Father on trial for branding children like cattle

A US man accused of branding his three children like cattle is on trial on assault charges in Washington state.

KIRO-TV reports that Mark Seamands branded his 13- and 15-year-old sons and 18-year-old daughter with the letters "SK" - for Seamands's Kids.

He has been charged with assaulting his sons but not his daughter because she was old enough to give consent.

Mr Seamands's former wife said she was horrified when she saw the scars on the younger boy's chest, the older boy's arm and the back of the daughter's leg.

KIRO said the boys were expected to testify in defence of their father because they were proud of their brands.

Mr Seamands is expected to take the stand and show his own brand.

What's the point of having kids if you can't mark them as your property?

Well, you will get old and then the kids will have their way branding you.

So she actually agreed to be branded?

Yeah, looks like they rubbed cherry chapstik on his arm and then made letters out of bacon bits. So gross.

Too many health concerns with that. i.e. Hepatitis/HIV. Think dude, think.

Yesterday it was all "Ohhhhhhh a teacher beat up a kid"
Now its all "Ohhhhhhhh a father branded his children"

I mean, seriously.. there are practical reasons here... Like, what if one of the kids got lost?

In all seriousness though, the kids are proud of the brand?

This is just wrong. Kids should be able to decide for themselves which team they support.
