Title: Dad & Uncle Chain Teen to Bumper Post by: Ash on October 08, 2009, 02:28:34 AM This happened in Davenport, Iowa which is about an hour away from where I live. http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/63649927.html From the comments on that page, it appears that the community supports the dad and uncle. What do you think? Title: Re: Dad & Uncle Chain Teen to Bumper Post by: ghouck on October 08, 2009, 10:13:09 AM I bet the kid gets no sympathy from Jack about now. . . :teddyr:
Title: Re: Dad & Uncle Chain Teen to Bumper Post by: Jack on October 08, 2009, 10:18:23 AM I would have at least run down to the hardware store and gotten a decent eye bolt to attach to the wall. A rusty bumper in the house? That's just bad parenting.

But just locking him up in the house for 15 minutes? I dunno, I'm not ready to scream "child abuse" right off the bat. Sounds like the kid is a real hellion. Title: Re: Dad & Uncle Chain Teen to Bumper Post by: 3mnkids on October 08, 2009, 12:09:04 PM It doesn't sound like abuse but the act of a desperate parent. I will say as a mother of a child that is out of control at times, I feel for the dad. Hopefully this kid can get some help and he and his father can work things out.
