A Jackson man whipped his naked 14-year-old son with a leather belt while he led him by the wrist up and down a Jackson street, police and prosecutors say.

<snipped>

The father then led the teen by the wrist up High Street about 9:30 p.m., when it was still light out. The son told police he was embarrassed. Numerous cars drove by honking and neighbors mocked him as friends looked on, the son told police.

The son complied because he didn't want to be hit with the belt anymore, he told police.

Once they returned to the house, the son was forced to sit on the porch for 20 minutes, still naked. He eventually grabbed his clothes, dressed and made it to his mother's house on Van Buren Street. She called police.

A police officer observed five large welts on the teen's back and arm.

[Misunderestimator]

5. Holy shit! I hope they put that man in jail and take away custody.

:mad:

[auntAgonist]

12. I can't say what I hope happens ..grrr

but yes, ..he should definitely NEVER be allowed custody of the child again.

[wildhorses]

7. wtf...

"....apparently became enraged when he thought his son was allowing relatives into their house in the 400 block of High Street to have sex..."


he thinks....doubt he has the brain capacity with which this process occurs x(

[crim son]

9. I think that punishment and humiliation are two different issues.

That father should be prosecuted. He's not fit to raise children.

[auntAgonist]

10. absolutely!

This is abuse. Criminal. I pray the child never has to be in his midst again, and I pray the child gets the help he needs. This 'man' should never be permitted to be near children again. I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

11. I would have grabbed that whip and whipped that man

that's what my uncle did when he saw a guy whipping his horse

[auntAgonist]

24. me too Skittles!!! n/t

[Dangerously Amused]

33. You AND your uncle kick ass!

:hug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. Wonder if Limbaugh would have a problem with this?

sounds like nothing more than a fraternity type prank to me :puke:

[SofaKingLiberal]

28. Rush would say that this type of abuse doesn't happen often enough.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. The adult neighbors who mocked should be charged with conspiracy

I hope the DA gets creative on this one

[auntAgonist]

15. yes! ! ! n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. Certainly it could stick on the second degree child abuse charge

since they were part of the harm perpetrated against the minor

[Dangerously Amused]

34. And enhanced as abuse by an adult "with a duty to protect."

:thumbsup:

[Kajsa]

30. I agree!

They were no better than that sick father!

Bastards, all of them!!!

[tinfoil tiaras]

17. Why all of the sudden is this crazy shit happening in Jackson

either it's something in the water or Frank Melton....

i heard that Al Queda wanted to attack Jackson (WTF) b/c some crazy ass church burned a Koran. First, why would you burn a Koran in the first place? It's highly disrespectful and shows how ignorant you are...goddammit...i just wish people weren't so damn stupid...:mad:

Plus, what would Al Queda attack in Jackson? The Wal Mart Supercenter?!?!

[auntAgonist]

18. ? ? ? Jackson MI not Mississippi. n/t

[tinfoil tiaras]

22. Oh, okay

Didn't know...

should obey his father.

"The father apparently became enraged when he thought his son was allowing relatives into their house in the 400 block of High Street to have sex, a police report said."

Great job dad. The kid will live, no harm done except to his ego and wimpy tearjerking liberals.

20. "wimpy tearjerking liberals" don't produce Timothy McVeighs.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

21. This is horrendous.

I'm not surprised the neighbors just sat and watched. Rural America has this sick "mind your own business" attitude about child/sexual abuse.

I'm not blaming the kid in ANY way, shape, or form, and I can't begin to imagine the circumstances involved here, so please don't misconstrue this comment - I know I sure as fuck would not let my dad beat me like that. The only time my dad ever did raise a hand to me when I was a teenager, I grabbed his hand and told him not to even think about it, because I would absolutely fight back. Still, I know a lot of kids are literally programmed to accept abuse because that's what they're raised on. It's an absolute shame. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have kids in the first place.

edit for typo

[WildEyedLiberal]

27. Careful with the broadbrush stereotyping of "rural America"

I grew up in a small town and can tell you that most of the people I know would NEVER have just sat and watched this with a "mind your own business" attitude. Are there some that would? Of course, but there are many people in cities and suburbs who don't give a shit what happens to their neighbors, either. Remember, Kitty Genovese was brutally murdered in New York City and none of her neighbors - who could hear her screams as she was being killed - cared enough to pick up the phone and call the police. So much for the superior sense of neighborliness in urban areas...

[flvegan]

25. I know of a certain Jackson man that would've gotten a haymaker

were I in that area.

The only funny part would be that once in jail, not only would this guy get shit for beating and embarrassing his kid, he'd also have to tell general population that he got his ass kicked by a vegan.

[auntAgonist]

26. I wonder how tough he'll be in jail?

makes me so angry!!!!!!!!!

[Midlodemocrat]

29. I would have pepper sprayed that SOB. I have a 14yo son and

I can't imagine anyone treating him like that. I would rip the fucking head off anyone who touched my one of my children.

[LeftyMom]

31. Why doesn't anybody do shit like this where I see?

I have a tire iron, childhood issues, a little boy and an attitude problem. Take pity on the stupid motherfucker who abuses thier kid where I can see.

[tigereye]

32. my gawd, why didn't someone call the police??!!!

that is just unimaginable! :grr:

[auntAgonist]

35. that is what I don't understand.

even if the guy was a huge hulk of a man, which he might have been I'd still have found a phone. Most people have cell phones (?). I would not, could not have stood idly by and watched this.
