I went to expose my son to opportunitites for practicing and showing off physical strength and moves. The first half of the show I wasn't considering the question of abuse, I was just enjoying their feats, then a juggler, it seemed like one of at least 100, dropped a prop. Fear and sadness seemed to fill the room and all of our hearts, or was it just mine? The rest of the show I spent wondering if she would be hurt or even killed for her mistake... Not sad….sick…
