Suri’s parents should try harder to keep her out of the public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suri is being traumatized. She’s obviously in emotional pain. Poor child!!!!!!!!!

(Suri is experiencing trauma every time she’s exposed to people yelling, invading her space, calling her name, loudness of a raucous crowd.)
She’s often blocking her ears!!!!!!!!!
I think she’s going to need psychological assistance.

Symptoms of Traumatized Children

Young children who have been traumatized show a wide range of symptoms. These include:

Increased clinginess and difficulties separating from parents Disrupted sleep, with increased nightmares, waking, and panic.

Increased worries and hypervigilance.

Avoidance of new or previously identified sources of danger (phobias about animals, noises, monsters under the bed, etc.)

Toileting problems and physical complaints (headaches, stomachaches, or other aches and pains with no medical cause) Eating problems with increased fussiness, lack of interest, or insatiability.

Increased irritability and oppositional behavior with increased aggressiveness, angry outbursts, and inability to be soothed Emotional upset with unusual and frequent tearfulness and expressions of sadness.

Withdrawal of interest in pleasurable activities and interactions.

Dramatic changes in or inability to play; playing less creatively; repeatedly reenacting a traumatic event, such as a car crash or a fire.

Blunted emotions with no show of feelings; disconnection, as though going through the motions of regular activities Unusual distractibility.

Refusal to engage in previous age-appropriate behaviors (self-feeding, washing, brushing teeth, self-dressing, etc.).

Return to more babyish speech patterns.

They cant do anything about the photographers going after them- its dictated by public interest and not by where they go, and there are no laws to protect either themselves or their children in place. I think that a huge part of them trying to get pictures not only of the famous parents but their famous-by-proxy children is due to magazines, papers, tabloids and celebrity blogs who also hunger for children’s pictures.

Poor little thing, she looks genuinely frightened and intimidated in most of those pics. Also, buy her dresses that fit….not ones that reach her feet almost…she is still a little girl.

I think Tom and Katie have plenty of other options rather than take Suri to Central Park or any other very public venu.
I agree that the paparazzi are becoming scary and dangerous. Sadly, I think nothing will be done until there is a real tragedy caused by paps that actually forces those in authority to take action.
However, a parent is a child’s first line of defense. Tom and Katie should be protecting Suri rather than taking her out to very public places, and “in” restaurants where there is guranteed to be paps. I think all their recent outings have been photo ops in order to promote Katie’s play and they should be ashamed of themselves for so selfishly causing their daughter such distress.

In my opinion…Suri looks like a very tempermental, spoiled little girl. She scowls all the time…and it makes me sick to think about how much money they spend on a 2 year old’s clothes! Nauseating. What kind of principle and values is this child going to have one day?? NONE! Another Paris Hilton in the making…just wait and see.

It’s all pitiful but what I see is a very spoiled little girl who is allowed to set her own bedtime. In one picture I saw she was exerting her “in chargeness” to her father when she didn’t get her way. What is she doing with a bottle? Whay is she throwing a fit when Mama forgets or tries to take her balnket away? Does she really need a $500 haircut? Or custom made shoes? She dosn’t appear to have trouble with her feet. What resturant goer wants to have babies around late at night? Not me! Katie thinks she has a prize….. so soon we forget Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch! And this man is parenting? God help Suri. Cute as she is she has a hard row to hoe!

I agree with the comments about the Paparazzi staying away from kids thats why i don’t think theres anything wrong with celebs selling the pics they take them in a controlled environment so the kids are comfortable and eventually people wont be as interested in them if they’re there all the time and hopefully the photographers wont be as pushy

This child does look tired and scared. I think hundreds of flashbulbs might be something adults would like, but it would get old for a young child. Also, I have a “retarded” daughter. I really don’t appreciate the tone of Tropic Thunder. No, Ben, the word “retard” is not okay, no matter what the context is…

sO, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP SURI IN HIDING, THEY DID THAT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND PEOPLE WERE TRASGING THEM FOR THAT SAYIND THEY WERE HIDING her. Its up to the photogs to stay away. Poor baby and cruise family. I think its really selfish of the paperazzi to make suri cry just for a darn pic. I think its great that they include her in there outings instead of letting the nanny raise her. I take my kids literally everywhere with me.

It’s no wonder she’s upset and crying. Pap’s get way out of hand and way too close! Fine, you want to take a picture go ahead, but get the hell out of the kid’s face and quit screaming at her! They invade their space and they don’t care who they push over to get a stupid picture. I guess this little girl is supposed to stay couped up her entire life. And I guess Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were just not aloud to have children? That’s ridiculous. Yeah, they’re horrible parents, what are they thinking trying to take their daughter to the park, a game, or out in public period…CRAZY!! I think every Pap should get court ordered to stay at LEAST 100 feet from these people, especially if they have kids…wishful thinking I guess. I can understand Freedom of the Press, but I never really understood Freedom of the Idiots!
