Karim Christian will be sentenced this month for severely beating his stepson last year.
According to reports, Christian, who denied guilt last year changed his plea just before the start of his trial last week.
Police charged the defendant with battery early 2019 after he used a piece of wood to beat the then 16-year-old boy.
The February 11 incident was captured on cellphone video, which went viral on social media.
The sentencing is set for January 29.

This man is one sick puppy. He’ll get what’s coming to him in 1735. “Prison justice” can be harsh. I wouldn’t what to be him.
Absolutely disgusting.
This story should be a lesson for both parents and teachers…….
When inflicting punishment, you cant allow your emotions to take the best of you….
Let wisdom dictate while exercising punishment
Well said. Discipline is necessary, but it is how it is executed. This case was one of abuse
Stop beating the children
Why should we stop beating them, we should stop abusing them but not stop beating them, what he did was just too much but a belt can be used.
Would you appreciate if your manager at work beat you? Do you know anyone that enjoys a beating? So why encourage what you do not wish for in your own life.
Beating of any kind should never be an option.
The inability of adults to cope with the youth creates frustration in adults that thinks the only solution is to do what the slave master did to your fore-parents to correct them.
Be what you expect the youth to be and they will learn from your behavior.
I agree with you Mel. And say what? a Manager at work BEAT me? son, that would not go down well for him or me..just saying
“Mel”, I think you are right on this one, although many Antiguans are saying the kid needs a good ass licking, as a starter. Hmmm.
Unfortunately this will always be a touchy subject..where most will agree beating with a belt is correct and some deciding talking and taking away the things they enjoy most for a period of time.. best

(In terms of abuse)I know some instances where some parents allowed rats to chew/attack their children, put their child’s foot in ants nest then still want to call themselves loving parents
And then people say you should still love your parents no matter what (Rolls eyes) go figure
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
You can’t discipline your wayward children with a good spanking bcus the police lock you up.
@ssndra think that is more America or Europe then in the Caribbean unless its considered abuse (like beating a child with a board)
