Father Arrested For Beating Child Over Bad Grades


Police have arrested a father for allegedly abusing his son over bad grades. Loscar Rodriguez, 30, argues he was simply disciplining his son, and the judge who let him go on $5,000 bond seemed to agree. "Spanking never hurt anybody," said Judge Fred Seraphin at Rodriguez's hearing. Police charged Rodriguez with aggravated child abuse for beating his 8-year-old son with a belt because his son received bad grades in school. On Monday Rodriguez's son told a school nurse that his bottom hurt too much to sit down at his desk. A school official saw a bruise on the boy's leg and called authorities. Coral Gables police examined the child and found more marks on his buttocks. Though the Seraphin seems to think there's nothing wrong with spanking a child for disciplinary reasons, he did rule that Rodriguez could not have any contact with his son until further notice. The by's mother will likely come down from Chicago to pick him up, pending the trial.
