Did father who dragged his son naked through streets for disobeying him Go Too Far?

I would hate to see what he would do if the child did not eat all his vegetables at dinner time.

I can just imagine that was one bad case of road burn.

The father could have dragged his kid by the arm and pulled on it when the boy wouldn't follow, but stripping him naked and dragging him on the ass on hard pavement is too extreme. That kid is probably going to suffer major psychological damage from that experience. The boy may have disobeyed, but that's what teenagers do! There are far more better ways to discipline somebody than this.

Un poco

Monkey sees, monkey does? They basically live in a society that took overeaction to the next level....say what you think and you´re an enemy of the state (unless you say what "they" want you to think of course), communication isnt high on the priority list of things to teach the populace there so you get these kinds of situations where extreme acts are so commonly accepted that parents believe they should do this kind of bs to teach their kids.... welcome to the police state...(perhaps better get used to it ^^)

im effin so mad by this. im gonna go play tetherball.

I never heard/seen parents literally dragging their kid out. That with the hair pulling would been enough to show what he meant, but taking his clothes off? Thats a bit too extreme.

In China, the father would have been within his rights to take a bamboo cane and beat the child to a bloody pulp, leaving permanant scars.

That's just wrong.

Maybe the little gremlin might learn something.

I know it's a different city &culture; but still.

There's nothing to see here; move along.

should have left his clothes on, but I agree with the rest of it.

Yes, way too far.

What do you do with a child who insists on disobeying? I am the father of six and understand that every child is different in what will impress the need to do as they are told.

From the article we see this:
Lu Tan, 39, said he had warned son Xiaomeng, 14, dozens of times not to play computer games, adding: 'I chucked the computer in the bin because he spent all his time in his room doing no work - but then when I came home from work I found he had gone to the internet cafe.'

He could have beaten the kid but I think his method probably made a greater impression on the boy.

I would have put a piece of cardboard under his butt about halfway home

Yes he is the most stupidest dad on this entire world! How could you do that to your son????????? Yes, the boy didn't obey the dad but still... no loving father would ever think of humiliating the son like that. I hate this bloody father! He must be really nut!! Someone take him to hospital please!

Ok, i understand the need to punish his son for disobeying hm. but he went too far. ok, dragging him home by the ear or something is okay, but stripping him naked and then do that? that is ridiculous. There is also the possibility of someone taking his son's naked picture and making a porn out of it. it is a possibility. the father also make his son embarassed and now his son might not be able to face people he knew because of that. Also, when i get too pc addicted, my mother takes my pc, locks it in her room and has my sister watching over me. I never went to a internet cafe. it is idiotic really. The punishment the father gave his son is one of the most idiotic and stupid things i have ever seen someone do. i might not be a mother, but i have watched over my nephew many times. when he did something bad, i asked him why he did it, and told him after he explained to me why that what he did was bad. couldnt this father just ask his son why he sat on the pc? then he could find the source of the problem and fix it. there are many reasons to sit on a pc. for entertanement, for conversations with friends, to escape problems etc. For me, my pc is my escape from the real world when i need something to distract me with my problems.

What is it with the whole getting the kids naked for punishment thing I've been hearing lately? Sure if they've misbehaved give them a suitable punishment, but keep their clothes on and hands off privates - geeesh, it's just weird.

Before PASSING JUDGEMENT.

Realize that this might be ACCEPTABLE in China.

Anyone having lived overseas for even a small time...realizes... that different rules apply in different cultures.

It was within the last ten or fifteen years... When the Chinese... actually SHOT managers in inner China... IF they failed to perform up to state Standards.

I remember reading about the Head managers being SHOT because they brought disgrace to China... because of poor quality in a product sold here in the United States.

So take the photo with a grain of salt... WAS the father arrested by the police???

Good Grief

but lol anywho xD

but lol anywho xD

That is awfully violent, there had to be a more effective way.

For us? Yes.
For the Chinese? No.

DAMMM...HE COULDVE JUST GIVEN HIM A BEATING OR SOMETHING......THATS A LITTLE KID....NOT A 17 YEAR OLD....

I would never talk to my father again.

No, but in all seriousness, the kid needed to be punished, sure. That level of disobedience was ridiculous. It was out of hand. However, I'm not sure public stripping and dragging him through the streets was right. I just can't imagine doing that to a child, no matter what he did. But, I also understand that he isn't my child, so in retrospect, I have no say in the matter.

Here you go pedophiles...What an idiot! People are taking pictures of your kid's wang and I don't mean his cousin! This is absurd!

It is sad, it had to resort to this. There are Asian kids that no longer focused on their schooling and they hang out in the Internet Cafe.

He sounds more American... :-)

some of the comments from the original story are appalling

drag him home by the hair or the ear if you must, but stripping him naked and dragging his bare ass down the pavement is a bit extreme.

I think the naked part is what angered me mostly as well.

yes that is un necessary on so many different ways... a time out or a grounded would have worked that man doesn't have the rights to be a father if he's going to do that crap

Ppppahahahaha. TIME OUT?! For a FOURTEEN year old?! Oh...you're thirteen. From a mom to a kid: when you have kids, you'll figure out during the terrible twos that while dragging them through the streets naked is overkill, a good butt-popping is absolutely necessary to raise a balanced, well-behaved, well-adjusted child.

fine ground him do what ever idc ok if u cant handle the responsabilty of kids dont do wat it takes to make one and i am very intellegent on a way to raise kids i have two younger siblings that i could take care of sense i was five and they are perfectly fine. I have pretty much taken care of them there whole life so don't talk to me about how bad it is to have a couple

Oh wow. AND you aren't literate. I wasn't attacking you initially...but that's what I get for throwing a "haha" in the direction of a child...

i dont care what u ment it was still offensive

MEANT.
