A middle-aged man was arrested in the Marjayoun district village of Taibeh in south Lebanon after a video of him violently beating his 4-year-old son flooded social media outlets, the National News Agency said Sunday. “Stop hitting me ... enough,” screamed the boy as his father hit him repeatedly. Evidently in pain, the boy screams repeatedly and tries to escape from his father’s grip while his hands and legs were tied. The relentless father followed him and continued to hit him across his body. The man was only later identified by his initials, A.Aa. A force from the south’s Investigative Station at the Internal Security Forces arrested the father and handed him over to the Adaisseh police station.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2016/Mar-21/343228-abusive...
