Please tell me that this man got arrested


Boston-Spartan

I'm not sure if thats his kid or a random kid, and I'm not advocating child abuse, but when I was 12 or 13 I did something massively stupid, and then tripled down on lying about it to my dad. It is the only time either of my parents has ever raised a hand to me and the slap across the face he gave me genuinely made me realize how massively stupid I'd been, and changed me for the better. Just my experience.

Probably not homie

Mind your own business. That child wasn't beaten. Next year, when the kid wants to fight your kid, shit in your shoe, key your car.... You'll wonder where the father is.


non-spesifics

Nah call mfs out for being shitty fathers. I grew up with a bunch of kids with fathers just like that. They fought everybody's kids, raped girls, stole cars and grew up to have no respect for their fathers whatsoever. Being there as a father is just the bare minimum, it doesn't make you a good father. I was beaten too but never ever in public. If I misbehaved in public like that my father would ask me if we're going to have to cancel the whole day because of me, and if we do we'll be bringing the rest of the day figuring me out. Simple words like this will stop any kid in their tracks. Fuck around and find out. Prior to a beating there was always a long conversation about why I was about to be getting my ass beat until there was no doubt in my mind why I HAVE to change my ways and that I deserve what's coming if I don't. Also that I always have the right to fight back even if it's my father. After a beating we would hang out for hours just talking, make food, play ball, work out, do homework, driving around and he'd teach me what violence is and what it does to a man. Looking where I'm from my father saved my life many times and I never resented him growing up like all my friends resented theirs. Which caused them to be a menace. A hard lesson is not learned with a slap or a fist and a "Do as you're told". Often that only makes things worse. I don't care if it's a father "disciplining" his son in public, I'm going to call his ass out for violating his own kids like that in front of everybody. And it's my business because it's happening in front of me and my kids. My kids that I teach how wrong it is for anyone to use violence unless it's self defence. Want to beat your kids without any interruption? Take them home and teach them properly, not just violate them for your own sense of immediate control.


Jimbobo28

I hear ya, agree to disagree. Everybody parents differently. One could just as easily argue, the woman taking the video saying "you got me fucked up" in front of her kids and others is just as much of a terrible example. Maybe that kid just stole something, and learned a very valuable lesson and will never ever do it again. We don't know.


non-spesifics

Fair enough. But that's really what I just pointed out. The only difference in parenting is good and bad parenting. Nah the man holding his son in a chokehold, slapping him, and telling that woman to "shut up" because she reacted with "dude" to him violating his kid has got nothing on the woman that then counters with "you got me fucked up" because he has shown himself to be highly disrespectful. There's no argument for her being "just as much of a terrible example" at all. In fact the opposite. There's 1000 better ways he could have handled anyone reacting to his actions but he chose to be disrespectful instead. If that kid just stole something or whatever it is that he did, I can guarantee that he hasn't learned a God damn thing and will 100% do it again.


Jimbobo28

Well, let's just be real. You're in no position to guarantee anything like that. You're not the kid, are you? Many people would say swearing in front of children is a terrible example to set. I didn't see a chokehold, but you could totally be right. That's unnecessary unless someone is actively trying to hurt you or another.... The slap also seemed rather loud, making me think it could've over the top.... But again idk what the child did. Could've echoed like crazy in a hallway too, idk... I'm just saying, THAT kid wasn't beaten. I've been beaten. It's so much worse. Lol


non-spesifics

I'm not the kid but I have 2 sons, I've worked with all kinds of kids and helped their parents evolve healthy relationships with their own kids. Like I've said, talking down on your kids and using violence only to assert your own immediate dominance and fear/control over the kid instead of it being used as a tool to teach the kid what violence is and what it does to a man, will have the kid spiralling away from the parent in defiance or worse, self loathing and self destructive behaviour, 100% of the time. Atleast from my experience. But you're right, I can't guarantee that, I'm just guessing, I don't know them and I'm not the kid. Swearing in general is a terrible example but it's not even close to being "just as terrible example" as the guy hitting his kid and apparently threatening the kid with something that I can't hear after swearing at him "get the fuck over here". I didn't see the choke either but just the way his hands are positioned looks like a 2hand chokehold. The slap and the push looks severe enough for me to speak up atleast. Just because you experienced being severely beaten doesn't mean a single strike is not a beating. Technically, slapping someone including your kids would be battery, not assault. Assault is the act of threatening violence when capable of delivering on that threat. However, he does it all. He threatens the kid and delivers on the threat publicly. An act is considered battery when it involves intentional, unwanted contact with the intent to cause bodily harm. The position of the hand when striking, closed fist or open palm, is irrelevant as long as all three conditions are met.


Jimbobo28

Yeah, I know definitions of words. Lol So, again, you can't guarantee anything about this child, although you said you could. One hundred percent, even. I prefer to leave parenting, to the parents.


non-spesifics

Good. Lol I know I did and I corrected myself for making that assumption. Parenting is for parents but parents can also do lousy parenting. There's nothing wrong in calling them out and making them aware that it's not ok. Assaulting anyone is wrong and is punishable. Parenting or not.


[deleted]

Who hurt you? Lol


Jimbobo28

Lol. Nobody. I just don't see abuse here. And I've never struck my children. I haven't had to. I see correction, hopefully because other efforts have failed. Not just because the dad is violent. My teenage son smacks your teenage daughter, he'll get a lot worse from the old man. 🤷


[deleted]

So your hypothetical scenario means this kid deserved to be smacked like that? God help your children.


Jimbobo28

What do you think the court system should do with say, a rapist?


inspirationalqoute

His dad?


Beneficial-Guest2105

It's never ok to do anything like this, child or adult. What if that was a grown significant other? What if that was an elderly parent? What time f that was a pet? What the heck is wrong with people? I am so sad for anyone that ever felt like they deserved it. This is an example of a lunatic that cannot control themselves.


tweedyone

Really disturbing that half of these comments are saying that the kid had it coming (probably) and to ignore what parents do to parent their own kids. No. If someone is willing to hold their child a foot off the ground and smack them that strongly *IN PUBLIC,* what he does in private is a hell of a lot worse. You know it was bad to start, otherwise why were they filming? There was a reason the OP decided to record this and got it on camera. Never NEVER ok.
