Let's take violence to its natural consequences... wait until the father is asleep, bind him, then start cutting off one appendage at a time. After one or two, he'll learn his lesson. Alternatively some crazy, irrational person might be insane enough to not suggest violence. For those of you who are of a view opposed to mine, keep in mind that once a nerve is severed, it cannot report pain to the brain -- and it might be worth considering, oh, say, from a crazy view, that being better than how you were raised is sometimes good. | |

(He probably would already have stopped if the kid were physically imposing.) It's at least as likely that this will be an escalation in the severity of household violence, or result in being thrown out of the house, or worse. | |
