A Cincinnati man allegedly hit his son over poor video-game performance. The Cincinnati Enquirer has reported:

"An East Price Hill father beat his 6-year-old son for playing a video game poorly, Cincinnati police say.

Terry Taulbee is accused of hitting the boy on his lower back and buttocks, leaving a large red hand mark, court records state. The area swelled and caused pain for the child.

The victim’s mother told police Taulbee became upset when the boy didn’t play a video game well."

First off: what a miserable piece of excrement. There's never a good reason for a father to hit a child, but doing it over something as frivolous as gaming is...sickening.

It's great that more and more families are gaming together these days. Unfortunately, games are also bringing together families with psychotic tendencies.

The dad is really stupid! :mad: Hitting a kid :(

Fuck that man.
I hope he gets butt-fucked real hard by Butch.
Even though it isnt a "blame video games" death, but still.
Close enough.

If the kid was like 15 and his dad slapped him in the head without being really serious then that's funny. But wtf 6 years old?? What a fucking dick

That's just fucking terrible. Really how can you do that to somebody for no reason and make them feel like they did something bad? That's gonna traumatize him for a while probably :\. Hope that bastard father gets what's coming to him though.
