That is classic that will teach him from trying to be a fake thug.

Good job for by the uncle. Awesome vid. Love how the uncle has his shirt off and his pants sagging though.

Yeah. I'd take it more serious if he'd pull his damn pants up.

This video supports my original thesis that Olde English and Facebook don't mix.

he took his belt off to whoop the kids ass so of course his pants are going to sag a bit

Of course his pants are sagging. He's using his belt to whoop some ass.

Can we sign up a few OC's to get in line for their whoopin'??

Touche

My favorite part

"I don't care if you say Happy Birthday Dawg, I am going to come whoop your ass"

he got a few good cracks in

This is awesome.

Lookin' like a fool with you're pants on the ground.



For something like this ("gang" violence and such), I don't see a whole lot of success in the parenting that basically says, "Stay out of gangs or I'll beat your ass!" It seems to get tried a lot, but if it's successful, then I am sure not seeing any of it.

Sounds to me and seems to me, like it's someones Uncle who gives a damn about his nephew. Who wants to see someone they love go out, get into the wrong scene, get high, do something stupid, and end up in jail for life or DEAD? Im pretty sure that is the point he was trying to get across.

Out of curiosity, how much experience do you have dealing with families in these situations?
It's been my experience that it does work, especially when you consider what most of these families have to work with. The problem isn't the parent that does this, it's the parent that does nothing! I'd be willing to bet that most of the thugs & gang members have parents that are either dead, in prison, no where to be found because they left before or soon after the child was born, or are trying to be a thug with their child.
When these kids think in terms of people being "soft" or "hard", how would you suggest these situations be handled?

A few years (2-3) with about 15-30 kids at any given time. Most of my time is spent with the kids, but there is regular parental interaction as well. The kids who get whooped for "acting like they want to be in a gang" seem to be the ones whose names I end up hearing most often on the local police scanner.

Oh I would CERTAINLY agree that this does deter SOME of the kids ... which is more than doing nothing. I don't know what you've seen, but this kind of parental behavior seems to be polarizing. The kids seem to fall decisively one way or the other.

I agree. These same ones often have mothers or other father figures (grandfathers are mostly what I see) who think they can "beat" the thug out of the child. Doesn't work that way.

I think that mentality is what needs to be worked on, and not simply accepted as a foregone conclusion.

It needs to be noted that I am no child psychologist or anything. Just a volunteer.

Just got word of a prime example. Mom regularly "whoops" the kids for even hanging out with the wrong crowd. 16-year-old daughter just found out she's pregnant.
