Who did this.An european president hits a child? I dont beleive that a president from european countries can do this type of shame work.
What's the exact circumstances? How old is the child? Was it premeditated by the president? Is he known for this kind of action? What would you have done in this situation? What can this be avoided? - on a larger scale! Too many children die at the hands of their parents where I live! That's BAD! your story is "news"!
I have no idea if this is true or not, apparently, it's in dispute. He denies hitting the child, and claims the video is a fake. I found a YouTube video which was most likely, created by one of his supporters. I've tried translating it, but it's a little rough, the title comes out to "Traian Basescu did not hit a child with his fist in the mouth - Special - Full report" and the description says "That video posted by the Guardian is one of the lowest fake question, my friendly message for those who believe that video as the one true: `scoteti Brothers will head the back and open your eyes well, escape from the box you live." One thing that did make me curious, is if this was videotaped back in 2004, why would they wait until now to release it? On the other hand, I found this article where in 2007 he was very rough with a women reporter, and that is confirmed. I don't know, I guess the people of Romania will figure it out...
I support him. Hit moar children! It'll teach them to be disrespectful to the mutha f--kin president! Sarcasm over the internets.
