I would never tatto a child or allow them to be. My daughter wanted tattooes and I told her when she's 18 she can do that. She waited a few years and was glad I made her wait. She changed her mind by the time she turned 18.

It's simple.... the man's children consented towards being branded so therefore, there should be no charges. With spanking, there never was a consent towards it. Hopefully that answers your question.

That's quite bizarre. I feel bad for those poor kids..it would be pretty sad to grow up knowing you were thought of as property. I couldn't really tell from the article whether they wanted it or not, so I'll go with not.

You could say the exact same thing for ANY discipline...

Parents asking their children's permission to discipline them. Now that's about as moronic as it gets. If children were wise enough to make their own decisions they wouldn't need parents. Looks like some parents still need their parents these days.

Wow, this is just wrong. You do know, that you can't consent to much before the age of 18, right? In most states you can't even get a tattoo under the age of 18 WITH your parent's consent.

This just goes to show you. People need to mind their own business. I think few (VERY FEW) agree with branding your children, yet someone has decided to do it, and although we may not agree its none of our business. This time the court (finally) backed the parent's right.

A poster asked a question and I gave the answer.
I know nothing about parenting and don't want to get involve in this subject no more as it tends to lead to flaming. However, IMO the man and his children should be left alone. If someone is satisfied with his/her lifestyle then like SKP440 stated, it should be no one's business.
