US Soldier Waterboards 4-Year-Old Daughter For Not Knowing Alphabet

Now that is one kid that is going to know her ABC's the next time she's asked...

I read that story, and that is abusive, but the title is leftist hype, as he did not "waterboard" her. He stuck her head in a sink of water. Yes, that's not good, and child abuse, I'd say, but the wording of the story is liberal hype fueled.

Lol, yah I noticed that too but that's how the media is today. He dunked her head in a bowl of water, which is not waterboarding, but since he was a US soldier they couldn't miss the opertunity to point out how he is an evil imperial storm trooper using Bush/Cheney torture techniques to punish his kid.

Still, terrible story, I hope he rots.

The years I spent in the military I've heard some sick sh!t but this takes the cake. I had to get a little rough my boy (after all he's half me and just as hard headed), but I think he turned out all right. I didn't torture him or beat him to a pulp, but the "Board of Education" warmed his seat more than once. This guy needs to be handed over to my old group and used for unconventional interrogation practice. Let him see what it's like, it's always the ones who have never had it done to them are the first to use it.

Yah I would ove to meet the mother if this guy was deemed more stable to take care of the kid than her lol.

I'm simple. Nothing physical. I stick with time-out, and it seems to work just fine.

Must be young?

Wait until they get older.

I've considered thumbscrews a few times :lol:

[sgreger1]

lolo, yah I have given a little spanking to my daughter once or twice, but I always feel so bad afterwards I just can't bring myself to doing it again. She has become a little monster lately and sometimes I wanna smack her when she wakes me up to play at 5am but she has that puppy face that you can't be mad at.

Time outs just piss her off too, so i'm pretty much out of ammo. Better get the terry cloth and a gallon of water :wink:

Parenting is making sure they know their sh*t and reinforcing their education and knowing that the kid was going to get a bad grade and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT that does not entail abuse or strange punishments BEFORE the report card comes in.

There is no excuse for doing something to your children that has the slightest chance of hurting, harming or terrifying them.

I just get angry that someone could do that to their kids.

I like the timeout or taking away something (I never use food as a punishment) they like for my kids, but they don't do much to incur punishments because I don't throw out idle threats. I make promises and they know it.

WTF is wrong with people!!!??? What happened to parents encouraging their kids to get good grades with bribery!? How about helping their kids with homework to prevent bad grades? I hope Hammer Mom and PTSD Dad NEVER see their children again! I'm off to hug my kid now...
