Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

I saw an article yesterday that said they are trying to get him into mental therapy and counseling or something, they said he beat up his grandmother in a Walmart. That damn kid is in need of some serious justice, he's been watching too much Eric Cartman.

LAKE PARK, Fla. -- A 7-year-old boy who took his grandmother's car on a joyride last month has been taken for a mental health evaluation after he allegedly beat her up inside a South Florida Wal-Mart, WPBF News 25 reported.

Latarian Milton told WPBF on April 28 that he took his grandmother's Dodge Durango on a joyride because he was mad at his mother and because he enjoyed doing "bad things."

"I wanted to do it because it's fun. It's fun to do bad things," Milton said. "I wanted to do hood-rat stuff for my friend."

Milton's grandmother, Vikkita Stratford, told WPBF that the 7-year-old took his mischievous activities to a new level Monday when she said he beat her up inside a Lake Park Wal-Mart.

According to Stratford, the problem began when Milton asked his grandmother for some chicken wings. When she refused, Milton walked over over to the counter and ordered them anyway.

Stratford said that when she confronted him about it, Milton just snapped.

"He just started hitting me -- just started hitting me in front of the whole Wal-Mart. Every one in there was upset," Stratford said.

Stratford told WPBF that Milton hit her stomach, legs and "wherever he could reach me."

Riviera Beach police picked up Milton from his home and took him to an area hospital for a mental health evaluation Monday afternoon, WPBF reported. The 7-year-old can be held for up to 72 hours while he is evaluated by mental health officials.

Stratford said that she believes Milton's problems are due to a bad atmosphere with his parents.

"I know what causes the behavior, cause all he's ever seen was his parents do physical and abusive and verbal things, and I don't want him to continue in this direction so I'm doing the best I can to get him the help," she told WPBF.

Stratford said that she is worried about what will happen once the 7-year-old is released from his evaluation. She also told WPBF that she is making sure that Milton won't have access to her rental car while her SUV is being repaired.

"When I first got the rental he said, 'Oh, you know, let me take this for a spin," Stratford said. "So now I just sleep with the keys. I lock them up."

Like I said in my earlier post- really nice parenting. This kid needs the scared straight program or something. I say lock him up for a weekend so he can see how "cool" it ends up being when you do "hood-rat stuff."

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

Maybe it's just me, but I find it funny he likes to do "hood rat" stuff with his friend and how he initially felt no videogames for one weekend was a suffice punishment. Of course it is sad, because his parents are responsible, and they probably weren't good influences.

I am surprised the grandma even took the kid out to the mall, after he wrecked her car.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

OMG...serious beat down is in order.

If I was that lady I'd probably put him in juvy for the weekend or something to see if that scares him straight, and if he comes out of juvy still acting like a tough guy I'd put his ass on hardcore 24/7 lockdown, i.e. he goes to school every day, he comes home right after school, no t.v., video games, etc., all he can do is stay in his room and study, or rather make him sit at the table next to his grandmother and study so she could keep an eye on him, and do that for a week and in the 50/50 chance that doesn't straighten his ass out, it's time for a beatdown. Not a literal beatdown, but suffice punishment to make him think twice next time he decides to act like an idiot.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

I would stomp the shit out of this little kid. Maybe take away all the candy and sugar from his diet (looks like Jr. could stand to lose a few lbs). Unbelievable, and he doesn't even care.

It's scary good really.
He remembers stuff from months ago and posts them like it was nothing.

You either are full of ginko biloba, or you live for this site.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!

It's all these tree huggers that came up with the idea that you shouldn't spank your child, and if you do, then social services will come and take your kid away.
I've seen kids at Wal Mart actually HIT their mothers / fathers, and those parents just take it. I shake my head in disgust, but there is nothing you can do. Discipline is not a bad thing people...and this is coming from a guy that was abused as a child.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

I agree to an extent Js. I don't think beating your child every instance of disobedience will help much. I was never abused, but the times that I was an ass to my parents, I did receive a slap across the face.

My younger brother, on the other hand, doesn't receive any kind of punishments (slaps, timeouts, etc) and he can be a really winy kid at times. Perhaps its just me being old, and claiming it was "different" when I was raised.

Well, I am in no way condoning beating your child for every instance of disobedience, however, I do prescibe to the theory of "spare the rod, spoil the child".
I'm old enough to have seen this first hand. I've seen undisciplined kids turn into "adults" and I'll tell you, I don't like what I am seeing.

As a psychology major, there is psychological evidence that beating your child can cause emotional trauma. BUT....

In respect to the psychological evidence, I think theres a fine line you walk between disciplining a kid and just beating the shit out of him over the pettiest thing, and thats where I think the psychological evidence part comes in and is supported.

But as a kid growing up and getting beat and when you beat them when the situation calls for it, it works. I respect my grandmother and my elders to the fullest.

I mean, I see kids get tugged around and beat over the stupidest things and I can't stand parents who fucking scream in their kids faces in the middle of a store.

Sometimes it's the parents that need a good beating rather than the kid.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

I say put the little bastard on a natural diet of no food for a week and beating exercise. Psychological impact or not, this kid is going down the shitter if he isn't straightened out ASAP. If nothing is done he'll be doing more "hood rat stuff with my friend" in the near future.

Oh no, I totally agree that this particular kid needs a beating. And I don't think him watching his parents beat each other was doing any good in his life either. Many kids who watch their parents abuse each other, grow up to be abusers themselves. Case and point.

But I'm more so arguing against beating a kid over petty shit. I mean I see kids get dragged around by their parents and hit in the face and stuff. And I'm not talking 7 or 8 year olds, I'm mean way younger than that. 2 or 3 or 4 year olds. I'm like come on man, that's a fucking baby, they don't know better. Or yelling at a kid for whining. I mean if they're 9 or 10, they can get away with a little whining but not excessively. But if they're 4 or 5, screaming at your kid for whining I think is fucked up.

I've seen kids get hit for asking, "Why?" Maybe I'm a little radical, but I feel like a kid has the right to ask why. And "because I said so" doesn't exactly fly with me. If I'm gonna punish my kid, I will have a valid reason, and if they wanna know, then I'll tell them and if they don't like it? Well, I guess that's tough.

Re: In dire need of a life-changing beating!!!!
 

I'm with jsarno on the "spare the rod, spoil the child" belief. That's how I was raised. Shoot, growing up in the south you got spanked by everybody... parents, grandparents, teachers, family friends... it didn't matter. There's a big difference in beating your child and spanking them. If you're leaving bruises on a child, that's unacceptable. I don't believe in smacking your child across the face either. My dad always said that's what your rear end was designed for.

I think one of the biggest problems is when parents don't follow through on their ultimatums. You can tell a child to stop doing something as much as you want, but the moment you attach a consequence to their action and you don't follow through, the child learns how to manipulate you.

Excellent post. You are right on the money.

DRave, not to poo on psychology, but just about everything causes emotional trauma. People / kids / adults, whoever, need to be raised well enough to understand shit happens and overcome obsticles, whether emotional or physical.
I was abused for 18 years, so I could have taken the path of victim, and poor me, but I chose to realize that life can suck sometimes, but that doesn't mean life always sucks. I can focus on the negative, or try to learn something from it and change my life accordingly. Wisdom is only acheived through adversity.
I do sincerely hope no one goes through any kind of abuse of their life. It's a terrible thing to happen to anyone!
