I believe this guy needs serious counseling to set his mind straight. This is looked on as normal in our messed up society. On February 15th 2009 My son was choked, headlocked and forearm thrust in his neck by his father. All because of a comment said by his son. Now he has supervised visits with his father. His father will soon have regular visitation putting my children at risk of injury or death. The courts need to take this more seriously because I am not raising another abuser!!

There may be more to this story than what is being reported. The man needs help (yes), but what was going on at 330 in the morning? Was the 17 year old out past his curfew? How many parents have stayed up all night waiting and worrying about their teen? Teen agers get really lippy sometimes too. So this is rather a one sided story! It shouldn't have gone this far, but we don't know the whole story here, so don't so fast to past judgement.

How sad this is. I am sure this is the the first time these boys have been abused by their father, and it won't be the last time. They should tag-team and give him what he deserves. His wife should take her children and leave. Don't let a man continue to abuse your children!

Nothing but a piece of trash, another white trash POS that shouted about morals and values and the demise of the family. Better fix your own life before you call on others. I hope his wife leaves him and takes him for everything he's got.--one day your sons will be big enough to kick your butt--I am waiting--

Mr. Blair needs help. Once an abuser, always an abuser; unless willing to rehabilitate. His next chance should come only with his ability to show a willingness to change. That is if the victims are willing to take that chance. It's easy to forgive; harder to forget. Hopefully this WILL be a lesson learned for all involved.

Perhaps this will be a learning lesson. I think it will. Lets give him another chance.

I'm betting this is not the first time he has been abusive toward one or more members of his family. Probably just the first time it got this far out of hand and one of them finally had enough. He sounds like a "macho" idiot who just wanted to show his physical strength to his boys.

so glad we booted him off the BOCC. Ciao, baby.
