So I guess you would make a child that doesn't use an "indoor voice" go around screaming their head off as punishment.
I noticed you left out this part:
Sorry, but yes, that is child abuse.
They were able to get him to do this, so obviously they can do more chores. Glad the police stepped in.
Sounds like the son was being lazy, yet again, and couldn't even complete the task he was given for not doing the tasks he was given. Clearly there is a pattern here with this kid.
Ya, and that woman was just asking to be raped with the way she was dressed.
(It's an analogy of kind not degree, before anyone accuses me of equating this with rape)
There are many punishments that can be done that don't involve physical punishments like this. Grounding, extra chores, etc.
Luckily the police diagree with YOU.
This isn't remotely the same thing.
If your kid doesn't do their homework, and you punish them for it. (The punishment being subjective; talking to them, grounding, whatever)
Then again, they don't do their homework. Do you give them the same punishment? Worse punishment?
Then again, they don't do their homework, then what?
How is that comparable to blaming a woman for what she was wearing when she was raped?
The comparison was with respect to your victim-blaming, not with respect to the act.
There was no victim in this case.
Yes there was.
So if he had sent his son to military school and the kid had to move rock there, he isn't a victim? But since it was his father, he is?
It's abusive and more than that it's LAZY. All a kid learns from this kind of thing us to fear, and probably eventually loathe, his/her father. It's one thing to say make them do yard work that involves raking leaves etc. , otherwise known as normal chores. It's completely another to treat them like a pack animal. I can't help but think the father's got some issues to work out here. Nice to see he's in counseling. I hope he gets something out of it.
In your opinion, they were wrong. In my opinion, they weren't.
Agreed, but I tend to doubt that this guy will get anything out of counseling unless he really wants to change. My guess; he seriously believes his son is the one with the problem, not him.
