Neighbor Tapes Man Beating Step-son wiith a Belt for not Catching a Ball-

[purekane]

I stopped going to my godchild's soccer games cause she would get purposely mauled

by the fat bitches on the other team. The ref's did what they could, but I guess

it's part of the game. I wanted to kill the other teams coach... so I can't really

judge an irate parent when it comes to defending.


This poor guy however, was probably treated the same way, as a kid.

Hell. Most great athlete's start off this way. Not sayin'

it's right, just sayin' without the video..... that day

was just a Thursday.

I won't watch the video but read the article and responses to it and can only say...karma....will come around. Maybe the justice system gets it right (I have my doubts) and puts this guy in with some dudes who will really show him the meaning of what a beating is, but odds are they'll reduce the sentence and the guy will go right back to annihilating his child. But as we all know...if that child lives....and gets bigger......Daddy is going to get his. It might not even be when the kid gets bigger...maybe he'll just wait until Daddy goes to bed and the goes and caves his head in with a hammer. Who knows? All I do know is that sooner or later this stuff comes home to roost.

At first glance it clearly seems excessive and unnecessary, but as with all media hyped events with only partial footage...who knows if its the entire story? Maybe the kid was mouthing off? Probably not but we dont really know much other than he hit the kid a few times with the belt. I heard on the radio today that he resigned from his position. His life is now ****ed no matter what as the negative publicity will have everyone label him an ******* child abuser (which maybe he is) and he now doesnt have income. No way he will be convicted of a felony though and will probably plead to something minor and get probation + community service. Maybe child endangerment misdeamenor. But, in the end, this event is going to change his life - sure hope he doesnt take it out on the kid.

I was at a soccer game for my nephew and watched two adult male parents get into fisticuffs over their 6-7 year old daughters soccer game. I was part of the group that helped break it up and it was a very frightening moment for all the children, and moms. I think many times its the Al Bundy syndrome for these wanna-be ex high school athletes and they are trying to re-live sports through their kids. Pretty ****ing pathetic.

this post sucked^ ^ ^ ^

i'm on my way to your house, right now, and i;m gonna learn you a lesson with my replica UFC championship belt .

Even if the kid was mouthing off, there's a difference between a spanking and multiple belt whippings.

This I agree with. When I used to referee hockey, it gave me great pleasure to toss mouthy parents to the indoor viewing area or out of the arena in exceptional circumstances. In that case, they'd have to mouth off to me or one of my linesmen for me to do anything about it, but usually if they were running their mouths to the kids, us refs were certainly going to hear it to at some point.

I hate these Dad who had fantasies of becoming some world class athlete but never had the skills to make it, and now their poor kids have to suffer while they while try to live vicariously through them.

Terrible parent, but as far as felony child abuse... I'm not sure. They should talk to the kid and see if this has happened before.

Looks like the real story here is that Tommy Chong has prostate cancer, and Matt McConaughey got married.

That was brutal. The kid had no business getting that beating. He looked like he was learning to throw for the first time he looked so awkward.
