I am so ticklish that this would be torture for me.
A father in the US state of Arkansas has been convicted of felony battery and sentenced to six years in prison for disciplining his young son by biting his toes.
Todd Wayne Hall, 36, was also ordered on Tuesday to pay a $US10,000 ($12,600) fine, the Benton County Daily Record reported.
The son, now nine, was six-years-old at the time. Prosecutors showed jurors photographs of his injured toes, which had bruises and cracks in the toenails. Hall also admitted in a court proceeding that he bit the boy's toes.
Hall was cited previously for biting his daughter.
Testimony revealed Hall and his wife, Virginia, would punish the children for blinking their eyes or moving while they were supposed to be napping.
The children are in the custody of grandparents.
Talk about cutting your penis to spite your parents.
An Egyptian cut off his own penis on Sunday in protest at his parents' choice of bride, a police official said.
The 25-year-old labourer from the village of Sheikh Eissa in southern Egypt was taken to hospital in stable condition, the official said, adding that the man had also mutilated his testicles.
"He was in love with a woman but his parents rejected her and told him to marry another woman he didn't want. He took a knife and cut off his penis in his room."
Doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added.
