August 29, 200719 yr Author You are? :scared: :eek: Did he go to far? Yes. But I wouldn't call it child abuse.
August 29, 200719 yr Did he go to far? Yes. But I wouldn't call it child abuse.I wonder if the child, would agree....I disagree with you my friend.
August 29, 200719 yr But I wouldn't call it child abuse. Are you serious? He freaking gave his children 2nd degree burns, on purpose, and then got them no medical treatment. I mean honestly, you can't be serious.
August 29, 200719 yr This guy needs help. What the children did was definately wrong but what he did is uncalled for. Maybe he handled in the best way he knew how but IMO it was child abuse and the wrong decision by the father.
August 29, 200719 yr Did he go to far? Yes. But I wouldn't call it child abuse.When the parent tells his children to lie about their injuries, that's a pretty good indicator that they believe that its child abuse.
August 29, 200719 yr Author Ok, let me rephrase this... He shouldn't have burned the kids' hands. Not giving them medical treatment is inexcusable. Children shouldn't be punished that way. That said, I see child abuse as undeserved physical abuse. While the child didn't deserve that degreee of punishment, she did deserve some sort. I guess I applaud the dad for taking action, as too many parents sit back and look the other way, but I don't agree with the extent of the punishment.

August 29, 200719 yr When this guy screws up at work, perhaps someone should taze him. Calling Tony Danza........

That's better....His action, was reprehensible and may result, in him losing his children, which is more negative effects on the kids. Extremely pitiful decision by the man and I'm not using the word "Father", because I can't see a dad, ever doing this to his own children.
August 29, 200719 yr I can't think of any reason to do this to your child. What makes anyone think of something like this? Well, except for the kid that played with the Babe Ruth ball in 'The Sandlot'. He deserved that, at the least...
