Wow, this is the type of **** that bugs me about times today...everyone needs to grow some ******* balls. Most people's dad would've just kicked the **** out of him.

Doesn't sound like he was really abusing his kid. But the law is the law, so getting a misdemeanor offense is probably about what you could expect.  There's got to be a better way to discipline your son.

I agree in certain circumstances it could be a good way to get some humility, respect and maturity out of a punk kid.  But I don't think there's any good way to write such a law.

@greg i agree about the difficulty in writing a law about it. But maybe it could be as simple as parental consent to a reasonable amount.  Like obviously if you beat the kid into coma its jail, but even a mild knockout or bloody nose should be fine.  Especially if they have an impartial ref for the fight.

Adults should be able to control themselves from going too far but we all know "should" rarely actually comes true.

I think it is funny seeing stories like this, when most of us grew up this was standard.  there was no you're grounded ********, you took a beating and moved on with your business.
