Deer Park TX Dad slaps 12yr boy bullying his step daughter

[deerplanter]

I work in Deer Park and it's odd that didn't make the local news or I just missed it somehow.

Men don't slap.

Oh yes they do. Nothing more demeaning to a richard head than slapping him. It will normally make him fight even if he doesn't really want to........

Always sent your oldest son to take care of this kind of thing. At least that's what dad did when I was growing up. Yes I was the oldest son.

Lot of defense here for the Dad, and alot of tough guy responses. How about this- don't hit other people's kids?? This wasn't some 12yr old raping his daughter...he was calling her names. What sort of lesson is it sending the girl... that anytime someone calls her names daddy has to come running to help?

I expect my daughter to take care of herself the same way as I taught my son. I had the **** beat out of me growing up- it didn't teach me any lesson other than to dodge punches!

Im torn. Clearly he shouldnt have slapped the kid. But it sure seems like the kid deserved it.

My opinion is that we have a real issue not allowing kids to fight back when bullied, and protecting those that cant fight back. At least he stood up for her.

I’m going to guess that either
A) Dad is absent
Or
B) dad treats mom similarly

Agree.

I saw my dad slap "backhand" a guy several years ago, and I bet that other guy would disagree with you, lol.

On topic, I know of a few 12 year olds that could stand a little wake up call.

Im not mad at the dad and if I was sitting on a jury I can put him in jail for it. Did he take it too far? Probably. Did junior need a pimp slap delivered? Certainly. Kids can be Richard heads but they need to work it out themselves.

As for calling the law over the name calling?? Just what good is that? LE cant discipline the bully no more than the girls dad can.

It sounds like the stepdad went too far. In today's society, a simple call to the Deer park police would have been plenty good for the boy. Obviously, the boy isn't getting proper raising at home (I'd say 65+% of kids don't nowadays).

We live in Deer Park,and a call to DPPD is useless,all you will get is a excuse on how there is nothing they can do.

Your kid like to throw ice cream?

We’re hearing one side of the story. No telling what actually happened. I typically don’t put much stock in the news, or 12 year old girls with hurt feelings.

I lived in Deer Park for 33 years, retired and moved away Four years ago. In the Deer Park Police Departments defense I have to disagree with you on your statement. That being said it’s only my 2 cents. The atmosphere, citizen make up has changed allot over the years and their hands are tied on allot of things they used to could control. Not that I ever needed their intervention on anything but again just my opinion. They keep it a nice quiet community but as all communities there are their share of problems.

now days you can't even discipline your own kids without being charged with a felony. any assault on a minor is an automatic felony case.
and there was a police officer that did the same thing to a detained 17 yo and all he got was put on leave.

You put your hands on my kid we are going to have a discussion. Did the boy deserve it, yes he did. But from his parents not a stranger. Teach young ladies that a square kick to the twig and berries will stop such harassment real quick.

From the beginning of time there have always been kids that are turds who act like jerks. When did parents stop being parents? I'm talking about both sides here. The ones that are "raising" a low character individual and the Dad that decided to slap a 12 year old boy that isn't his.
