Dad arrested for forcing son to wear Packer's jersey

“We’ve been unable to uncover any evidence to suggest that this boy was not a Packers fan,” Smith said.

wtf lol

That's the part that got my attention the most too, lol.

Well, given the charges (that the father forced the son to wear a jersey for a team whom he allegedly did not support), if they can show reasonable doubt that the son was against the Packers, then the father's lawyer might be able to get him off. Innocent until proven guilty; it's the son's lawyer's burden to prove that he was not a Packer's fan at the time of the incident.

Either someone didn't read the whole article or I just got whooshed.[/quote:3byj33j0]
My bad, I missed that. I didn't realize he pleaded no contest to making his son support the Packers. At least he got off easy. $186 isn't bad.

There's also the part where the mother apparently had pictures on her camera phone of the dad taping the kid to the chair. Can't really dispute that

I still lol'd... after reading it in my area news. The article was also followed with something like... "In most states it's legal for parental guardians to restrain a child."

What part of "It's not ok to tape your 7 year old son to a chair" are you not understanding?
