When I opened the link there was only a mugshot of the father and no text. How old was the son? Half an hour of pushups sounds like sadism to me. Normally the demand should be for a set number of pushups, but even for an adult 30 minutes is too much.

I misread the OP. IT was YOUR coaches who were making you do more than 30 minutes pushups, Ladi. Still, it's sadism, in my humble opinion.

MOUNT VERNON, Ky. — A Kentucky father was arrested after police say he made his kids do strenuous workouts as punishment for breaking house rules, WKYT reports.
James Pal Kidwell, 40, of Mount Vernon, is charged with first-degree child abuse.
Kidwell is accused of forcing his children, 11 and 13, to do push-ups for half an hour straight.
Kidwell is also accused of making the two kids eat soap. One of the kids had a sore in his mouth from the soap.
According to police, one of the children had a bruise on his chest from a punch.
Police said Kidwell would also make the kids lean forward, with their foreheads against a wall, for up to 30 minutes.
Kidwell was arrested Monday and is being held under a $10,000 bond. He was still in jail as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the Rockcastle County Detention Center website.
