Strange News: Dad Forces Sons to Drink To Punish Them for Drinking

A man from Surprise, Arizona was less than thrilled when he found out his visiting sons, ages 12 and 13, sneaked some of his booze, so he orchestrated an ironic -- and illegal -- punishment. AZFamily.com reports 32-year-old Kristopher Harvey allegedly forced his boys to do shots of hard liquor then threw them into a swimming pool on Monday.

Neighbors heard the sounds of a domestic situation and called the police, who arrived to find the boys seriously intoxicated. Harvey was arrested. His sons were taken to a hospital, and then into the custody of Child Protective Services. They had been visiting from Texas, where they live with their grandmother.
