Dad charged, teen removed from home after boxing video post on Facebook

I've stood up to the man that birthed me plenty of times. When I was a kid, he'd just turn to weapons because that somehow made him a man - don't let me have a weapon, only he can have one. The only person in my household I wouldn't touch back was the woman that birthed me, and only then because society looks down on females getting hit, despite the situation. But I guarantee you this. In a situation where we're squared up, both of us with boxing gloves and no rules? I'd beat the hell out of him and he'd tell you this himself. Because there, it's fair game. This is even more true once I turned 16, because that was the age my muscles really showed up and he started gaining weight like crazy. The only time I thought of him as greater than a man was when he was in the military - until the day he flat out refused to fight in the Gulf. At that point he became "human" and well worth an ass whooping IMO. I'm sorry to hear that you have that type of relationship with your parents, brother.

I'll get "heat" for this. That kid is a punk. My dad would not hesitate to swing at your head when you weren't looking or when you were asleep. Here, they've got gloves on, they're squared off, the kid has a fair chance. But he fears his dad, and he doesn't try. If I was that kid, and it truly was a fair fight, that man's gut is a blatant target. I'd go after that mofo like I was Marcos Maidana, dirty and all. Yet the funny thing is, people are ok with parents spanking they kids with belts, extension cords, paddles etc. but not a squared up boxing match? Really? You're okay attacking a defenseless child with a weapon but not fighting man up? I never understand that. But welts and bruises and crap from a leather belt or a cord is okay? And spanking isn't "beating"? Double standards. I'm calling BS on that. You know damn well you would never stand up to your father, being a 17 year old kid. When I was a kid, my pops seemed like a giant superhero to me. He wasn't violent with me either, but I was scared to death of him.

Yeah, he beat his kid up pretty bad. Better watch out though, the kid may remember that when his dad gets old. Payback's a bitch!

Canelo was fighting grown men at 17 in the pro ranks. Hell, Benitez was world champ at 17. This kid needs to train harder and appreciate the sparring, the US is too soft now. same weight class doe

Dad looks like a solid contender for GGG's next opponent.

And spanking isn't "beating"? Double standards. At thst kids age violence shouldn't be the answer REGARDLESS. He's already too old and the only thing hitting him is going to do is teach him to be afraid of his dad. It might make him tougher in the sense that he can take a beating. That's about it. He is already old enough to know right from wrong. Again I can only go on how I was raised and how my peers were raised.

I don't have kids so I can only go on how I was raised. I don't see how violence is needed to mold kids into strong well behaved adults. There's a lot more that goes into being a parent than that. For all we know his kid might be taking this the wrong way and rebeling. I don't see how punching your son in the face helps things. On top of the this guy posted on FB bragging as if he deserves some badge of honor. I really doubt he sets a strong example for his children.

As a father of 4 boys, 3 of which are amateurs this is a very gray area for me. I am totally for hands on discipline but I think itd have to take something a lot more than a teenager leaving class early to beat him like that. I would be a hypocrite if I beat my son for ditching class, hell I used to ditch all the time in HS especially as a Senior... If there is more to the story though like he ditched and was using drugs, ditched to steal or do something he would be brought to my house in cuffs, well than my boys better knuckle up cuz theyre in for a Deebo type beatdown. Theres certain levels of discipline and the puishment should fit the crime. My punishments range from groundings, slaps on the back of the head, to shaving off an eyebrow when they are asleep, and lastly a beatdown. But again itd have to take a lot for me to beat my son like a man because no matter how much they piss me off, I love them dearly. True dad answer.

Lol America 👍🏽

And spanking isn't "beating"? Double standards. Personally the furthest Id go to hitting my child would be a spank because its not the same as busting his nose or using a cord/belt. Do you think strangling a kid until he passes out is equivilent to a spank too? Im not a father but there are other ways to discipline your child other than physical abuse (apart from spanking as its not severe and the kid gets the message) As i said, if the father wanted to really toughen him up then take him to a boxing gym where he can actually fight back. Not make him fight his father who he fears and sees as authority.

I make fun of stereo types, But I never say racial shit. That yall do. THEIR IS A DIFFERENCE! And keep ducking this ass whooping! Enjoy your ban

I don't see anything wrong in boxing with the kid to teach lesson. with blacks having 80% fatherless kids at least this guy is sticking around. kids are so messed up today cause they are raised way to soft You make a great point. Never thought about thst green k sent

what a fucking asshole :rofl:

This is beyond stupid... The dad should be commended not punished.. His kid walked out on class, and dad gave him tough love... I didn't think it was a brutal beating. The dad seems like a good dad that actually cares about his son and his future, hence why he wants him to take school seriously.. I applaud the dad

I support his methods, America growing into a nation of nothing but fruity softies who can't even change a car tire :beerchug:

You don't post stuff like this on the internet

That's plain wrong. Nothing right about that. Military teaches discipline without beating you up, why can't these weak minded parents do that? If you are a respectful person and someone to look up to, you can teach discipline verbally. If you are weak and have to hit kids then that's just fear they'll have.

All I got from this thread is that boss hogg is ducking Larry. Could be because of that Canelo pic but who knows :dunno:
