Literally speaking, I do not think they can put them down! It's kind of scary when you think about it. I have to wonder if all this is some kind of subliminal brainwashing by some nefarious power.
Ok, so this man has raised the kid for 16 years, and now he is surprised that the kid is disrespectful? Not buying it.
If my kid even thought about defying me in a public place, I’d be sending him to the car to wait until everyone else was done, hopefully hungry. When this happens at the age of 3, it doesn’t ever happen again.
I know this because it happens in every family.
So the dad was 47 when his son was born? It seems to me that part of the problem with this family is that the parents had this child too late in life. The son probably hasn't respected his dad for a while (being so old, and also being weaker physically than his son).
Ok. This will just turn into a "Young people can’t put their phones down" and "young people are so entitled" thread.
With that being said, let him be charged and serve some time.
Punching out your own dad, just because he told you to put your device away at the restaurant dinner table, is a bit far to take "entitlement". I wonder if there's more to this story, and the family dynamic or history.

Sometimes you have to work backwards from the end of the story.
He was released on $40 bond to his mother pretty quickly.
My guess is, the father isn't blameless and the boy didn't intend to inflict such damage.
Or at least it appears mom isn't afraid of him.
No matter what the whole story is, there is NO excuse for the son to do that. I'm sure if the dad did the same to the kid and he "didn't intend to inflict such damage," Social Services would be involved.
Well, the young people I know...can't put their phones down. Although I won't say they're all entitled.
Even when they're driving! I was waiting to turn left yesterday and the car coming toward me was taking their time to drive by so I could turn. When she drove past me, I saw why - she was looking at her phone while driving through an intersection, oblivious to everything else. Idiot.
