As a dad people like this give us a bad name. This guys is a total loser!!!!!!
Sloane Briles, 35, A California man was arrested for investigation of throwing his crying 7-year-old son into the waterfrom a sightseeing cruise boat during an argument that shocked other passengers, authorities said Monday.
If I was a passenger I am not sure what I would have done in this situation. I would have either jumped in to get the kid from the water or kicked the father’s ass. Knowing me I would have saved the kid first then beat the father. I am not an overly aggressive person but seeing something like this would TOALLY set me off. What gives that father any right to throw his kid into the water for any reason. Horse playing at the pool is one thing but off the side of a boat is a whole new ball game.
What the hell did the kids do to the father that pissed him off so bad that the father thought what he did was a good idea? Trust me as a father kids can make you extremely mad. Shaun on many occasions ticked me off beyond belief but throwing him off a boat has never once crossed my mind. I hope this father never gets to see his kids again because he obviously doesn’t give a crap about them anyway.
What are your thoughts on this?
I think we as a society need to speak up when we see things happening.
I once stopped a lady in a car and gave her the big what for for having her grandchild unbuckled in the back seat. She defended it…but at least I felt that I’d done what I could. Any maybe she thought about it later.
I’d have dialed 911 and then been in that father’s face.
We just had an article in a local paper of a dad leaving in the middle of his night leaving his 11yo alone w/ some notes to go live w/ some neighbors. He felt like he couldn’t take care of his son anymore. They just found the dad working in a deli in CA! So ridiculous!
that is ridiculous…
in our case, i probably would have jumped in to get the kid…
while marc (army man that he is) handled the dad…
wonder what the passengers did..
this father deserves to lose visitation..or at least mandated parenting classes..he’s lucky his kid wasn’t hurt!
