    So are you saying that I shouldn't use an invisible fence collar to keep my kid in his crib? He keeps climbing out.

    Damn, people know how to find humor in weird ways, but shocking you're children for humor? What a fucking dumbass. Should attach like 5 shock collars to this guy!

    @ae86takumi: That is wrong on a few levels. #1, there was no scaffolding on the WTC's. Built into the exterior of the buildings were tracks which a mechanical machine would ride down to wash the windows. It too about a week to do one side of each building, so during months when the solution wouldn't freeze, they would just wash one side a week. And #2, the guy who ran the machine who they interviewed for a documentary I watched went missing on 9/11.

    I believe that people like this waste of coital discharge eventually escalate and do worse if not dealt with. I can only imagine the unhinged people he would be creating if he wasn't put away.

    It might not be the best parenting but at least he's trying... That's a lot more than I can say for some parents I see...

    @Kaiser-Machead: the guy is a piece of shit due his intent......no one is being injured ar even feeling pain off a 9v battery, lol it is still horrible, but "shock collar" is somewhat sensationalist. i do hate that they make them, dogs dont deserve that crap either.


    i was beat as a kid, and very thankful for it in retrospec, although it is not always the best option, but it is an option that needs to be there.

    @jackbling: It's not the physical injury, but rather psychological. I can't imagine what it must feel like for a 3 year old, but I can only imagine that it's frightening and cruel, even if not physically damaging.

    Boy, that guy sure looks like a winner. Anyhoo ... I hope that he stays in prison for a long time, even tho it's a waste of our money, I'd rather him be behind bars than torturing his poor kids.

    Maybe it was warranted, despite the obvious lulz factor.

    @Henry Obialisi: There is nothing that a child, especialy a 3 year old, can do that would warrent this. NOTHING. The only punishiment fit for this crime is to amp up the voltage and shock this guy a few hundred times, and then when he cries, (and he will) shock him a few more times. I hope they take his kids away.

    @Curves: As a mom, I can say that yes, there is something a small child can do that would tempt a parent to do this: That earsplitting screech. I have wished someone would invent an antiscreech collar for decades. (My kids had antiscreech parents, but precious few other kids seem to come with those.)


    That said, though, shocking your kids just for "fun" and laughing at their reaction should earn this guy a long stretch in a place where he dare not drop the soap.

    My Ronco Record Vault! I still remember the combination. Three. It's stuck.



    Bender: The Achilles heel of the Ronco design is it's structural resonance frequency. Allow me. There we go!
