Actually, unless grandma gained unlawful entry to the home and was posing a physical threat to the residents, that law wouldn’t apply.

“What kind of moron spanks a 7 month old baby? The same kind of moron who would taser a 79 year old woman.
Lord help this little baby boy.”

I agree completely, with the addition of: What kind of moron lets her husband spank her baby and taser her grandmother and thinks he’s in the right?? In 20 years there will be a story about this baby being arrested for assault; we can only hope it’s against his dad.

As long as he was going to physically assault an old woman, I wonder what prevented him from simply picking her up, dropping her on the front porch and shutting the door?

I bet he was just waiting for an opportunity to use his brand new taser on *somebody*.

Somewhere like GA,TX, or OK… not surprising. Of course, legality is not morality. Sometimes the two coincide, but that depends on which set of morals is applied.

I agree with him. Violence can be a useful educational tool. In this case, I think it ought to be used to teach this gentleman not to torture old ladies.

â€œIn his rights?â€ Morally, or ethically? All he had to do was call the cops. Did he really feel that threatened by the 79-year-old woman?

Legally, anyway. I don’t know where he lives, but it it is somewhere like Georgia, Texas or Oklahoma with a “Make my Day” law, he could have killed her and it would have been legal.

There is nothing a child that young can do, or understand they’re doing to warrent a spanking. I would have done the same thing as the grandmother. Personally I think childrens aide should be looking into this.

Just read the MSN report on this “news item” the baby was 7 months old and was “swatted on his diapered bottom” because he was reaching for electrical cords.

Hitting a baby is NEVER ok. move the baby, move the cords and listen to the grandmother!

GodDamn people like this.

Frankly, regardless of whether spanking a child is acceptable or not, I’d say he just reinforced the idea of “Spanking = Violence” by remorselessly attacking a 79-year-old woman. Not the best way to prove one’s point, unless the point is “I’m A Nasty Bully”…

The grandmother refused to leave the house because she knew he was going to hit the child – age around 1-2 years – even though he repeatedly warned her that he was going to use a stun-gun on her – I’d say that took some guts on Grandma’s part.

God help the child.

He was in his rights.

It’s his home.
