Locking someone inside a dark room for days is completely different to what is shown on the video. It isn’t even comparable.

Being locked in a dark room for few days will traumatise anyone including fully fledged adults.

still I dont think this kind of prank is good for a kids brains, there is a reason we dont let kids watch horror movies (ironically, we let them play GTA V) :\

I wouldn’t either but I still think these things wouldn’t put a lasting impact or trauma on a kid long term, at least for most kids. Maybe i’m bias.

You should ask yourself why you think this is harmless. Some kids are clearly distressed, upset, scared for no reason. Then they find their parent laughing at them. They find out their parents thought it was funny to make them feel awful and they want other people to laugh at them as well.

I think it’s good to cultivate resilience, to be able to see outside yourself and not take yourself seriously all the time, but there are certainly better ways to do this than by inducing such a negative experience in young children.
