Got this from over at Deadspin, and I’m just gonna let you read, because I’m kinda at a loss of words. Let’s just say that Darrion Scott, former player on the Minnesota Vikings, has an interesting way of teaching his children.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court: The boy’s mother heard the child’s muffled cries and found Scott, who is 6-3 and 290 pounds, holding the bag over the boy’s head on April 26. She said the boy was on his back on the floor, his legs kicking and that Scott was holding the bag tightly around the boy’s neck.

She told police she had evidence of previous injuries while the child was in Scott’s care. A doctor who examined the boy said there is a reasonable degree of medical certainty that marks on the boy’s arm and ear were intentionally inflicted and were consistent with either burning or being struck.

It’s not a bad method. Hard to blame the guy. Unfortunately the police came into play, because next on his list of things to do was take the kid skydiving with no parachute. If he can’t learn to take his shirt off, hope it catches enough wind to break his speed and land gracefully to the ground, then he deserves the hard fall. Serves him right.
