Fed-Up Father Beats Up And Threatens 11-Year-Old For Bullying His Son

Was this reckless or just good parenting?

Father “Beats Up” 11-Year-Old For Bullying His Autistic Son

A Richmond, California father recently physically assaulted and threatened to kill an 11-year-old boy on the child’s school bus. The father reportedly knuckled-up on behalf of his 9-year-old autistic son after he reported that the child had been repeatedly bullying him. Via MailOnline:

A father has been accused of attacking and threatening to kill an 11-year-old boy who he believed had been bullying his autistic son.

Burnis Hurd, 44, is said to have followed his son onto a school bus in the Bay Area suburb of Richmond, California, before the nine-year-old pointed out the boy who he said had been bullying him.

‘The father grabbed the 11-year old by the hair, pulled hard and raised the child out of his seat, then shoved him on the side of the bus where the window meets the wall,’ Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan told CBS San Francisco.

Gagan said Hurd also threatened to kill the student during the incident on Friday, May 30.

Hurd has now been charged with child abuse and corporal injury to a child.

He remained in jail on Monday on $50,000 bond, according to The Daily Caller.

He didn’t really beat the kid so much as “get a point across.”

While it’s always good to see a parent, especially a father, go hard for their child’s well-being…is putting hands on someone else’s kid a bit too much?
