Is this child abuse?

There is only one China.

Seeing the reasons the father had I can certainly sympathise with him. The girl was not listening or getting what her father was trying to smarten her up over. And so Dad felt the daughter was heading for some serious and dangerous problems, so given the situation the dad faced I'm not too bent out of shape over his actions. However,  I assume it's considered child abuse though, legally speaking.

Maybe the father is an idiot? Why would she want to listen to an idiot?

In Canada, if I understand this right, max age for corporal punishment is 12.

Well that seems ridiculous.

You don't need to be in MENSA to understand that drugs can be harmful.

But don't have to be.

If MENSA was a Swedish word it would mean "having your period". I rest my case.

Based on the info we have, the daughter is a problem kid, out of control, heading downwards. Maybe instead the father loves his daughter and is worried sick over what will happen to her.

I don't think that jives with Marti's worldview of breeders.

Too fat, too old.  Making too ugly a face. </siege>

Precisely.

Something like this might have been acceptable to a younger child - hell I restrain my toddler on a daily basis.  But on a 15 year old?  That just doesn't fly.

If you are using zip ties and stun guns, that's one hell of a toddler. 

It is the only way to make sure he becomes a Jets fan rather than the other more reasonable alternatives.

My quip about the Jets has gone unnoticed and unappreciated.
