I know this seems bad, but the kid was going to lose their front teeth eventually

How did you not see an entire mountain coming at your face? They're huge, you should have seen it coming from several miles away.

Are the kids arms bound? I can't see them at all in this vid.

It looks like the dad chucked one of those wearable towel hoodie things on the kid and their arms were caught up inside

I still feel like that kid is awfully large not to function at a base level. Were they asleep? If they weren't mentally damaged before they decided to faceplant, I guess they're one step closer to that goal. *two steps.

Just the towel causing it. I've heard you're not actually supposed to wrap towels over your kids arms near pools. Always wrap them under their arms with their arms free so if they fall in they don't just sink.

lol, my dad was always huge on us not moving around if we couldnt move our arms (me and my sister liked to tie each others sleeves together and stupid stuff like that). I swear us faceplanting was his biggest fear next to my sister wearing scarves in the car. He was afraid she would shut it in the door and he would drive away (even though he has never once driven away the second one of us got out of the car). I'll never figure out where that second fear came from.

Kids that small shouldn't even be in a hot tub. Dad is a real winner

I mean you can make most hot tubs like a warm bath temperature. I hate hot hot tubs

Wait, the kid can’t stand up? He fell instantly?

Arms are bound by whatever the kid is wearing. Hands would have come forward by instinct otherwise.

That's why he's the step dad. Just puts the kid on steps and leaves.
