Bit of a long story here - when I got divorced, my daughter and I moved in with my parents - she was six, almost seven years old. I believe in spanking - and one night, when she misbehaved, I spanked her. My mother freaked out, and pulled me aside and told me, "Your dad and I spanked you too much as a child, and we're sorry."
I told her the truth - I deserved every ass-whipping I received, and that there were a couple that I didn't get because they didn't know about what I did. I would have been even more of a hellion if they hadn't done that, and while I'm not going to say that I appreciated them at the time, I'm glad they did it now.
If that father would now use his noggin and send the kid back to his mother for keeps, he would be doing the right thing. Better to pay some alimony that put up with that sort of mental anti-father degredation.
Yes, men are living in a United States determined by the femininazis to lower their manhood and their fatherhood. Gad, what a new low blow the United States is undergoing at this time.
