A blog post about Greenberg's methods has turned into some sort of publicity war.
The original comments, calling her abusive, here:

The Gallery’s Website quotes the author, "I love the raw emotion of children, because it comes close to the anger and helplessness I feel about our current political and social situation."
More: “I manipulate my subjects to evoke an emotion to illustrate my personal beliefs…I had to learn the hard way that they had to be no older than three because beyond that they just don’t cry so easily,” Greenberg explains. "At that age, one needs to merely give them a lollipop and then take it away, et voila - pain and agony." Personally, I find her methods pretty rank. I can still remember very clearly when, as a maybe 5-year-old, a friend of my siblings took my Romper Stompers (waaaaaaaaahhhhh) and refused to give them back. And the ensuing shit fit I had. The sibs all thought it was pretty funny until it became clear a parent was going to hear about it. Did I ever mention how messed up my family was?
