I watched this on the news this morning (that's right, I watch the news now, I'm a little impressed with myself) I think i tis mean, pointless, and completely immature. Now maybe I'm one of a few, and that' ok, but I don't think that it's funny to make your kids sad or angry on purpoe.. Those are the actions of a bully, not a loving and caring parent. Do I prank? Yes, certainly, I've been known to pull a few pranks in the past, and I'm sure that my child will be the target of a few (April Fools is just too fun sometimes!) however, she is young, she doesn't fully understand the concept and won't know the difference, and she is just learning how to understand and deal with her feelings as it is, now isn't the time for me to play with them for my own amusement. Not to be discounted, my other concern is that parents worldwide are laughing at this, they are enjoying the reactions of the children. If I ever become someone who thinks a child's distress or feelings is a joke, I hope that someone will bring it to my attention and correct it.
