KINGSTON A 13-year-old boy, upset Friday afternoon that his father would not let him have his iPod, bit the 46-year-old man and kicked him in the groin before he was joined by his mother in the pummeling.

Kitsap County deputies were called to the house on the 26000 block of Trophy Lane NE Friday at about 2 p.m. following the assault, reports said.

The father said that his son had become impatient because he wanted to use the family's computer to load songs on to his iPod, but the father was using the computer at the time.

The father left the room and when he returned, the son had reset the computer and was downloading songs onto the device. The father took the iPod away and wouldn't let the son have it back, which sparked the scuffle.

During the fight, the son bit his father on the finger in an attempt to loosen the man's grip on the iPod, breaking the skin. Then the son kicked his father in the groin. As they struggled, the 44-year-old wife and mother appeared and tried to determine what was happening.

She punched her husband in the face several times, then she and the son left. The father told deputies she had a history of mental illness and had attempted suicide in the past.

And people say we should stop spanking. This boy need some good thrashing before he was 13 to learn some respect.

The father needs to light a match to the screen of that iPod and then sell it to Golden Palace Casino for about $50,000 (after claiming an image of Jesus ‘appeared’ on the display) and then GTF outta town.

Those losers don’t need a father, they need a WWE wrestling referee.

Great. Now I have that theme song to “Cops” stuck in my head again.

With no pictures it’s hard to know for certain, but I suspect the father did not fight back as he could have. If that’s the case, the kid and the mom are lucky to not be in the hospital.
