<title>VIDEO: Dan Daru Makes a Baby Cry Live on KDVR</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?video_pcode=dzb3E6lOVg3GbeqCXcWqm8NkQGcl&#038;height=320&#038;embedCode=R5MGd2NTpdIY5ex1UKMNb4EcKwoJiPQT&#038;deepLinkEmbedCode=R5MGd2NTpdIY5ex1UKMNb4EcKwoJiPQT&#038;width=570"></script></p>
<p>KDVR reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dan-Daru-profile.html">Dan Daru</a></strong> made a young child cry on live television last week while reporting from a local farm (video above).</p>
<p>Daru was crouched down next to &#8220;Drew the Farm Kid,&#8221; talking in a playful Einstein-like voice, when Drew began to cry and moved to get out of his stroller. &#8220;That&#8217;s terrible. That&#8217;s terrible,&#8221; Daru whispered, moving away from the crying child. &#8220;I love that kid.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/video-dan-daru-makes-a-baby-cry-live-on-kdvr_b61495#more-61495" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>
