(Diabolically Villainous Challenge) Like Father, Like Son

“You know you’re an idiot don’t you?,” Edward Sr. said to his seven year old son, as the boy stood motionless, his short khaki pants now wet and warm.
Edward Jr. sniffed back tears. His father smacked him in the back of the head, causing further tears to flow from the small, frightened child.
“The next time you get caught taking something from a store, I will beat you to within an inch of your miserable life, you understand that right stupid?,â€? the angry father exclaimed.
“Yes daddy,” the boy said inaudibly.
“I thought I taught you better than that, you rotten worthless piece of shit for brains. Just like your mother’s side of the family. Useless. Just like you. Now watch your old man at work, and learn a thing or two about not getting caught for next time,” Edward Sr. said as he put frozen meats down his baggy jeans.
Edward Jr. screamed, “Im being kidnapped,” all eyes on the boy, his father ran out the door.
Security chased him and beat him within an inch of his life when he pulled a knife on them.
