Yikes.
A video that shows a father “disciplining” his 17-year-old son for missing school with a living room boxing match has gone viral with over 1 million views and counting.
The father first explains in the video that his son skipped school, which is OK, but since the son didn’t tell the father he skipped school or why, a lesson was in order.
“Granted, I know teachers can be f***ed up so I let him know he can walk out of class, but call me so I’m on your side,” the father tells the camera. ” All day went by, he didn’t call. So now it’s discipline time.”
The father then tells the kid to get his boxing gloves on and the beat-down ensues, leaving the teen in tears with a bloody nose.
The video ends with the son apologizing to his teacher for walking out on class and a warning from the dad that his upcoming “report card better be golden.”
Watch (Warning: Graphic images):
From our quick review, comments on the father’s actions are pretty evenly mixed with roughly half saying they’re OK with what he did and the other half appalled.
Some examples:
I’d let my husband do that to our teenage son if he is being disrespectful and rude I’d let my husband put his hands on him shit there’s been time when MY own momma has taken me outside to “square up my attitude” I’d rather of learned everything from her instead of the streets

And:
Child abuse, we’ll see if he get locked up for the video.
Ignorant, yes! Why record this and post it? The world doesn’t need to know everything about your life
And:
He want his son to live so he doing all he can …you cant judge a parent for loving they child and wanting them to go right always …some discipline different if a parent dont discipline then look at the outcome
And:
Discipline is one thing but for me bustin a kids nose up is out of bounds, how can a dad do that to his own child.
Tell us what you think in the comments: Tough love or too much?
