Take it. Drink up. Youβre going to learn," WATE.com reported.The station reported police were called to the teen's home by witnesses who said Hughes forced his son to play a drinking game. Officers said when they arrived, the boy had no pulse and they performed CPR until an ambulance arrived.The teen's grandmother told WATE.com that the boy was placed on a ventilator. She told the station he has been released from the hospital and is doing well.Sweetwater Police Chief Eddie Byrum says the case will be prosecuted to the fullest.
Reminds me of the time when some parents forced their daughter to drink water as a punishment until she had so much in her that her brain swelled and she died.
