valid punishment for dogs but not children?

I know he did other fucked up things too and deserves this but just on the shock collar point.

XENIA, Ohio – An Ohio man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for disciplining his children with a dog shock collar.

David Liskany of Jamestown had pleaded guilty to charges of felonious assault and attempted felonious assault.

In court Friday, Greene County Common Pleas Judge J. Timothy Campbell compared the punishments to torture.

The judge said Liskany punished the children in 2006 and 2007 by putting them in cold showers, holding them underwater and using the shock collar, which is commonly used to train dogs.

The judge said the case sounded "like something from Guantanamo Bay."

The children are now 5, 12 and 14.

Shock collars are used to train dogs to stay within their boundaries, and the hair on their neck acts as a small buffer. Who the hell would use that on their own child?!?!?

If it would keep kids from wearing their pants low, I think its a good idea. Drop the pants down, zap! Have a neutralizer switch in bathrooms.

What a freak. Someone should wrap one of those around his neck and chuck him in a cold shower.

LN hit the nail on the head, "valid punishment for dogs", one must wonder how many people were horrified by this story, yet use these collars on their pets.

Indeed. If you can't control your dog without one...perhaps you should consider a slug for a pet.

No, but you're the second person to mention this movie to me. Being from Ohio and not far from Xenia, I guess I ought to check it out.
