Unbelievable, the father must be a fukcing retard, you can't beast little children in the same way young squaddies are beasted in basic training.
I hope the social services are keeping an eye on the cnut from now on.

I haven't shit in a draw since i gave up the grog 5 months ago, hosin a kid down i suppose aint that bad it saves a fortune in nappies but it would be cruel for 2 hours especially in the UK with the temp they get over there.

Sounds like there's underlying problems at home if an 8 year old uses a drawer as a toilet... maybe he wasn't able to use the bathroom. Who knows with a father that reacts in such a cruel way.

'Hosing down son'

You mean that the Father pissed over the son?

Eye for an eye kind of thing then. There's a certain justice there.

a cruel man. insensitive bastard.
should have been sentenced to a hose down for 2 hours in a freezer.
with cold water.
and then left to freeze for another 2 hours.
fokin monster.
why can't this bastard be named and shamed?????

So now in the UK you can't use a hose to spray over your children as it can seem to be a criminal offence. When I was a kid no one would have battered an eyelid to this incident.

I have to confess that I hosed down my 3 year old with the bum gun today.

Even though I know exactly what you mean... it still just sounds wrong.... Like my mate (father of sweet 2 year old twin daughters) who, during a beer-fuelled discussion about kids with another mate who had just been told that his missus was expecting twins said "I don't really have a favourite one... they both have to compete for daddy's love..."

Cue short pause followed by puzzled expressions, then shock, horror, and several phonecalls to childline....

^ Come to think about it. My missus does it to my 2 youngest when they badly soil their nappies. I'll get her to stop.

^are you deliberately missing the context of this particular situation?

If your child defecated/urinated in a drawer in your house, would your response be to take him outside and hose him down? Like i said before, if a kid is doing something like that (at age 8) there's something else going on.

It's almost certain that the child has an affinity with Rotweilers and has 666 tattooed on his scalp.

^ What if the child just did it out of pure badness ? We have heard about the father, but we haven't heard about the child's behaviour history. We just take it that he's normal little Peter that never does wrong. Holly you have admit that, at times, kids drive you to the brink. Most on here seem to condemn the father and yet none of us know either player in this case.

8.
Beat. Jet wash.
Confine to bedroom for 2 days.
Then beat again.
If he's really naughty, deprive of playstation.
Get a grip you lot.

it seems harmless though

the kid probably deserved it,

Soft Britain.
This guy should be in the big house banged up with other child abusers.
Some people just aren't cut out to parent.
Agree with SDigit and hope the social services keep a close watch on the prick now.
