Family Gaming Ends With Father Beating Son
Terry Taulbee, a 50-year-old Cincinnati resident, stands convicted of assaulting his 6-year-old son following a confrontation over videogames, reports GamePolitics.
Reports vary a bit from there however. Some sources have Taulbee turning on his son after losing to the boy in a game, while others have Taulbee assaulting his son after witnessing the 6-year-old failing to perform well enough in the unnamed title.
As for the assault itself, “Taulbee is accused of hitting the boy on his lower back and buttocks,
leaving a large red hand mark,” the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Correction: Previously, this post contained a misspelling of the word “Cincinnati.” It has since been amended. We apologize for any confusion.
