At EPCOT - this is BAD

[hollygolitely93]

are they really blaming the older son (for the injuries) or did the older child actually hurt him as the younger child was already crying before the father kicked him in the face. This may be what they were telling the police Maybe they aren't blaming the older child, maybe he did "hurt" him, which was why he was crying, then the dad went psycho and slapped the older child twice and then kicked the younger one for crying just a thought?????? possibly??????



According to the police report, several witnesses told police they saw 41-year-old Napolitano arguing with his wife and children.

Moments later, witnesses said they saw him kick his 3-year-old son in the face at the Mexico exhibit in Epcot's World Showcase.

Investigators said the 3-year-old was sitting in his stroller, when his mother was yelling, "No, no, no."

The child was already crying before he was allegedly kicked in the face by his father.

It doesn't matter how it happened...it happened and I hope this makes the news in Italy so his reputation, practice and life is ruined! No action is without consequence...despicable that the husband would blame his other child...

Sadly, some are scared, or think that's normal because they may have been treated that way. You just never know. It's sad. My grandfather, I found out, was a pedophile (of little girls, my aunt, his daughter, that we know of). I never spoke to my grandmother about it and he died when I was 8. I always have to wonder, did she know? if she did, WHY did she ignore it? All I know is my mom and neighborhood friends said they were careful not to leave children alone w/ him. It's just sick!

this case of course, is physical and I'm sure since he took no pains to hide his abuse in public, his wife has seen it plenty. This kind of scum doesn't deserve to live IMO.

In my case, my grandmother knew and chose to do nothing about it. He beat her, my father, and molested at least one aunt (my dad walked in on it). Unfortunately, that seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

I'm not understanding reading the 2nd link about the story WHY authorities were unable to see the child? Seriously, if there was cause to have him arrested, and there were eye witness accounts the man kicked the child in the face, why would the parents have any say if authorities could order the child examined? And the parents claim in the interview it was the older sons fault? Unbelievable

the only thing I can think of is because they are not U.S. citizens???? I also know that when something like this happens, DCF should speak to the family asap, but sometimes they don't. I know I have posted on here before about a child in one of the pre-K classes I had several years ago. He was an abused child. We kept a log on him & reported him. DCF had investigated the family before in another County in Fl, then just prior to our schools complaint yet all they did was tell they parents they needed parenting classes. The child was dead 9 months later. Sometimes they don't do what they are supposed to do period, even with all the evidence right in front of them

I did misunderstand...sorry...emotional topic...though it sure sounds like blaming... He did not admit...said his older threw his younger down on pavement and that is how the injuries happened...

Well, it is also possible that the guy is telling the truth and the witnesses thought that they saw something else. Not saying he is, but anytime there is something that evokes a strong emotional response, people sometimes see what they want to see. For example, he could have picked the little one up and put him back in the stroller, then yelled at the older one for doing it and accidentally kicked the stroller and/or the youngest because he was probably very animated. I'm not saying that's what happened, but that's why we have procedures to determine guilt or innocence rather than just forming up a lynch mob and taking care of it on the spot. A lot will depend on what, specifically, each person actually witnessed.

They always blame anyone and everyone else but themselves for the injuries...

thought you misread it, I hate child abuse. As I stated in my previous post, I had a former student killed.. killed by the hands of his stepfather we reported him to DCF and nothing was done except "parenting classes".... so it is a sore subject for me too

The doctor would have needed a doctor if I had been there. And I would have enjoyed it.

I haven't read all of the details of this incident. Not that it matters, but has it been established that this father is a medical doctor? From what I understand, anyone who obtains the equivalent of a bachelors degree in Italy earns the title of "doctor," even if it's a degree in basket weaving.

And a MD degree is no guarantee of being a good parent.

Bolded was mine.
I don't think anyone said it was for sure. In fact, even having the PHD behind your name doesn't mean you even paid for it. I know of an ex-friend that is defaulting on all her student loans for medical school, but has the kahoonas to use the title anyway. There are all types in all walks of life, that's for sure.

Yup.

Off topic - but are you saying that if you default on your student loans you should lose the degree you earned? Because not being able to repay the loan means you somehow didn't work hard for years to get it? Sorry, I disagree.

I have lots of friends with degrees that hopefully (in this economy) will be able to get jobs that allow them to repay their loans. But if they don't, and end up in default, does that make them unworthy of the degree?

ETA: After re-reading, I don't know if your friend is purposely not paying the loans for some reason, or if she can't pay them because she can't find work. Whichever, I disagree with the general premise that the inability to repay loans should result in forfeiture of a degree.

You're not picking up on the whys of my post. I'd feel differently if it was a result of not being able to keep a job in bad economy. Or if it wasn't your intent...but when it's deliberate... she shouldn't use it as some prestige which is why she does it. She loves to feel more important than others. She no longer practices medicine.

She has and had no intention of paying that money back, so the taxpayers are going to foot her quarter of a million dollar bill because SHE doesn't want to do it. This was in the early 90s when she had only practiced a few years and decided it wasn't for her and she was mad at everyone for it not making her the money she had thought it would. So thusly, she decided not to pay her loans.

I worked hard for my degree as well and I paid my loans .

Yeah, that's why I edited my post to add my last comment. I had a feeling it was a situation like that.

~Wow. How did a thread about a poor baby getting kicked in the face by his father, turn into a rant about some random woman's student loans, lol.

Yeah, funny how that happens.
