- A father filmed himself hanging and hitting his four-year-old son while drunk.
- After hiding for two days, he was finally arrested.
A video went viral on social media platforms wherein a father filmed himself hitting his son, who was hanging upside down.
The father kept on asking the four-year-old if his mom is happy with a certain decision that he made and when the boy failed to answer, the father proceeded on hitting him.
Even as the child began to cry, his father still didn’t stop punching and hitting the kid.
According to an investigation by the Sta. Rosa, Laguna police, the incident happened on December 25, in the middle of Christmas Day.
The boy’s aunt asked the police for help and the child was rescued the day after. He is currently in the care of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
After hiding, the father was finally arrested on Thursday, December 27. Superintendent Eugene Orate stated that the child was scared and admitted that his father hit him.

The father sent the video to his sister, and she immediately called the police.
The child’s mother stated that she has no interest on filing a case against the father as long as she gets her child.
And with that, the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) will be the ones to file a formal complaint.
