Father kills son for refusing to go to school
2006-10-10
VEHARI: A man killed his son in Mustafabad on Monday when he refused to go to school, said police. Mumtaz Mai, the child's mother, told police that her son Asim (8) was not willing to go to school. She said she asked her husband Zahoor Ahmad to try to persuade Asim to go to school, but the child refused again, at which his father allegedly hit him against the charpoy. The child was injured and had to be rushed to hospital, but he died on the way. Police registered a case.
Normally, we just spank the little brats and hustle them to the bus stop. In severe cases, Pop's belt might come off, and in routine cases a pinched ear might do it. Knives, firearms, bludgeons, and shoving them into the charpoy aren't recommended until they're in senior high.

#2  Figured out what a charpoy was.

#1  What type of school was this? Was it a madrassah? If so, the kid was rational. Let's also recall that some of the headmasters at those schools are sexual predators. We discussed one case here where a headmaster threw acid at a teenaged boy who refused his advances. Of course, the headmaster's goons threatened the family.
