This is something that disturbs me.

I haven't found a good answer to why people do this.

And I certainly haven't found a reason why the parents
allow a stranger to hold their baby!

What is this meant to show us?
That we can trust the person running for office?

Are we measuring the abilities of the person by seeing
if they have a negative effect on a new born?

This is unnecessary - for a number of reasons.

First we shouldn't be hiring someone
to tell us what to do.

Secondly this is not a measure of a psychopath,
it's simply some training. Anyone can relate to children,
even Hitler or Charles Manson could have pulled off
the child interaction test.

Don't get me started on the kissing.

This does not measure anything about the person. And its creepy.
