Reminds me of the Dana Carvey skit of the Church Lady.

"...a little hard on the Beaver last night."

Heavily armed and brandishing warrants, State police and CPS agents swarmed onto the Cleaver property today, leading a handcuffed Ward Cleaver away as his sons were taken into protective custody. He is accused of having ordered his boys to go to their rooms, threatening them with a discussion in the den after supper. Said his youngest, Beaver, "Dad sure was sore." Mr. Cleaver was charged with multiple counts of false imprisonment, child endangerment and child labor law violations. It is alleged that he smoked his pipe in an enclosed space in his children's presence, exposing them to risks associated with secondary smoke. Neighbors are expected to testify at trial that he put them to work mowing the lawn, raking leaves and washing the family car, compensating them only with a small amount of money he called an "allowance." Mr. Cleaver, who will be undergoing court-ordered anger management therapy and parenting classes from the county jail, has also been named in a civil suit filed this morning by the attorney for the illegal immigrants union, claiming deprivation of income and discriminatory hiring. If convicted on all counts, Mr. Cleaver could be facing several consecutive life sentences.
