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.

The police has no problem the problem is with the one who took the video and post it on social media that’s lack of respect at home. Does it mean everyone has become a journalist by professional?
If this was my wife, Allah kuya bebele
The same police badly beat up suspects.for small crimes, So why get concerned with a father disciplining a child with a slap? I was even laughing that George doesn’t know how to slap, now he has been summoned for the ka weak slap kkkkkkkkk people have nothing to do
Way to go. The chap is playing in school while parents are stressing trying to build is future. Nachibaka would have worked on top.
Its wrong to hit or slap someone on the head or face. Secondly, i still cant understand what was going on in the head of that woman.
The police want to discipline someone for disciplining his child
This is so sad to even bring in public for the people to comment. Life is so unfair cause that child is not going to be helped even by his parents. They are already divided. The man is showing his frustrations on his child because the wife is not helping the child.
Just a quick question, is it ok if this man first slapped his wife for this child performance at school?
From my knowledge, a good wife will give reports to the husband on how the children are doing.
A wise son makes his father proud but a foolish one brings grief to his mother.
Now are the police going to help in paying for the school if this man shifts his attention?
If the man was beating the child for no reason, I will not support that.
Shouldn’t a man discipline his children? If you as me the boy deserved even worse. Leave him a lone!
Zambia is Christian nation. Therefore God allows discipline. So gov’t shut up and work on corona issues.
So what’s your interest actually its noon of your business .
