A teenager has been jailed for 10 weeks - yes 10 weeks -after a 'sickening' video of him kicking a 78 year old pensioner into a river went viral online . What's even more sickening is that the teenager has only been jailed for 10 weeks. He was filmed kicking the 74-year-old into the River Mersey in Warrington before running away, leaving his victim struggling in the water until two teenage girls pulled him out of the river.Unbelievable short jail sentence!!! The poor man is now afraid to go out and enjoy his hobby.

I don't really expect anyone to answer this on here, but were those of you who advocate corporal punishment hit as children?

If the answer is yes (and excuses about how it was 'just' smacking, or that it was discipline don't count), then can't you see that this is proof of how damaging it is? That you are perpetuating the idea that violence is the way to deal with violence?
