Man kicks 3-year-old in the face while the boy was strapped in his stroller

[Cali_Democrat]

An Italian tourist was arrested at Walt Disney World over the weekend for kicking his toddler son in the face while the boy was strapped in his stroller, police said.

Dario Napolitano, 41, was with his wife and two sons at the resort's Epcot theme park on Saturday afternoon when witnesses said the brutish pop kicked his 3-year-old son during a family argument, according to local reports. Witnesses said the boy cried out in pain, and security guards quickly called police.

The boy's mother was yelling "No, no, no!" during the incident, Central Florida News reported.

Cops said Napolitano admitted to hitting the boy because he was misbehaving.

1. He looks like a winger the Italian version

16. There are a lot of them.

2. This is what some in that other thread think you should do

If your kid is chasing around after a goose

7. Show me one post that said anything close to that.

I read the thread earlier, so if one was posted later i would like you to point it out to me. Either that or admit you lied.

15. Let me quote that response in its entirety:

"YES

We should not tolerate these out of control SPOILED, ROTTEN, MISERABLE, ANIMAL TORTURING BRATS.

This old lady did not harm this idiot devil spawn, she corrected him. He had it coming. I hope his father rots in prison for what he's done. It's past time we stopped tolerating parents like him and their wretched get. "

Maybe some words don't mean what you think they mean.

20. well, you haven't been ppr'd...where are you?

21. Exactly where in that post does it advocate using

violence against a child?

Answer: There is no mention of it.

Seriously, you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

[snooper2]

23. Your right, I was making a huge jump from the poster saying "idiot devil spawn" to somebody

who hates kids and probably wouldn't think twice about a smack to the face...

my bad..reading that poster's posts it seemed they don't have a huge fondness for children but I must have been wrong. It's obvious the person knows everything about what happened and we were clueless.

[kiva]

24. I know people who don't like children.

I know a person who would call a child teasing an animal an "idiot devil spawn". But he would never hit a child, nor would anyone else I know who doesn't particularly like kids.

That poster may have called the kid some nasty names but he saved the big guns for the father - so no, I don't see any threats of child abuse.

3. The mother was probably saying no about calling the cops.

What is wrong with people?

[Uncle Joe]

4. If that's why she said no, then she is probably being abused as well

resulting in some form of abused spouse syndrome.

It wouldn't surprise me, any adult low enough to kick a three year old in the face is unstable and dangerous on multiple levels.

5. And he's a doctor too.

I guess he could do the stitches and stuff himself, asshole.

6. WTF

Kicking your 3 year old in the face because he was misbehaving? Whatever happened to a stern word or warning? Unbelievable.

[FedUpWithIt All]

8. Poor kids

I hope there was some protections put in place for the child while "dad" was out on bond.

Don't want to think about him blaming the toddler for his arrest. "/

[Mojorabbit]

14. According to local news last night there was not

He bonded out and they lost track of the family. This was evening news yesterday.

10. That's so outrageous it's surreal

I could see a scene in an outrageous physical comedy with a grown man punching out a three year old misbehaving kid because it's so over-the-top, like that scene in Blazing Saddles where the bad guys ride into town and repeatedly punch an elderly woman in the stomach. But in real life, this could very well be fatal to a child. Unbelievable!

11. Responsible parenting?

Am sure he'll sue for law enforcement overstepping into parental rights.

Sure hope what goes around, comes back to him in equal amounts. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

12. Boy, what a POS. nt

13. Facilities at Disney are like casinos

You don't see any obvious security or CCTV, but they are all over the place, and any cast member can contact security immediately.

17. Odds are that his defense will be...........

that's what we do in Italy. (I'm sure not true). Our courts will have to say "that's not what we do in the U.S.

[malaise]

18. Young Scalia???

[LeftyMom]

19. He was probably trying to tenderize the meat before he started eating.

What the fucking hell is the matter with Florida, anyway?

[kiva]

22. Nothing the matter with Florida in this story.

1. The father was from Italy, not Florida.
2. The Florida police arrested him and charged him with child abuse.
3. The Florida courts allowed him out on bail as they are required to do.

Florida may suck in other ways, but don't see anything here to complain about.
