Ouch!! Little Levi Alves McConaughey, first born son of Matthew McConaughey and his babymama Camila Alves, spent part of his yesterday frolicking on the beach with his pet dogs and his very aggressive nanny*. Wanna know how I know the nanny is aggressive? Check out how she likes to yank around the little kid when she grabs a hold of him:
No matter how much fun kids think it is, children at this age should not be lifted up and yanked by their arms … and they really shouldn’t be yanked by one arm like this. It is my understanding that at this very young age, kids’ muscles and tendons are still being formed and trauma to their joints like this can do damage … plus, it does look painful. Now, I’m not sure that Levi‘s parents are aware that their little boy is being yanked around like this but I know I wouldn’t want anyone manhandling my child like this. Poor thing :(
But, Levi‘s day at the beach wasn’t all bad … he got to spend some time playing with the family dogs. After the jump, check out two more photos of Levi at the beach with his furry buddies …
At least these little guys won’t be yanking Levi‘s appendages out of their sockets … well, not anytime soon.
*UPDATE: It turns out that this aggressive woman is NOT Levi‘s nanny … it’s his grandmother, Camila Alves‘s mother! Lord … help that child!

Yea the pictures were on the Insider last night and they said it’s camilla’s mom
hi Trent! we had this conversation about one year ago and if memory serves me right it was also with matthew m. and his young boy! swinging/picking/lifting/dragging/whatever young kids up by their arms IS NOT SAFE..the joints dislocate very easily! you can all Google “Nurse Maids Elbow” for more info…
fortunately it is usually a problem that is easily remedied by popping the joint back into place but it does and can cause a lot of pain for the child…
and yes – i am a doctor so for all those nay sayers out there, do your homework before responding!
I get that something bad can happen, but we’ve all made bad split second decisions before and since we don’t know the full story behind those pictures its wrong to judge. Often times context is needed.
Eh, I see no big deal with that. When my brother and I were kids, we would BEG to be swung around by our arms, which usually ended up us holding on with only one arm, and we are both fine(at least our arms are, haha!)
