FULL TITLE: 'Punch his eyes out': Father charged with child abuse after coaching his son through bare knuckle fist fight with bully

Video at link.

[coloradan]

Um, how exactly is one *supposed* to deal with school bullies, given that the authorities do nothing? “Now let him punch you again!” “Now let him stomp on your head, now that you’re on the ground!” ?!

[wastedyears]

Parents cheering at wrestling matches is any different? Boxing?

[ClearCase_guy]

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender
We surrender

This is what you do with bullies

The father should be commended.

[r9etb]

Well, I saw the video. Dear ol' dad shows up on the video, and he looks like he's about to have an orgasm.

Suffice it to say, his "ick" factor is sky-high. There's something not right about him.

[I see my hands]

Step out of line, the man come and take you away.

[Psalm 144]

“The judge, who was astounded at the case, told him: ‘Your relationship with your child is over with. You cannot see, live with or communicate with your minor children.’”

I guess that whole war against the Nazis was for grins. Clearly, the Britons live in a totalitarian state.

[Pox]

The judge, who was astounded at the case, told him: 'Your relationship with your child is over with. You cannot see, live with or communicate with your minor children.

The judge sounds like a bully to me, and I wouldn't blame the man for punching his lights out.

[Peter from Rutland]

Get your kids in martial arts and you won’t have to instruct them on what to do.

At 16 years old it is no longer *bullying* and more like *intimidation.*

16 year-olds can be tried as adults for assaulting.

This father was totally wreckless.

And hardly grooming his son for success.

[eyedigress]

The 4th grade bully in my school actually had me over to try and spar with him. Turned out I could hold my own pretty well and never had another issue with him or anyone else for years.
It’s just life.

[Jeff Winston]

Saw the video. Misdemeanor.... maybe. Felony child abuse? BS.

[dog breath]

Sometimes you have to do what you think is right even if the world condemns you for it.

[ronnyquest]

England and the rest of the UK are lost. They should be ashamed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Viscously fight? Is this done in a tank of pancake syrup?

Anyhow, if pop was right there when his son was attacked, he should have cleaned the perp’s clock himself.

[knarf]

The entire family has been bullied into saying things they really don't mean.

The judge needs to spend some quality time behind bars with someone she's sent up.
Let her cry for help from her cell while Big Mama comes after her repeatedly and she sees she MUST fend for herself.

Stupid bitch should be disbarred.

Ok

I'm 53 grew up fighting...I'm big ...i helped smaller guys against bullies..won a lot..lost some too

I have taught my boys to fight too...and Master Ko teaches even more and discipline.and my oldest at nearly 11 is pretty damn tough l

But I would not teach them to gouge eyes or slam a down opponents head onto a hard surface...that is for lethal fighting in which Case it's better to avoid it or be armed and trained and in the right
I got in a fight in 7th grade Hardy jr high in a stairwell and banged up a guys head bad concussion...got a serious paddling by the coach and his recurve bow paddle “oscar”

The dad is trying to do the right thing but I question his judgment

But teaching my oldest to resist bullies or taunters helped him mucho

Actually in todays high end schools like my kids attend with overflowing estrogen sensitivity and silly mommies virtually living at school clucking over their poor kid...merciless teasing is a far bigger problem than fighting

smartass brats today can pick on someone with impunity given that fighting is so frowned on

they know better with my lads though

one of mine got 2 day out of school for popping an older kid who picked on our middle boy....principal..a.fine conservative Christian woman hated doing it but brats parents made a stink

It was great for my son ...we just went deer hunting

I don't like America 2011 so much...i prefer 1966

[Vendome]

My Dad taught me how to deal with a bully.

Be a gazelle or be a lion.

I prefer being the hunter and not looking over my shoulder...

[TigersEye]

Good grief! Steponallofus us such a simpering weenie. He doesn't even know the definition of 'choreographed' apparently.

The kid did really well for his first fight ever. He doesn't even look like the kind of kid that usually gets picked on. Makes me wonder what the other kid's problem was.

As for the government; keep making self defense a crime and government will become the sworn enemy of decent human beings!
