My question is, how much candy did they have to bribe that kid with to get him to agree to be wheeled around, unable to do anything, while strangers took his picture for amusement, all while his parents had total control over when they would let him out.

Hopefully, he understood how awesome he looked was reward enough.

[–]Bro_Hawkins 45 points46 points ago

We'll ask his therapist in 15 years.

Chuck-e-Cheese for 8 hours the next day would have worked as compensation for me 20 years ago. Dunno what the equivalent is now.

[–]LetsHavePun 12 points13 points ago

... same equivalent.

[–]gijane480 5 points6 points ago

but the cost of chuck-e-cheese has increased exponentially

[–]temporaryninja 4 points5 points ago

I think he's using the Jolly Rancher/Skee-ball round index.

[–]tirionfive 4 points5 points ago

Don't mention Jolly ranchers on reddit. You WILL regret it.

[–]Warpedme 4 points5 points ago

Jolly ranchers don't mean candy around these parts

[–]countrybuhbuh -1 points0 points ago

I'm afraid to ask but is it anything like this

[–]crazedover 3 points4 points ago

No, it's this

[–]GeekyAine 2 points3 points ago

I wound up at the bottom of that thread. I had no words. I could only borrow inspiration from an HP Lovecraft tale. It was so dark, so deep...

"I shall die calmly like a German, in the black and forgotten depths. This demoniac laughter which I hear as I write comes only from my own weakening brain. So I will carefully don my suit and walk boldly up the steps into the primal shrine, that silent secret of unfathomed waters and uncounted years."

[–]countrybuhbuh 1 point2 points ago

Well now I know and know is half the battle

[–]ace_invader 0 points1 point ago

What a twist!

[–]gonzal61 -1 points0 points ago

someone with a kid answer this!

[–]jogga 8 points9 points ago

I really hope he has't seen enough of the movie to understand how awesome he looks. So it's a choice between the emotional scarring of watching Silence of the Lambs as a 6 year old or, or the emotional scarring of being tied up and wheeled around town with out a good explanation as a 6 year old. Whatever it is, I wish him luck.

[–]guignoleyes 0 points1 point ago

I don't think he had to have seen it yet. I just mean he hopefully understands that it's something a lot of people appreciate the costume. I mean, hell, if he's at a convention (which he obviously is) he's seen tons of other cosplay and knows he's not really being tied up and held against his will.

But kids are simple: he probably was excited to dress up so they picked something out of the ordinary that he may or may not know of, or his parents paid him off pretty well to make him stay still while in costume.

But either way, if he has seen it, I'm pretty sure for a 5-6 year old, Silence of the Lambs isn't even very understandable, let alone scary. My dad made my sister and I watch Chucky at that age, and that's far more terrifying for children than a psychological thriller where there's not even much bloodshed.

[–]jogga 0 points1 point ago

I didn't pick on the convention context until you mentioned it, that's true the kid is probably getting a lot of positive attention. I'm 25 and still can't watch Chucky without nightmares, but I guess if the kid has a strong stomach and the parents can FF through the face-mask and the weird Buffalo Bill stuff... it's only mildly terrifying.

[–]Keabo 0 points1 point ago

If I got to sit back while someone wheels me around and take me around to get candy, I would happily oblige. Worst part about trick or treating is how tired your legs get.

[–]forgettableme 0 points1 point ago

Considering my daughter is practically begging me to get her a strait jacket... not much I'm sure.

[–]themooninthesky -1 points0 points ago

I probably would have loved it. Although, I went as Leia from Return of the Jedi when she was disguised as the Bounty Hunter when I was 6. I asked my Dad to help me make the costume.

Then again, kids like doing things that are kind of 'odd' and they get positive attention. So if he'd been to a convention before, and seen the cool costumes? Probably wouldn't have been that hard.

[–]Gargilius -1 points0 points ago

...who said he had to be bribed? it is not as if he could do anything about it now, couldn't he?

EDIT: ...and who said that the adults wheeling him around are his parents?

[–]morgueanna 26 points27 points ago

Fantastic way to ensure your kid doesn't get away from you in a crowd.

sorry about the blur

[–]TmlzMiso -1 points0 points ago

The kid's face is like: I didn't sign up for this.

But in all seriousness this just seems cruel, the kid isn't enjoying the attention at all...

[–]direshot 4 points5 points ago

Ha! This was at ACE 2012. Poor kid...

[–]blastedramen 2 points3 points ago

this was at The Albuquerque comic expo, i saw him in the costume contest!

[–]MgrLtCaptCmmdrBalls 5 points6 points ago

Didn't a guy on facebook get in a lot of trouble for doing this to his daughter with tape and then posting it? He's in some deep shit. This is hilarious though but what a funny country we live in.

[–]renako 5 points6 points ago

Yea, this was for a convention though, not a punishment.

Well, depends on the kid I guess...

[–]Train22nowhere 3 points4 points ago

Think the main difference is the open faced mask. He's in no danger of having trouble breathing and can still talk and convey if he's uncomfortable.

That and this seems like fun at a convention and the other one looks like a punishment.

[–]catsfive 1 point2 points ago

It's OK, kid was male

[–]StealthNade 2 points3 points ago

what con?

[–]renako 5 points6 points ago

ACE in Albuquerque, NM I believe.

[–]captstix 2 points3 points ago

Not sure if child abuse...

[–]_prefs 0 points1 point ago

It's a win/win situation!

[–]Fajita_Beef 2 points3 points ago

Ha ha I was there that was at the Albuquerque comic expo

[–]J_Jammer 2 points3 points ago

As all children should be handled.

Fantastic idea. Almost as awesome as the child-Thor I saw at Comicpalooza.

[–]Copywrites_Everythin 1 point2 points ago

Tired of all the kids in uninspired costumes? Tired of all the generic serial killers running around? BAM! The Hannibal Lecter mini-costume is here for you! Transform your boring ass kid into the iconic legend of deranged and psychopathic serial killers. The mini-costume also doubles over as a child restrain method; disregard wild child, acquire Hello Kity plushies.

[–]trinitysun 1 point2 points ago

Finally, the perfect explanation for tying up your child

[–]Niobium41 1 point2 points ago

This is like.. the opposite of Toddlers in Tiaras.

[–]C_K_B 1 point2 points ago

Parents take note.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Every other parent wondering "did they let their child watch that movie??"

[–]I_promised_myself 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, there's no way that kid is actually a fan of the movie...is there?

[–]Scarsthathurt 1 point2 points ago

And then it turns out he wasn't cosplaying and was just actually chained there by abusive parents

[–]b00ger 1 point2 points ago

What to do whn your kid is a biter...

[–]Pinklizard26 1 point2 points ago

So what happens if the parents get distracted at booth and forget little Dr. Lector?

[–]Shitty_Sitcom_Writer 2 points3 points ago

Bob and Sandy want nothing more than to be parents, but things take a turn for the strange when the child they adopted... is a cannibal! Can these newlyweds balance their busy lives and civilize a cannibal at the same time? With Jason Alexander as Dr. Kreutzfeldt, and from the creators of "Bite Me" and "Look Who's Stalking" comes the delectable new comedy, "You Are What You Eat!"

[–]TheAthiestOfAtheists 3 points4 points ago

I.. don't get the reference. Seems vaguely familiar. Could someone explain?

Here you go. One of the best horror films, you should really see it.

[–]seekingpolaris -1 points0 points ago

Haha, I actually thought he was cosplaying the youngest brother from Malcom in the middle from the episode where Malcom and Reese tie him up.

[–]xteve 1 point2 points ago

This shows at once the ridiculousness of cosplay -- he's not going to be able to do anything but be dressed up -- and the hideousness of parents who make their children indulge bizarre hobbies.

[–]etienne_valejo 0 points1 point ago

Either that or we got that tantrum problem solved.

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

Babysitting win!

[–]PENDRAGON23 0 points1 point ago

that may be kidnapping win.

[–]SoDangAgitated 0 points1 point ago

Let's HOPE that was cosplay

[–]PidgeottosCrew 0 points1 point ago

Definitely one time you can get away with over-constraining your kids.

[–]BrianFlanagan 0 points1 point ago

[–]wildporn 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheMediumPanda 0 points1 point ago

[–]ROFLWAWFUL 0 points1 point ago

Don't try to pinch his cheek. He's a biter.

[–]jostler57 0 points1 point ago

They dress him up in "cosplay" every day.

[–]Roasted_Goat_Penis 0 points1 point ago

I tried several times to speak very quickly, all the Silence Of The Lambs, this man is a man. I'm jealous of the trip, dizziness, sad, interested in a blanket to construct the sender. Bass has been opened. Can anybody tell me this? Sir Anthony Hopkins plays a crazy law, it is true, but can only guess that the source can sing. So true. Lemons may as well have folded under the weight.

[–]kuhlazo 0 points1 point ago

That's a great cover up for tying your kid down to keep him from running all over the place.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

anywhere else and i'm sure that's probably like...5 crimes in 1

[–]amazoncon 0 points1 point ago

This SUCKS. No kid this age should be familiar with that movie.

[–]remhawk99 0 points1 point ago

[–]wicketr 0 points1 point ago

You can't get a kid to sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time. I can't imagine him being tied up like that for more than an hour without losing his shit. Like a cat in a mailbox type ferocious insanity.

[–]typon 0 points1 point ago

This is lovely. The proper costume for any cannibal

[–]f_leaver 0 points1 point ago

Don't you mean child abuse win?

[–]mikojack 0 points1 point ago

His eyes reminds me of Dr. Lecter.

[–]jokr004 0 points1 point ago

Ok, there's no way that kid's not confused as fuck right there

[–]BringingTheHeat 0 points1 point ago

Now stay put, so mommy can go have fun.

[–]rawrgs 0 points1 point ago

It was his parents' best day ever. They finally had an excuse to tie up and muzzle their hellion child.

[–]jdrawesome 0 points1 point ago

Heh, I saw you guys at the convention, liked your cosplay better than the mechs!

[–]Malcriao 0 points1 point ago

Haha! Capital idea. I'll take 3.

[–]jazinta101 0 points1 point ago

Cosplay or kiddnapping

[–]la_Brea 0 points1 point ago

I can't help but think this kid is just being tortured. Hopefully he received adequate compensation from his parents.

[–]spiderspit 0 points1 point ago

I feel they got the mask and then built the whole thing around it.

[–]AJ192 0 points1 point ago

I totally saw this kid at ACE this weekend!!!!

[–]Woetren 0 points1 point ago

Kid was very nice today, he didn't run off, didn't complain.

[–]tempusrname 0 points1 point ago

That's not cosplay, the kid is simply a grade A biter.

[–]RobEBud 0 points1 point ago

isint this sorta child abuse

[–]lunarcrystal 0 points1 point ago

Aw, how fun. I remember seeing that kid at the ABQ Comic Expo last weekend.

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point ago

...or parenting fail.

[–]kitkatkatydid 0 points1 point ago

Well, next time my 10-years younger than me brother wants to go to a convention with me, I know the costume I will require of him

[–]aznsniperx3 0 points1 point ago

Thats cool and messed up at the same time. :p

[–]pandemoniker 0 points1 point ago

[–]Revolan 0 points1 point ago

Parenting, your doing it right

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

Was thinking "Where's the back to it". Then I realised he's strapped in. That's it.

[–]IamSparticles 0 points1 point ago

Cosplay?

[–]dookieface 0 points1 point ago

parenting win.

[–]whiteorb 0 points1 point ago

This was at the Albuquerque Comic Expo last week. http://abqcomicexpo.com they have quite a few photos on their Facebook as well. https://www.facebook.com/abqcomicexpo

[–]DirtySingh 0 points1 point ago

[–]roxypotter13 0 points1 point ago

I was there :D! Woot Albuquerque Comic Expo. You all should go next year! http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t275/roxypotter13/DSC02128-1.jpg I should have gotten a picture with that little guy, I saw him and that he looked awesome!

[–]Sarahmint 1 point2 points ago

Child abuse, much?

[–]selfloathingredditor -1 points0 points ago

Actually this is not cool at all. Your kid doesn't like your shitty nerd habits. I'm guessing he is not enjoying himself in the slightest.

[–]blastedramen 4 points5 points ago

Actually I was there and the kid was walking around getting his picture taken.

It was a blast, everyone had fun.

[–]dbcification -1 points0 points ago

Control + F abuse didn't disappoint...

Or maybe it did. I mean, come on now. It's a funny Halloween costume. Get off your high fucking horses.

[–]pxpxy -2 points-1 points ago

I'm right in the middle of watching red dragon! Good timing!
