During this week’s trial, the son again testified how Lloyd, a former five-time Pro Bowler for the Pittsburgh Steelers, put his hand around the youth’s throat in a walk-in closet of the family’s home in the Whitewater Creek subdivision after spanking him for getting bad grades on a report card in 2001.
Lloyd then told his son to open his mouth and proceeded to put the barrel of the handgun in his mouth.
“He was like, ‘You’re wasting your life away and if you want to ruin it, I can end it for you right now,’” the victim said. The incident occurred when he was in the sixth grade, but the victim said he never told his mother about it because he was afraid of what his father might do.

a local radio jock was trying to make the case that this was a acceptable parenting action because he never actually hurt the kid. WTF.
