Charles S. Enloe...hit his son on the buttocks three times with a belt... He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

If a belt is a "deadly weapon", does Massachusettes require a permit to wear a belt?

What about suspenders?

Was Ted Kennedy charged with assault with a deadly Oldsmobile? I think not!

You only need a permit to wear a concealed belt.

I could not imagine what things I would have done when I was a boy if not for knowing my father would lay me over his bed and strap my ass with his belt.

THANKS, DAD!

But police have to follow the letter of the law. My father was a police officer. I'm not angry at them, and I don't blame my son.''

Nice to see that Mr. Enloe is taking the matter of his individual rights being eviscerated in such a polite manner.

THIS is the reason that kids no longer have any sense of right and wrong. When the unholy police state can arrest a parent for spanking one of their own children with a belt, and charge him with assault with a deadly weapon, you know that society is very near to collapse.

A belt? Jeez! What pussies we have become. My dad used to use one of those old cloth covered electrical cords on me twice. That kept me staight until I went to college.

There was right and there was wrong and the cord was there to enforce discipline when I did wrong. Just knowing that was enough to keep me from screwing up once I felt it.

His son had improved academically since coming to live with him in March...the police report quotes Enloe as saying.

Makes me wonder if the dad isn't trying to correct some bad behavior the boy learned while living with his mother.

Every time someone says "I blame the parents for not disciplining their children or where is the father" this is part of the answer.

They probably would have given my Dad the Death Penalty......I should have been so lucky to get the belt....I got the cat-o-nine-tails....!

What's the statute of limitations on this? My old man and I could be in for some jail time.
