It really makes me sad when I read things like this. That father has some real issues. I want to be angry with the mother too for trying to cover up for this clown, but she is probably a battered wife and afraid of what he will do to her & the kids when he makes bail.

I can honestly say that we have never had any unpleasant 'episodes' when visiting a Disney park. It must be Disney magic or something, but we always seem to be in great moods and get along even better than usual. I shudder to think about this guy's behavior when he's not in the Happiest Place on Earth.....

That's just horrible! What must be going through a person's head to rationalize that kicking a 3 yr old in the face is the right thing to do.

That is just a sad excuse for a parent. Who cares if he is a doctor, if he can't take care of his own kids well being.

What an appalling story!

That poor little boy... and the other child who is having the blame pushed onto him.
I'm hearing so many stories like this and they all just disgust me.
Pixies to those two children.

That's just horrible! I don't care what he does, he should not be a parent. I'm so glad witnesses called the police, and that the parents were not allowed to see the boy at the hospital.

The fact that they tried to blame it on another one of their children makes me angry! What kind of mother would allow her husband to kick their child?? That makes me sick to my stomach....

Actually the report says the parents wouldn't allow the boy to be taken to the hospital. So that kid never got checked out. That story makes me angry. And not just with the donkey's backside that kicked that child or the mother.
