"A KOREAN who beat his teenage sister-in-law for not doing homework or running fast enough has avoided jail thanks to cultural differences in discipline." He hit her with a "metal vacuum cleaner pipe, a hard plastic pipe and a mop handle" and also made threats to tie her to a boulder and chuck her into Hinze dam. The girl suffered extensive bruising and no doubt a lot of trauma. Due to 'cultural differences' and the unique circumstances of the case, he was give a 9 month suspended sentence.
I really can't condone this kind of behaviour, by the Korean man or by the judge. Disciplining your kids is ok but disciplining your sister-in-law? Hitting her for not running fast enough, is this a joke? With regards to the type of discipline administered there is a blurry line between what is acceptable and what isn't. I'm going to have to say that hitting her with a metal vacuum cleaner pipe (and all the other items) is way over the line. There is nothing distinguishing the man from a thug.
The judge should have given him a proper sentence, this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and shouldn't be accepted in this country
