Caught on Vid: Father orders son to punch another boy
http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf...schoolers.html
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A disturbing video being shared on Facebook shows an adult ordering two children to fight one another in front of a group of their peers outside what parents on the social media site claim is a Staten Island schoolyard. blurimage1.png A disturbing video being shared on Facebook shows an adult ordering two children to fight one another in front of a group of their peers outside what parents on the social media site claim is a Staten Island schoolyard. (Facebook video) "Right now. Punch him in his face," the man says to a red-headed boy featured in the cell phone video. The Facebook user who originally posted the video claims that the incident involves two students from PS 60 in Graniteville, who start fighting outside the school after supposedly being told to do so by someone she identifies as the father of one of the boys. Fox 5 News reported that the Department of Education said the school's principal met with the 5th grade student and his father on Tuesday, and the student is now facing disciplinary action. Police say a report was taken and they are investigating, according to Fox. A DOE spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment. While the video was posted this week, it is not clear when the incident took place. The student follows the adult's orders in the video and takes a swing at the boy leaning against the fence. He then turns his back to the other boy, appearing as if he wants the fight to end. But the sole adult in the video yells at him to continue the brawl. "Turn around...come here..do it again," the adult says to the boy. The two children continue to fight, tackling one another to the ground. Their peers surround them and yell, as one onlooker captures the entire episode on a cell phone camera. "That's enough," the man says, ending the brief fight after the boys get off the ground. The video has been shared more than 280 times via Facebook, with users expressing disgust and disbelief over the actions of the adult. "Father of PS 60 Alice Austen elementary school telling his son to punch another kid in the face. This is absolutely disgusting. What kind of parent are you?" the original post reads. "This father needs to be arrested for endangering the welfare of a child," reads another user's post. And another said: "If it were my kid I would press charges on that parent for endangering the welfare of a child. If the other child was bullying that child then take the appropriate steps to have the situation rectified." 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"> |

The adult should be charged for assault on a miner even if he didn't do the fighting.

I remember in HS gym class if you got in a fight coach would lock the 2 of you in his office to fight with no onlookers. That would never fly in today's schools.

Do kids not get into fights anymore? I'm having a hard time getting worked up over this. Sure the kids father is probably stupid for being there encouraging the fight. If his son had a problem with this particular kid, he should have told either try to kick his ass or stop complaining about him.
Besides the video and the presence of the father, this is a scene you could have seen weekly when I was growing up. Nobody got hurt and nobody was suspended from school. |

When I was 7 years old I came home crying and telling my dad that I had gotten beat up on the playground. He ordered me back to the playground the next morning and said next time someone hits you, you defend yourself and fight back.
So, off I go to the playground and I do exactly as I was told. I don't pick a fight with anybody, but the first time I was hit, I fought back and beat the crap out of them. I was super excited that I had defended myself and that it had worked. I ran home and told my dad about it. He looked at me and said "Well, I'm proud of you, son. From now on you defend yourself anytime somebody picks on you." About ten minutes later the doorbell rings and my dad answers it. At the door is a lady and her 9 year old daughter. The daughter has a fat lip and a bloody nose. The lady looks at my dad and says "I believe your son just beat up my daughter at the playground." Y'all should have seen the look my dad gave me. |
