brown townogy
Your brown townogy sucked because it centered on the idea that pushing a kid down a 5 foot skate ramp can kill them. I give it 3/10.
The father did something that he thought would hurt the kid, the outcome shouldnt change the case as long as it was intentional
I'm pretty sure that the father was just trying to get his cautious kid to 'man up' and skate down the ramp. It's just a slightly more reckless version of pushing a kid off a diving board into a pool. No one's going to die.
Think, 'pushing a kid down skate ramp' versus 'breaking a kid's knees with a tire iron'.
One is questionable parenting, one is abuse. Only the latter should be investigated by the police.
