PHPenned by Associate Justice Jhosep Lopez, the decision by the SC Second Division upheld the conviction of a father for giving violent and excessive discipline to his 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son. According to the court, the father beat his children from 2017 to 2018. He pulled his daughter’s hair, struck her with a wooden rod with a nail, hit both children with a dustpan, and cursed at them. The SC said the father got angry at his daughter on September 22, 2017 because she had not eaten her lunch, while he hit them on February 21, 2018 since the money they saved in their coin banks was lacking. In defense, the father said his actions were meant to discipline his children.
