Foster parents 'hung boys from hooks'
 

See this, what happened in a village in Dalecarlia, Sweden between March 2004 and August 2007: http://www.thelocal.se/19284/20090506/. If you understand, you can read more here: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article5088491.ab, it also says they had to go to school in the winter with only summer shoes (one Scandinavian mile, 10 kilometers), and that the foster parents watched horror films, maybe they were influcenced by it, but it may also be the same stupidity as always after a school massacre in the USA, with the police telling which "violent" computer and video games the one who commited the school massacre used to play.

Not cool. That one guy is right who allowed these kids get adopted by these loons. Hanging from hooks , in the snow with just your underwear, tide up??? Poor kids i really feel for them. Good thing they came out and talked about there problem.

that is pretty messed up...Furthermore, I was reading other stories on that site...you people have some Effed up stuff going on! Silly Swedes!

Radio
 

It's true that the kids said it, but are they telling the truth? I heard about it over the radio: http://www.sr.se/sida/artikel.aspx?p...rtikel=2819041 - "Skräckens hus i Dalarna" ("House of horror in Dalecarlia"), and it's here on television: http://svtplay.se/v/1549066/gavledal...9_15_-_dalarna (02.46-04.22). It say's the court proceedings begun in Falun. The laywer (Per Gisslén, "försvarsadvokat") says he thinks it's unreal.

That's just sick. And there was a sick-o in Oregon recently who thought it was fun to put dog shock collars on his kids (all under the age of 10). All for FUN... like WTF man? Some people aren't just mean to have kids.

I've put a shock collar on myself before. I won't discipline my animals with anything if I don't know what it feels like first.

Martial arts
 

Here's http://www2.unt.se/printartikel/1,31..._ID=62,00.html about a person in the municipality of Sigtuna kommun, Sweden who forced his children to practice martial arts, if not they were beaten, kicked and whipped. He also used to beat his wife.

I also recall a newspaper article in 2004 (can't find it now) about a person who forced his son to be interested in the military.

Wow! That's seriously messed up. Those poor kids! Stuff like this really makes me irked at society.

Washing machine in Germany
 

Does anybody recall a person in Germany in the mid 1990's who threw his infant into the washing machine while watching a soccer game on television, because he thought the infant was screaming too much?

No, but that sounds horrible. I did hear of a case where a man just threw an infant out of a moving car, and the infant was killed.

Usa
 

I recall this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Smith happening in the USA in 1994. Susan Smith let her car roll into a nearby lake, drowning her children who were inside the car.

Yes, I remember that too.

Alright, so Splinter doesn't have a rat-wife, but if he did...

Martial arts
 

But he almost forced the TMNT to practice martial arts.

I don't think he forced them to learn martial arts, at least not in the same way as this case is implying. He didn't beat them up if they refused to learn it. I think he taught them when he felt they were ready to learn.
