What would you do if your kid did this?

[888theGreat]

I think you know my answer.

I would beat the shit out of him

I would ground him for life

Nothing because I am a wimp.

[The_Maphio]

First thing, show him who's the boss in the household by slapping him back with an adult's force (not turning his head 180° though. Dead people don't learn), secondarily by inflicting him some kind of grounding punishment, that will make them think twice about recurring to violence as the first choice AND to show such a lack of respect towards the family members.

That kid has never been educated, and a total lack of punishment after a fuckup made him think that he could do as he pleased.

[The_Maphio]

By the way, a whole lot of replies give me hope for a more decent generation to come.
Please do not let me down, as members of the same genre.

[Guanfei]

Kid would need to learn to fly very quickly.

[Daniela1982]

What did the lady on the show do when that happened? It was probably staged and scripted anyway. Dr. Phil is more about commercials than show which is why I wouldn't watch him. If a kid of mine did that I would help him out the door.

[888theGreat]

Could you handle him? He might slap you around for an hour. You know what my choice is. I mean hitting a girl is bad, but slapping you mom is unacceptable.

[Daniela1982]

That's because the kids were either not loved or the parents never set boundaries and spoiled them rotten.

[888theGreat]

Like my 30 and under question. I think this kid is the one I am talking about.

[888theGreat]

Is he a real doctor?

[siseñor]

time for la chancla, just how my father used to make 🤌

[The_Maphio]

You just made me recall the laser-precision slipper throws that my granma was notorious for.
I don't know how, but she NEVER missed. I learned to block her throws after a while, but she'd still hit me more often than not.

[MotorcycleMan]

Absolutely unacceptable.
I would: Teach him that violence is never the answer. Teach him to respect women and especially his mother. Let him know that this behavior is not an option.

[888theGreat]

How would you do that?

[MotorcycleMan]

With a lifetime of positive examples. Once you get that far it's difficult to correct. Much easier to prevent it in the first place. How did this kid get to the place where he thought that was OK?
How to correct? Talk to a specialist.

Only one time did my son get to the point where he wanted to use violence against me (which is almost in the job description for a 16-year-old boy). He started pushing his boundaries to see where they were. He was standing there with his little chest puffed out poking me in the chest with his finger asking "What are you going to do about it? Huh?"
I calmly handed him a cardboard box and told him I was going to have him pack his shit because I would not allow that in my house. The look on his face was priceless and he said he had nowhere to go. I told him that he is welcome to stay here, but that any kind of physical aggression would not be tolerated.
Of course, if you are going to say something like that, you have to be prepared to let him move out. You can't bluff that.

[Mangospacho]

My kids know not to do this. That kid was never punished and I saw the whole episode too. The problem was the mom let the kid do whatever he wanted and then they were shocked at his bad decision making.

[Shaggy_KW]

I said beat the shit out of him but I won't be throwing haymakers, only thing I'll be throwing is his toys on eBay and my belt on his ass.

[NathanDavis]

first of all, I raised that kid, right? so I clearly failed him as a father... so it would be time to have a serious talk with myself, that's why I would first of all.

[Sevenpointfive]

i have no idea. thankfully i'll never have to answer

[jshm2]

Depends on context.

Also, some kids have mental issues.

[888theGreat]

Context is honor thy mother or hold your butt for months

[Laciandmaci]

Boot camp/military school!

[007kingifrit]

a beating and then military school

[888theGreat]

He needs to run some.

[joeldalton]

His ass would be grass.

[Wise4myage]

One ass whopping coming up.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

He won't dare to being with not to me nor his mom.

[JesseJayNeak]

His ass would be red
