Here's your kinda guy. Jump in and defend him.
Sorry, can't defend this. This is not little spanking. It's a clear case of battery (see above).
However, what would self-hating whites call the boy's father? White Trash perhaps? Possibly African-American White Trash?
And I can't wait to hear more about Gypsies.
Lock him up and throw away the key. I just feel bad for the mother, who may lose all of her natural children to the state for what is most likely the "crime" of being terrified of this psycho. Once he is out of the house, I'm sure the 4 kids would be perfectly safe with their mother.
