Father Beats 6-Year-Old Over Poor Video Game Play

Maybe the kid will stop sucking at video games.

Well I read through the comments on the news article and the reason this is newsworthy is because the man is apparently on the sexual predators list and has multiple cases of actual abuse on his record.

This case is arguable over it being abuse because of why the kid got his back end tanned. Simply leaving a red mark that fades away after a couple of hours is hardly enough to call it abuse, I remember more then enough times when I had trouble sitting later in the day after I mouthed off or did something I was not supposed to do

It's shit like this that makes me glad I don't live in Cincinnati at all. It's a farging zoo around there 24/7. Domestic Violence & Rape Crimes become the biggest crimes of America & now this shit. This pussy is going to get his balls cut off for sure when his sentence gets carried out.

What we got here is failure to communicate!

I doubt video games are to blame, they're just looking for a scapegoat.

Chances are this isn't a one off case, he probably gets beaten for not doing the washing up on time, not going to sleep when told etc. Parents like that, once they get into the habit of hitting their child don't just do it for one reason.

Looks like someone takes video games a LITTLE too seriously.

Altough the thing is surely fishy, in need of more info, he may be right... (or he may be totally wrong...)

I got beaten by my father once because I constantly failed at a game... He told me to do not get the medpacks that I found, and use them only when I needed, I ignored him and kept failing...

Only later I understood that he was trying to teach me that I have to foresee the things that I may need and think, instead of just acting, fortunally the lesson worked and this can be applied to non-videogamey things...

In fact, all the times that my father spanked me he was right... Even when it looked plain wrong when he did it... Now he is a proud father of having a son that soon will kickass in the videogame industry \o/ :P

I use the, "Let the punishment fit the crime," rule, and this fails on all fronts -- if it's reported accurately.  I have no faith in our media to get "Breaking News" correct.

The 10th anniversary of Columbine brought how shitty our media is into sharp relief.

So... what happens if the old guy fails at a video game, shoot him? I donno, smells like trap to me, though messed up if true.

Honestly, this guy must be fucked up in the head if he hits his son just b/c the boy fails at the game he plays.

Anyway, here's hoping the kid's all right, and that he becomes an excellent gamer when he grows up.

I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy. You don't hit a kid just because he sucks.

Not even if he goes B with the bomb when everyone else is going A? :P

I'm sorry, it's not exactly the best article to joke about, but I couldn't help myself.
