THOU DOST KNOWETH THE RULES! ACT NOT LIKE A FROTHY WENCH, AND EXPECTETH NOT TREATMENT AS ONE! FIE!
According to police, the teen was forced to dress in armor and fight her stepfather with a wooden sword for two hours. Police also said the stepfather beat his stepdaughter with a tree branch prior to the duel. Investigators said she collapsed from exhaustion.
Ah, weakening your opponent before the match, eh? The old Gladiator trick. Very clever.
The couple told officers they punished the teen for going to a party without their permission.
Investigators learned the couple is part of a group of Renaissance enthusiasts, who recreate fights from the medieval era.
Officers said the parents told them it was their right to discipline their child however they see fit.
Police said the girl’s mother witnessed the abuse. She is employed at a day care in Yelm. [MSNBC]

On the one hand, she probably deserved it. On the other, having parents who are renaissance faire enthusiasts is already punishment enough.

Brace thyself…….report cards are coming
Based on this, “Day Care in Yelm” is my newest threat about where I’ll send my kids. “Practice ‘Cutie Patootie’ for another hour or it’s Yelm for you.”
Old threat was Vince’s Van.
Fremon Seay what?
If this is the creepiest way he can think of to punish his 16 year-old stepdaughter, I applaud his restraint.
I’d shieldbash the skank too. Go to a party without MY permission? Roll a d20, bitch.
If he was really a renaissance enthusiast he would have fucked her.
Why didn’t she play her alt?
If there’s one thing I learned in my time as Aethelred the Unsteady at the ren faire in Oracle it’s never take the job home. Never ever take the job home.
The stepdaughter’s weapon of choice? The cutlass.
Rip Torn tried this same thing with his daughter, only the swords were tubes of summer sausage and the tree branch was a raccoon.
How is this movie related, dood?
If the red “O” on the father’s get-up doesn’t stand for Ohio State, everything I’ve ever known is wrong
At least he used protection.
You know, people like to say child abuse is never funny
Child abuse is only funny if you’re wearing a clown mask.
She’s just lucky he didn’t call for the King’s Justice.
It is known.
“Fremon Seay could go to prison for something he likes to do: Fight.”
Well…yeah.
He kind of looks like that fella from CSI. Marg Helgenburger.
She lost, therefore she his guilty. Trial by combat is not the way to go, especially when you’re a teenage girl.
“CPS are you not entertained?!?”
Shouldn’t they be congratulating her that despite having parents who are Renaissance Fair enthusiasts she still managed to be invited to a party where she wasn’t doused in animal blood?
