Man Attacks His 70 Year Old Father While Visiting to “Reconnect,” Breaks the Dad’s Ribs and Some Teeth
I believe this took place in the UK (it’s from a British paper).
Does the Nuclear Family, or being in one, make a person more godly, ethical, mature, or responsible? Nope.
Does being a Father protect this man from getting his ribs broken – nope, they were broken by his own son.
I am fine with parenthood and the Nuclear Family, but not with the nauseating non-stop push by other conservatives to keep making more out of it than warranted. The Nuclear Family, marriage, parenthood will not “save” a nation, nor does the Bible teach that they will, any verses about children being a blessing included.
Children being a blessing doesn’t convey that natalism will “fix” immorality in a rotting culture, or that every single child will turn out to be a loving, responsible citizen.
The Bible makes no such promises.
Not all children ‘trained up’ (Proverbs 22:6) will turn out okay, as that one Bible verse states. Such bits of wisdom in the Old Testament are not meant to be applicable to each and every person and situation; we’ve all seen exceptions.
A lot of parents “train up” their children in the wrong way, by abusing or neglecting them, and in some such cases, those children, due to the mistreatment, later develop abusive natures or personality disorders or styles (such as BPD or pathological narcissism) that results in them abusing other adults in their lives.

A man attacked his dad, 70, with a casserole dish whilst visiting him to ‘reconnect’.
Peter Taylor, 43, from Leicester, was drunk on whisky as the two men had discussed money.
His father had previously lent him £100 and, after discussing the cash, then asked his son to leave.
But Taylor, a playground supervisor, then flung a small dining table across the flat and launched an attack on the pensioner sat in his chair.
Leicester Crown Court heard how his dad was knocked to the floor.
Taylor then continued to punch the older man and picked up a casserole dish to use as a weapon.
Neil Bannister, prosecuting, said: ‘His father said “Keep the £100 but leave, just go.” That seemed to trigger something in the defendant and he began to throw items around the flat, including a small dining table.
‘His father couldn’t get out his chair to defend himself. He was punched to the face and fell to the floor.
‘The defendant used a casserole pot to hit him. The victim also described being grabbed by the throat.’
Taylor’s father suffered bruises all over his body, including two black eyes, and the missing teeth and broken ribs.
James Varley, defending, said the accused and his dad had never had a good relationship. …
The 43-year-old’s mum had died a year before, and Taylor had been trying to connect with his last remaining parent who he had not seen in five years.
Mr Varley said: ‘Drink has the habit of magnifying grievances.’

Being in a Nuclear Family didn’t protect that man or make the son happy or well-adjusted.
