KILLEEN, Texas - A Fort Hood soldier and his wife have been accused of injury to a child for allegedly forcing their 3-year-old daughter to beat up an older boy as they videotaped it, Killeen police said.
....
The fight allegedly occurred Saturday while the couple babysat for the 5-year-old son of a friend, police said. When the boy's mother arrived to pick him up, she turned on the couple's video camera, which had previously been used to tape the children playing.
Police said the tape shows the soldier commanding his daughter to knock the victim down, kick him and hit him in the face. The girl follows her father's instructions as the boy cries and pleads for her to stop, police said.
The tape also shows the man declaring his daughter the "winner," and he shoves the boy and demands to know why he didn't defend himself, police said.
The incident left the boy with bruises.

The 5 year-old boy would benefit from karate lessons. The father would benefit from an ass kicking.
I don't know. I was taught not to hit girls at a very young age.
Of course that changed when I had a girlfriend who was a blue belt.
No point in teaching boys not to hit girls or smaller children with people like that. And if the boy had walloped her what would those idiots have done to him.

This is sick. What horrible, terrible parents. They should be given jail time and huge fines.
Too true.
His friend (the father of the boy) needs to shove that video camera up his ass after kicking it.
"

The father is a jackass and I hope they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. He is an unfit parent.
"It wasn't immediately clear if they had a lawyer."
But, it was immediately clear that if either of them had half a brain, they would take it out and play with it.
No kidding. The boy was doomed to lose, either way.
They should THROW THE BOOK at the Fort Hood soldier and his wife. They are morons of the first order. What a STUPID thing to do.
I hope some smarter folks had a long chat with this boy. I hope they told him how utterly stupid the adults were and that he wasn't in any way to blame for his bruises.
When the boy's mother arrived to pick him up, she turned on the couple's video camera - does this strike anyone as strange?
I really don't know what to say about this. I can't wait to hear the post rumors second hand about it.
Yes ... very.
MARINES would never do a thing like that.
On the surface this is a horrible incident and if true, I hope this couple is properly punished. HOWEVER,this is from MSNBC who picked it up from the AP. I think I will with hold judgement until it is corroborated by other more reliable sources.
Now you have me thinking about the wife they dug up on the shooting range at Quantico.
Should be shot at dawn. Forced sterilization at a minimum. Sickos.
