vague, you don't even dare to squeeze a shoulder cause you call it "abuse"!!! hahahahah lol
@yofatimapimentel um, if you look through the comments, pretty much NO ONE here thinks this is abuse other than the creator of the video. but any chance you get to do the whole cliche rip on americans schtick, i guess you're gonna take it huh? yawn.
@JIBBERJABBERZ what don't you understand about parenting? This is what parenting is about when you have 8 freaking kids....until you have 8 freaking kids don't talk about abuse...she grabbed her shoulder and she Alexis then rubbed her shoulder because when parents grab you like that it hurts...if someone pinch's you it's gonna hurt that doesn't mean it's abuse...wow your a pussy
What did you people not understand about kids it's only abuse when the parent is really angry not that she didn't even do anything she gave a warning...wow this is nothing....someone explain why you think this is abuse???
Are you guys serious? Clearly many of you have never dealth with kids. You can't just say "no" and give them a bad look, you have to get their attention. And when there is 8 of them, it is even harder to get their attention. Kate didn't even grab Alexis hard. When a child gets yelled at they get cranky, and they exaggerate everything. Trus me, this is not child abuse. Find someone else to bother!

How was that abuse?? To be honest, even if that was "abuse", i wouldn't blame her. They are adorable, but those kids are rude towards her, talk back to her, and are overall bad as hell! How else do you expect her to discipline them?
Yes it was a 'pinch' technically but that tone was a warning. Do as I say or suffer when no one's looking. Any mother knows the tone. They might not beat their kids but it's still a warning. I do believe that Kate abuses them though.
I hate this PC pussy ass world today.If me and my sibs were fighting,my mom would have thunked us upside the head and then make us say thank you.We turned out fine.
My mom has done way worse....IN PUBLIC. Those kids would be crazy if she didn't discipline them at all.
And if she did beat them as much as you are making it out to be, they'd be too terrified to be out of line. It's people like you that make me sick. And it's also people like you that ruined this lovely family by stirring up rumors and lies.
Who that has commented on this video has eight children?! Answer me that! You have no idea what this mother has to go through. Do you know her personally? No. The only difference between her and many other mothers like her is because she is surrounded by cameras. Alexis was shoving her brother and Kate wanted to stop it before it got out of hand, especially while on national television. Stop judging her like you know her. If you want to criticize her, have valid reasons please.
This is not abuse, go to other countries and look at how they discipline their kids. I bet those kids would like to get pulled like this rather than get whipped by a bamboo stick, wire or whatever else they get hit with. Parents today are too pussy to handle their business with their kids, thats why today's youth is all messed up. Parents need to check their kids.
Everyone needs to calm down -___- I'm neither supporting her nor am I against her but when I was younger my mom squeezed my shoulder and I even got spanked a few times. Did I deserve it? The hell I did! Am I scarred for life and a problematic teenager? uhmm...NO! There are many kinds of discipline and Kate can do it whichever way she pleases. You guys all have to butt out of how she disciplines her children. HELLO?! They aren't yours!
Lol, this is stupid... This is not abuse. Kate just touches Alexis to get her attention. If you knew anything about child abuse, you would react on the real thing and not this.
that's not child abuse at all. Alexis was pushing her brother and Kate pulled her away. sure, it maybe hurt. but she's like, what, 3 years old here? 4? if she just told Alexis to stop, would she? no, because she's a small child. she has to learn discipline. and all Kate did was grab her shoulder and pull her away! i'm not even a supporter of Kate, i don't follow her. but this isn't child abuse. real child abuse is much, much worse and awful than *this*.
O geeze this is dumb, its not abuse. Its one thing to discipline your child n another to abuse. Lexi was being bad. I was spanked as a child when I didnt listen or was being disrespectful, n I turned out just fine.
Alexis didn't complain.. she was pushing Collin for heaven's sake. Kate putting her hand on Lexi's shoulder doesn't mean instant "child abuse." She needs to discipline her kids somehow. Kate loves Alexis, she would never intend to hurt her.
She was hurting her. Kate grabbed her pretty tightly. You can tell by the way Alexis tries to pry Kates hand off her shoulder. Any child only being touched on the arm would know better than to remove it. Seemed to be a reaction to the grip. Where is child services? I mean, really, America. Enjoy exploitive television all you want, fine, but not when it involves kids. That is a trainwreck speeding fast towards Eff'd Up Kidsville.
oh em gee all she did was grab her shoulder. it's crazy how obsessed people become with her mothering skills but yet don't pay attention to people like Andrea Yates who drowned all of her kids. The media pays attention to things they need not. she had to get her attention somehow, she was screaming & hitting collins [if i'm not mistaken] she's not punching her int he face or beating the crap out of her. wow.. iwonder how your kids act? ibet they will grow up to abuse you! lol.
Look,people,I hate Jon and Kate as much as the next guy,but the kids I love. Don'y you people have anything better to do then critisize other people. If the government thought it was child-abuse,the show would have gone off air a LONG time ago and the kids taken away from Jon and Kate. So please,KNOCK IT OFF. I'm 13 and I know better
oh what a monster.... haha this is nothing.. eventually parents wont even be able to even touch their kids at all without people being like "YOURE DOING THAT WRONG!! *calls child protective services*
Anyone who claims this as abuse, should be thankful they weren't born in earlier years that would make this video clip look like a candy store on a sunny day.
And you can obviously tell, this is a mother telling her child to behave and stop bothering her brother.
You can hear the "mother" tone. Every mother has it, and it comes out when you're trying to discipline your child.
That's stupid... that's not abude that's totally discipline... If a child get's out of hand you discipline them.. by lecture or sternness. Haven't any of you heard of timeouts or spankings or etc. discipline your children or their walk all ovr you.
i am not a kate supporter in the least i think her and jon are horrible parents and more into attention then anything i hate kate especially, but i must say this doesn't look like abuse kids rub their arms or what ever was grabbed all the time for sympathy and no i am not a supporter of child abuse so don't even go there, whatever happens when cameras are off i don't see i am only saying what i see in this clip. but i do believe in abuse that kate gives but i think its more mental than anything
then why was Alexis rubbing her shoulder the entire time? It's astonishing how you Kate supporters "support" child abuse. But, if Jon were to do the same thing, you would have screamed foul.
@JIBBERJABBERZ oh please...grabbing a childs arm is not child abuse...now if the child was being dragged on the ground by her arm then yes it would b child abuse...but bcus alexis was not really harmed(yes the grabbing may have hurt but mothers also spank naughty children and we dont call that child abuse) it was not child abuse but just simply discipline...
Discipline doesn't involved squeezing your daughter shoulder on National Television. Imagine the crap these kids go through when NO CAMERAS are around. Look at Aleixs rubbing her shoulder... Look at the cold stare she is giving Kate. LOL
@JlBBERJABBERZ Me being a child not too long ago.................. there is a key word in all of this ACTING kids KNOW how to make adults look bad. I still cry if my mom hits me even though I am 16 and it isn't hard AT ALL hahah
this is not abuse.... people just say it is because its kate whyos doing it. i bet every parent who actuall gives their kids some cort of discipline do this.... alexis was pushing and shoving collin she needed to learn that you dont hit people. by the way most children grab their arms and pretend like they are extremly hurt when actually its not that bad. little kids know how to manipulate people like that.
Holy shit calm down, it's called discipline. Everytime I did something bad, I got a smack. That taught me not to do that again or else I will get in trouble. And she didn't give Kate a cold stare, Alexis was just taught to look at her mother when she is trying to tell them something.
Watch Walking In The Woods Episode.. Look at how Alexis reacts when Jon takes the stick away - she CRINGES in FEAR - that he is gonna hit her with it!! No way does a 2 y/old just go sit in a corner because Mommy said so - did yours!!? These kids are horrible - ALL of them.. very sad because they are just repeating what they know - they hit because they HAVE BEEN HIT!! any moron should be able to see that!
KATE IS NOT BITCH she doesn't have a favourite she loves them all in their own way Alexis was misbeaving so she simply did what a mother does tells her to stop it
Hey, I've seen you around...on blogs, I think I even commented on your blog before. Great Job exposing this bitch. I've heard things about a TLC reporter or nanny telling the true story ...can you give me the link? Or what exactly to search for
There's abusive body language, abusive tone of voice, you can do so much damage emotionally, without ever touching a person. Kids don't have a voice to express how terrible it makes them feel, I bet they NEVER feel emotionally safe around her, she gives ME creeps.
I feel so bad for those kids, she's a horrible, vile narcissist.
Please note that the kids probably had to sit very long for this interview, which they wouldn't even have to do but is their "job" b/c Kate has made them "working kids." For years they've been through countless interviews, dragged on planes for promos for the show, countless photo shoots, etc.
So since the kids are doing all of this due their parents' desire, (as they are not of age to understand and give consent to being stars of a reality show), Kate should have much more patience!
Listen, I think you people are getting too touchy. She moved Alexis away from Collin. Alexis wasn't crying in pain, she just touched the spot. You move any child away from where they want to be they look upset and grab the spot you touched. She has been on TV for years. If she was that abusive we would have seen it come out. You would think that she could control herself for a short interview. People, worry about your own family.
You don't think shes abusive? There are nanny reports of her spanking the kids with spoons...we see lg. mixing spoons in the door of Kate's car. There is always an oddly misplaced red spoon in scenes during the show.
You can tell something is off with the way she treats them. What does a FIVE year old do thats bad enough to warrent a spanking with a spoon?? She has to inflict the most pain...
@JlBBERJABBERZ did you talk to alexis? did she say " no jibberjabberz, your right, she beats us so i have to stay quiet." NO. i find it very uneasy that you speak for children you've never met or spoke too. you totally feed into media and propaganda, just like a village idiot. its amusing that you think you know someones life from tv clips and interviews. wow, the way people pry these days is ridiculous. go LIVE A LIFE. OF YOUR OWN !
@JlBBERJABBERZ No child could be used to abuse, think about it. Kate just pulled her shoulder to get Alexis to look her in the eye. Wow. People like you put incorrect ideas in other peoples heads and that's why Kate has so many haters. That's not abuse. I bet that didn't even hurt.
Yes, but on national television? I dont care if you think its okay to hurt a kid's arm that's little, but It does not matter. You can't humiliate a kid like that.
I'm starting to think Dr. Lillian Glass is right...Kate's favorites are Collin and Hannah. Collin bc he's "mr. helper boy" and hannah b/c she loves doing laundry. As you can see, Collin wasn't upset and screaming but kate grabs Alexis' arm
Perfect. Kate is such an evil bitch. This is also the same video where mady is denied water while Kate drinks and when mady says I like daddy better....and where kate says to mady when we get home "youre getting a spanking"
this is not the right way to discipline kids. she became a monster.

My mom has done way worse....IN PUBLIC. Those kids would be crazy if she didn't discipline them at all.
And if she did beat them as much as you are making it out to be, they'd be too terrified to be out of line. It's people like you that make me sick. And it's also people like you that ruined this lovely family by stirring up rumors and lies.

Who that has commented on this video has eight children?! Answer me that! You have no idea what this mother has to go through. Do you know her personally? No. The only difference between her and many other mothers like her is because she is surrounded by cameras. Alexis was shoving her brother and Kate wanted to stop it before it got out of hand, especially while on national television. Stop judging her like you know her. If you want to criticize her, have valid reasons please.

not abuse.
BabyFarley91 1 year ago 29
This is not abuse, go to other countries and look at how they discipline their kids. I bet those kids would like to get pulled like this rather than get whipped by a bamboo stick, wire or whatever else they get hit with. Parents today are too pussy to handle their business with their kids, thats why today's youth is all messed up. Parents need to check their kids.

Everyone needs to calm down -___- I'm neither supporting her nor am I against her but when I was younger my mom squeezed my shoulder and I even got spanked a few times. Did I deserve it? The hell I did! Am I scarred for life and a problematic teenager? uhmm...NO! There are many kinds of discipline and Kate can do it whichever way she pleases. You guys all have to butt out of how she disciplines her children. HELLO?! They aren't yours!

sorry to say the usa is full of terrible mothers who live on welfare in crappy houses and ACTUALLY treat their kids like shit.
I think this is the problem , look at when the kids started getting out of control...when we stopped kickin their ass.
when I was young the only thing that stopped me from doin bad stuff was the fear!!!
kids have no fear anymore
kate is a good mother maybe not a great wife but she is a great mom.most are just jealous they couldn't make money off there kids !

Lol, this is stupid... This is not abuse. Kate just touches Alexis to get her attention. If you knew anything about child abuse, you would react on the real thing and not this.
ArixLemonix 1 year ago
that's not child abuse at all. Alexis was pushing her brother and Kate pulled her away. sure, it maybe hurt. but she's like, what, 3 years old here? 4? if she just told Alexis to stop, would she? no, because she's a small child. she has to learn discipline. and all Kate did was grab her shoulder and pull her away! i'm not even a supporter of Kate, i don't follow her. but this isn't child abuse. real child abuse is much, much worse and awful than *this*.

O geeze this is dumb, its not abuse. Its one thing to discipline your child n another to abuse. Lexi was being bad. I was spanked as a child when I didnt listen or was being disrespectful, n I turned out just fine.
kate89105 1 year ago
Alexis didn't complain.. she was pushing Collin for heaven's sake. Kate putting her hand on Lexi's shoulder doesn't mean instant "child abuse." She needs to discipline her kids somehow. Kate loves Alexis, she would never intend to hurt her.

She was hurting her. Kate grabbed her pretty tightly. You can tell by the way Alexis tries to pry Kates hand off her shoulder. Any child only being touched on the arm would know better than to remove it. Seemed to be a reaction to the grip. Where is child services? I mean, really, America. Enjoy exploitive television all you want, fine, but not when it involves kids. That is a trainwreck speeding fast towards Eff'd Up Kidsville.

oh em gee all she did was grab her shoulder. it's crazy how obsessed people become with her mothering skills but yet don't pay attention to people like Andrea Yates who drowned all of her kids. The media pays attention to things they need not. she had to get her attention somehow, she was screaming & hitting collins [if i'm not mistaken] she's not punching her int he face or beating the crap out of her. wow.. iwonder how your kids act? ibet they will grow up to abuse you! lol.

Anyone who claims this as abuse, should be thankful they weren't born in earlier years that would make this video clip look like a candy store on a sunny day.
And you can obviously tell, this is a mother telling her child to behave and stop bothering her brother.
You can hear the "mother" tone. Every mother has it, and it comes out when you're trying to discipline your child.

That's stupid... that's not abude that's totally discipline... If a child get's out of hand you discipline them.. by lecture or sternness. Haven't any of you heard of timeouts or spankings or etc. discipline your children or their walk all ovr you.

i am not a kate supporter in the least i think her and jon are horrible parents and more into attention then anything i hate kate especially, but i must say this doesn't look like abuse kids rub their arms or what ever was grabbed all the time for sympathy and no i am not a supporter of child abuse so don't even go there, whatever happens when cameras are off i don't see i am only saying what i see in this clip. but i do believe in abuse that kate gives but i think its more mental than anything

then why was Alexis rubbing her shoulder the entire time? It's astonishing how you Kate supporters "support" child abuse. But, if Jon were to do the same thing, you would have screamed foul.

@JIBBERJABBERZ oh please...grabbing a childs arm is not child abuse...now if the child was being dragged on the ground by her arm then yes it would b child abuse...but bcus alexis was not really harmed(yes the grabbing may have hurt but mothers also spank naughty children and we dont call that child abuse) it was not child abuse but just simply discipline...

this is not abuse.... people just say it is because its kate whyos doing it. i bet every parent who actuall gives their kids some cort of discipline do this.... alexis was pushing and shoving collin she needed to learn that you dont hit people. by the way most children grab their arms and pretend like they are extremly hurt when actually its not that bad. little kids know how to manipulate people like that.

Holy shit calm down, it's called discipline. Everytime I did something bad, I got a smack. That taught me not to do that again or else I will get in trouble. And she didn't give Kate a cold stare, Alexis was just taught to look at her mother when she is trying to tell them something.

No way does a 2 y/old just go sit in a corner because Mommy said so - did yours!!? These kids are horrible - ALL of them.. very sad because they are just repeating what they know - they hit because they HAVE BEEN HIT!! any moron should be able to see that!

Amen!
There's abusive body language, abusive tone of voice, you can do so much damage emotionally, without ever touching a person. Kids don't have a voice to express how terrible it makes them feel, I bet they NEVER feel emotionally safe around her, she gives ME creeps.
I feel so bad for those kids, she's a horrible, vile narcissist.

TwilightGirl647 1 year ago
Please note that the kids probably had to sit very long for this interview, which they wouldn't even have to do but is their "job" b/c Kate has made them "working kids." For years they've been through countless interviews, dragged on planes for promos for the show, countless photo shoots, etc.
So since the kids are doing all of this due their parents' desire, (as they are not of age to understand and give consent to being stars of a reality show), Kate should have much more patience!
musicfanzo 2 years ago
Listen, I think you people are getting too touchy. She moved Alexis away from Collin. Alexis wasn't crying in pain, she just touched the spot. You move any child away from where they want to be they look upset and grab the spot you touched. She has been on TV for years. If she was that abusive we would have seen it come out. You would think that she could control herself for a short interview. People, worry about your own family.
Shelffish 2 years ago 24
You don't think shes abusive? There are nanny reports of her spanking the kids with spoons...we see lg. mixing spoons in the door of Kate's car. There is always an oddly misplaced red spoon in scenes during the show.
You can tell something is off with the way she treats them. What does a FIVE year old do thats bad enough to warrent a spanking with a spoon?? She has to inflict the most pain...

@JlBBERJABBERZ did you talk to alexis? did she say " no jibberjabberz, your right, she beats us so i have to stay quiet." NO. i find it very uneasy that you speak for children you've never met or spoke too. you totally feed into media and propaganda, just like a village idiot. its amusing that you think you know someones life from tv clips and interviews. wow, the way people pry these days is ridiculous. go LIVE A LIFE.
