Not Another One!

I don't have a picture of the child slappin' villain of this story, but he probably has the same kind of permanent "I HATE EVERYTHING" look on his face as this grouchy pepaw who whooped a kid at Wal-Mart, so this will work! Now on to the story.

Yet another grown ass adult is in trouble for bringing his hand down on the face of a stranger's child in public. And this dude tops them all, because he allegedly slapped an autistic child. The devil cackles!

76-year-old Frank Teverbaugh, a local hero and high school coach in Richland, WA, is due in court next week to answer to charges of misdemeanor assault after he allegedly swore and hit a 7-year-old autistic boy outside of the library. Apparently, the boy was in the middle of a major tantrum while he was being led out of the library by his caretaker. The boy's mother was right behind them when she says she witnessed Frank approach her son and shout "Shut the fuck up!" before backhanding him in the face.

The boy wasn't the one to eff with, so he hit Frank back. At that point, Frank hit the boy a second time giving him a bloody nose. The boy's mother finally ran up to Frank and told him her son was autistic. Frank replied, "I don't give a rat's ass!" and stormed off. The boy's mother tried to call the police, but was told to go down to the station file a report which she did. Later that day, a police officer visited Frank and he received an assault citation.

Frank claims that the boy hit him hard first and he responded by "only" hitting him in the "fanny." He said he never slapped the boy in the face. Frank went on to say, "I don't know why I did it. He hit me pretty good. I was surprised a boy that small would hit has hard as he could. That is the truth."

Do we need to start sending old grouchy people back to pre-school so that they can learn to keep their hands to themselves? DAMN. It's not hard! If a child hits you, call 911, have them arrested, testify at their trial and laugh as the judge sentences them to life in prison. Do not hit them back!

I mean, I've been slapped by a dozen kids (e-mail me for their addresses to send them thank you gifts) and I always respond by removing myself from the situation. This is exactly why bongs were invented. If a child whoops you, pick up a bong and you'll forget all about it in a quick second. I bet if the good shit was legalized fuckery like this wouldn't happen as often.

I had a definite "omg" moment, considering this story is local for me.

There are some definite inconsistencies in the story made by the mother v. the story to by Frank T.

For instance: If some old dude started screeching profanities and walloping children willy-nilly in the entryway, wouldn't the library call the cops? No, apparently not. They told the mother she'd have to call them herself.

The mother calmly continued to check out her books and shepherd her child herd out to the car where she took Frank T.'s license number and reported his ass.

Doesn't really sound like it was all as dramatic and violent as she says it is, huh?

If I saw some guy pull that shit with my kid, I would rip out his intestines and feed them to him. End of story, end of pepaw.

This story also made the headlines a MONTH AFTER THE FACT. The mom is using it to "raise autism awareness".

Just to be 100% clear, if the guy did open up a can of whoop ass on this kid (regardless of whether or not the kid is autistic), then put him in jail. Hitting someone else's kid is not okay, even if a lot of them deserve it (I'm looking at you, babies at Wal*Mart).

Oh and my niece goes to a private school and they were going to some event in atlanta. The teacher decided to tell my sister my niece could not go cause of the awkward things she does unless my sister went. Now my niece is not a bully nor does she Kick other kids asses or anything, if the teacher can not handle all students, she should sit her ass down and not take field trips!! My niece does things like ask odd questions, etc. She is 15 and goes through enough problems like "why can't i get a boyfriend" without this bitch treating her like she's a criminal. I wanted to call the school but i swore that i wouldn't tell anyone to my mother before she told me the story. I mean, my niece gets out of hand sometimes but she will listen and she won't like run off and like i said, if you can't handle them all, don't take the trip or get someone else from school to go, don't treat my niece that way. It's a private school and it's not like the class is big!!

Rosemary's picture

That makes me sick though, my niece is autistic.

Aren't most high school coaches assholes? That's the stereotype I have. Sorry if you are one but that's what I've always seen on tv lol and I don't believe stereotypes but this one i always did believe for some reason.

If anyone hit either of my kids (both handicapped but generally well-behaved in public although one doesn't have volume control down quite yet :) ), I'd go ballistic. It's bad enough when people stare without being discreet. Go ahead and look but don't fucking stare and if you're going to stare, when you're caught, smile.

Sorry, this hits too close to home.

Tatty's picture

hm that is just wrong. i try my best to control my 3 year old in and out of public and it's not easy. we've learnt the art of distraction - bust out some crackers, her favorite book, whatever it takes. yelling at her just makes it worse. if other people don't realize we are trying (to the point of taking my daughter outside of the premises to cool her engines) and still give us the side eye, i will walk right up to them and question *their* manners. don't stare. my kid is special needs too and she doesn't give a shit if she's being loud..as parents we can only do our best and wait til she outgrows this rough stage...if that redneck touched my kid he'd end up in the hospital for realz. turn him into a special needs adult.

TinyHammer4's picture

It doesn't make a difference if the kid was autistic or not, you don't touch other people's kids. If this fucktard had laid a hand or even so much as said "shut the fuck up" to my kid, you can bet your ass he would have been choking on his fucking teeth in 2 seconds flat.

You guys should click on "The Source" of the story and read some of the comments. This guys grandson is on there trying to plead his case, and some kids who are former students of his relay more horror stories of just how fucked up this dude really is.

misslainey's picture

I am a mother of a special needs child, and trust me, if this ass had laid his hands on my kid, he'd be one dead groucho.

Wren's picture

The thing is you don't know just from looking if a child is special needs or not. You don't know if the child is not feeling well, has missed a nap for some reason, or is just having a bad day. You can't judge someone's parenting skills based on the short amount of time you see them in a store.

There are certainly children whose parents let them do whatever they want, but because you can't know, it's best to keep your comments, and your hands, to yourself.

angel_i's picture

chippychazoo: Well said.

And I keep avoiding this thread but lemme just say: ALL CHILDREN HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. They're not adults. They don't have the full power of self-control or rational thought nor do they know what our societal codes are. They are NOT going to know just becuz you tell them, especially if they're preverbal but EVEN THEN, they need experience and practice.

That means talking about these things in safe environments (yes, even with your toddlers) - like drop-in centres where it's all parents and kids, it means being a good role-model so they can see how it's done and it means that no, you can not relax and just let your hair hang down in public. In public, you have to keep one ear to the ground, AT ALL TIMES, in the name guiding your child - being in public is a lesson for small children, every time. I mean, we're talking about slapping here but there are any number of dangers that a child could face when out and about....And if you don't feel like doing that, find something else for your child to do. Which would also be easier if we didn't place SO much emphasis on money and sex all the time then maybe we could go back to asking a neighbourfriend to look after a little one now and then in a pinch.

OMG I'm doing it again. Ugh. I'll keep it but that's it.

YellowMarigold's picture

I also have some horror stories of complete brats who needed some ass whooping from their enabling, coddling, ignorant parents. Like the kid in the seat behind me on a flight who kept kicking the chair for hours. Or the kid at the playground who slapped my cousin for no reason when I took her to the playground. Actually I hate the parents more, because they let them act like this.

One family that I know has absoultely WILD children. We went to a christening once and these kids were running around the courtyard, throwing handfulls of mud around and swinging off the water fountain. Both parents were just too lazy to do anything, and just kept waiting for the other one to get up. After a while it got so bad that one of the waiters actually told the mother off severley. One of thier kids is so out of control that she is no longer being invited to birthday parties by girls in her grade.

As annoying as I find screaming brats, No one should ever hit a child, especially if it is not there kid. Especially not children with autism. They can't help it. Instead I just go up to the parents and tell them off if the kid keeps being a total brat. Then they act all embarassed and say things like 'Oh, thank you for telling me, I'll sort this out, Billy's never done anything like this before....'

Please.

Oh dear Shorty. I see you are falling for the old 'divide and conquer' trick. America always has to have an enemy, some outside influence to blame. It might be the 'islamics' or the chinese, after all they're not quite like us are they? They look funny and have different ideas about the world. Maybe you should look to your own government if you want some one to blame. The people who sit at the top of the pile in your country, they look just like you, yet they see you as a different species and they don't give a shit about poisoning your children for profit. Who do you think makes the decisions to do trade with China? They are happy for you to be directing your anger at other races whilst they get away with taking you and your country to the cleaners. The children of the western world are becoming more feral, unable to think critically, unable to communicate or articulate adequately but that is how our governments seem to prefer it.

Arguably, “Autistic” children are a phenomenon of the middle 20th- Early 21st Century. We’ve referred to people similar to them as "slow' in the past, but now their distinct MENTAL DISIBILITIES are becoming a sort of 'plague' on the world. Meanwhile, research doctors and such are being hampered by lack of funds. Just try to keep in mind while out in public that despite everything you and I were taught as proper decorum, there are virtual ‘idiots’ walking among us. I DO NOT MEAN THAT in a disparaging way, but let’s feel free to call a spade a spade. In my church we had an Autistic boy who we ALL LOVED, but when he reached puberty, his hormones took over his life and he tried to have sex with choir members WHILE church services were in progress.

Shorty's picture

Autistic people are in a class all by themselves. It's a fairly NEW 'class' of people; one that society, in general, is NOT prepared to deal with. In the past, "It Takes A Village To Raise A Child"~HILLARY CLINTON, from ARKANSAS,, told us all that we ALL need to be participants in raising & nurturing children (verses casting them away). HILLARY CLINTON ENBOLDENED asshats to whip stranger's children in public. Seriously, don't tell us that it "takes a village' and then NOT LET US whip the village children! Democrats can BLAME HILLARY for the outbursts against unruly children. SHE TOLD US IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD!. Go to Africa and see what she means...

I work at a Walmart, and while it would never cross my fucked-up & addled little mind to hit a kid, my own or anyone else's, HONAY, I would gladdly whoop any ADULT hometrick (if I could, AND get away with it) who pissed ME off. And tonight, I had assload of them; and I work at the *nice* Walmart.

But...instead, I just smiled and killed 'em with kindness. Because THIS lil' hometrick NEEDS her job.

@ Christine the Hoff
........................
I have a nephew who is autistic. He doesn't respond when someone, including his adoring parents, calls his name, he doesn't even turn his head. He walks in circles for hours, always in the same direction. In front of my eyes he was walking as usual n circles, bumped his head on the table corner, didn't cry in pain, didn't even flinch, just went back to walking in circles.
I brought my tiny puppy to show him, and he didn't touch the puppy, he didn't even look at the puppy.
He lives in his own world.
It's heartbreaking.

like most posting, you are missing the point.

Hey Christine, yes, I was aware that most of the posts were about special needs or autistic children , I have a cousin who has a autistic child thanks to poisonous vaccines and shit health care in the good ole USA and his child is better behaved than most "normal children".

I was merely sharing my stories with the growing epidemic of kids out of control and the brain dead parents that allow it.

I think also DIET, DIET , and DIET are the 3 biggest mistakes parents make with kids. when your 4 year old has had enough sugar and carbs in him to feed a small army , its best to say that good behaviour is pretty much out the window.

Im kinda shocked @ some of the responses on here from some of the parents on here who are using all kinds of foul tricks to get their kids to tow the line. Clearly a line has to be drawn for the child to understand that the parent is in charge and needs to know how important it is to conduct them selves with proper behaviour in public.

also, hell yes , everyone is angry now , kids and adults, alike, over caffienated & trigger happy, the amount of violence that passes off as "entertainment" in video games aimed @ kids & teens is shocking, while the parents are working 2 or 3 jobs to just keep the groceries on the table aint helping matters any either.

Thank You everyone for your opinions on this subject, a real hotbed topic on dlisted considering the responses.

Hi CTH et al. Not to hijack but I have a question and hope you won't mind me asking...?

Isn't it true that (a majority of) autistic children are hypersensitive to touch? So by their very nature, hitting them would only further exacerbate the sitch?

I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly....

I once approached an Outlet Mall department store entrance where a small child was sitting on the ground by the door, pouting. Out of concern I asked if her mother was inside. She replied, and I quote, "FUCK YOU!" Instead of backhanding her into the handicapped parking space next to me (and there were NO cameras-I could have gotten away with it), I MARCHED to the managers office and demanded that he call the police. NO BITCH talks to me that way! That was before cell phones, so this is a very old story and kids suck, as ALWAYS.
