THE Zambia Police Service has summoned George Bester, a man seen in a video making rounds on social media slapping his son, for allegedly producing poor school results.

In the said video, Bester is seen slapping the boy, while complaining about the money he has spent on the boy for school books and tuition fees.

A voice of a woman, believed to be his wife, is heard pleading with Bester to stop beating the boy.

According to a call-out dated April 10, 2020, Bester was required to report to the Child Protection Unit offices at the Ministry of Community Development near Levy Junction yesterday, April 21, for purposes of inquiries.

Police, however, assured him that he would not be detained more than was necessary.

Normal thing in Nigeria

How dis take become mata of interest...d boy fail and d father did d needful..i remember wen i carry 19th,but promoted.my father dealt with me like i stole from him..after dat event,i come dey carry 1st 1st 1st..i know some people will not like dis.

Why record such.
I guess his wife did

Spear the rod and spoil the child





Where lalasticlala self

The boy definately had a poor foundation in his academics but there's still room for improvement. Beating the kid won't open his brain but it's sad to see all the money spent on him go to waste.

They better leave that man alone and scold the son seriously.

How can I spend $21K for your school fees and you deliberately miss the exams?

If the boy had any single respect for the parents he would have at least told them before missing those exams. Their reactions to the result is a clear proof they were never aware.

They should let that man be. He didn't pick such huge amount of money from the streets.

Imagine how hard I'm hustling now to pay for my boys school fees.... I may do worse than that man.

For those ladies criticizing the man, imagine you spent your own money (N5000) to buy foodstuffs for food. You spent hours cutting, grinding and putting everything together to make a good soup for your man.

At the end of the day, he abandons everything to go play WHOT with his friends.

I mean all the while he watched you go through all that stress, he never mentioned he's not hungry. He watched you spend your hard-earned money and did everything to please him. Yet he never even "touched" the plate cover to see what is inside.

How many of you can stand that?

Before you bash the man again, take a look at what I can do for you in the pic below.

The son needs to be disciplined.

How dare you not go for your Maths and English exams??

Secondary education is the minimum level of education crucial for survival in this modern world.

Honestly if this happened during the son's tertiary education, I won't give a F*ck.
But not during secondary school na.

Then the mother that recorded this is definitely up to something. Maybe she is his grandmother, only grandmas are know to be indulgent like this.

Who recorded them sef?
Attention seeking father & son

the man married a lousy wife, my mum have never told my dad to stop beating us when we are young even though sometimes I could her telling him in their room that the beating was much, it takes both parents to instil discipline in a child but the man seems to be doing the parenting alone... It is heart breaking to spend your hard earned money on ode.. There is nothing more painful than that... The man was even moderate, the boy is very lucky, try that with my dad, he will use belt, cane and anything else his hand can reach to deal with you... And Zambia police is forming America as if they can give the man his money, damn.... God please make my kids intelligent lemme no go spend money on ode.. If u are against the man may u have such a child, he got A in music oh damn it, he should be enrolled in music school, may be he might become wiskid of Zambia

Ghen Ghen!!

I trust NPF, they will help the man continue the beating but reverse is the case outside 9ja

These Zambian police is busy bodies

I do not see anything wrong in what the father has done. All those police people would have beaten their kids one time or the other

To lose 8.2 million na bean. What is my annual salary a year. One of the painful thing was he missed the writing maths and English. Even of you want to do music at least have the basic minimum in other subject

He so called son just wasted an opportunity that he would live to regret forever

The only problem is why would the wife post this video on the internet

Not every thing is meant to be shared

For naija na ur father go even summon the police join..nonsense

How you want to discipline your child after bad grades isn't something you should post on social media.

okay

D father shud just enrol dat niga into any music sch....no b by sch fees...Pikin wey wan knw book go knw book

The woman who filmed this is evil. Must be a step mum.

Now that is a country that works people have rights

You don't have the right to hit anyone

People have to learn

You can't go about slapping a young man because you re his father

That is child abuse

Absent

Dude was absent for Maths and English.... and the rest result was that poor, yet all he got was slaps.

I think the daddy should be summoned for under beating the boy...Haibo!!

We wey Dem beat comot last enter first for class nko?

Abeg don't spoil that boy

Social media and its downside.... why people record things and put it on social media is puzzling. The quest to gain cheap likes and comments is driving people crazy in this generation.
BTW anybody that faults the man for milding scolding the son probably hasn't worked hard to earn money, the man is mentally tortured to see his son waste his money in the most foolish manner...

Ghen ghen. The police is doing eye service, no well trained African dad will take that nonsense from his son. He cant watch his heir apparent go to waste na... if na for naija sef, the police chief will provide koboko for the man to flog him properly in the station. As for the mother supporting the boy, some crazy naija men will get good cane and flog the mum and son... nonsense and covik

Ok

very poor result, the boy na olodo


waste of resources


bubu goons

Ordinary slap. The boy is even lucky it's not a Nigerian dad, $21k and still failed! Hmmmmm

The more we try to copy the White Man, the more we lose our tradition!!! A Man is NEVER too old to be cautioned by His Parents!!! I see nothing wrong in that video. We ARE AFRICANS!!!

Y wont the father slap the son.. When u spend such huge amount on school fees u expect better results..

Ahn ahn! On top my own money and my own son? Is Zambia truly an African country?
