At 6' 4" 260lbs you'd think I was a tough guy, but I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. As the daddy of four and eight year old girls, I know how tough it is raising kids. Recently life has been real hard, two shoulder surgeries since March 2007, this past April I had a guy jump in front of my work truck, no one tells me, so I have to assume it didn't end well. Tough economic times, like everyone else, but how the hell can anyone treat a child like that? We "lost" Maggy last year at Sesame Place last year for about ten mins, (she told mom she was going to "Ernies bounce bed") that was the most scary time of my life. I don't care how much crying, whining, wetting the bed, back talking, or what ever,, there is NO excuse to abuse a child like that.
