Social media users are reacting to a viral video of a man giving his son multiple slaps after the boy, failed to sit for his Maths and English exams, failed other courses but got a distinction in Music despite the father paying $21,000 as tuition fees in the American International School of Lusaka, Zambia.
In the video which was probably recorded in 2018 and recently surfaced, the angry father is seen beating the boy while scolding him.
''I told you this is a scar on your entire life, do you know the reputation this gives you? You can't read? You are a big boy you can't read?' The father said.
A woman was recording the episode while begging the father to stop beating the boy, but the man faced her and said ''How can you say I should stop beating him, you know what this means..''
After answering the said woman, he then slapped the boy again and said ''You can't read, don't talk to me again' That's the result you bring to this house? Look at the result you brought? You idiot!
According to new reports, Police in Zambia summoned the father identified as George Bester, for ''questionning'' on April 20 2020, after the video went viral online.

I am well advanced in age , not married , no kids because I want to be in a better position to take good care of my family including kids . If I just reflect on their effort I am putting in , I don't want this to befall me , because all your efforts will have been in vain .One of my relatives almost the same age ,is going through the same problem , it is tough as a parent , pray for your spouse to be and unborn children . I was a slow starter when I was young , had bad reports at class 1 and my parents had to make an intervention . Sometimes , as parents we have to pray hard ,so that God brings out the best from our kids . Also the electronics and television is too much . Let get our kids to read normal paper books to start with and also please ,please send the kids to Sunday school . It builds their foundation , even when they are old they know the importance of God in their life , and they live a Godly life , where they know they have to be the best in all things .
You need to be in the father's shoe to understand him. That was a very recalcitrant boy who clearly did not take his studies seriously, failing to sit for Maths and English. And the woman in the background seeming to be the "peace maker" is evil! She said those words to provoke the man to beat the boy more so she could record. Wickerd and evul woman! This boy deserves to be beaten on the back but not the head: he already lacks enough sense in his head and if you beat him on the head the little that is there will evaporate!
this is sad but the dad can encourage the child in his development in music. even then i still think you would need English and math. music production and arrangement is not a bad profession.
To spend $21,000 on tuition on your son and then his exam result turn out to be extremely bad is very painful. As a father this is painful. I don't know why the woman recorded the video in the first place.
