There are multiple angles where this article can go. Let me start by saying no one at MiddleEasy.com advocates any form of child abuse, but maybe if father's challenged their sons to boxing matches after they betrayed them by having cyber sex on Facebook then our society would be in a much better place. Maybe Houston Alexander wanted to stop his son from making the same mistakes he did in life. Maybe, just maybe, we need tough love back in style, and Houston Alexander can be the face of this parenting revolution.

Then again no one knows how skilled a boxer Houston Alexander's 16 year old son was, so if anything this should have been a 2 round mixed rules match. The first round would consist of the combatants displaying their cyber sex skills on Facebook and the 2nd round would be composed entirely of boxing in a basement. Lets see this at Genki Desu Ka 2012. Please make it happen Japanese people who are putting on Desu Ka 2011.

Here is the report from the always on the ball Kathy Niver from KMTV News Omaha:

Police ticketed popular MMA fighter Houston Alexander for child abuse after the 39-year-old became upset with his 16-year-old and made him box with him.

Police reports say officers were called to a home near 44th and Maple for a domestic disturbance. The older Alexander told them he was having trouble with his teen son, who was "having explicit sexual contact on Facebook with some unknown females." The 16-year-old reportedly lied and "made him very upset."

According to police reports, "Alexander then retrieved boxing gloves and told his son, 'If you are going to lie to me, then we are going to box.'" The two reportedly boxed in the basement. Officers describe the teen as having a "slight bloody nose and pain to his right side."

Alexander was cited for misdemeanor child abuse.

Is it still called 'cybering' or did I just totally date myself, AIM 1.0 style?

To be fair the kid had just a good of a chance of knocking out his old man as he did getting knocked out. I see no problem here.

He didn't grow out of cyber before he was 16? No wonder Houston was beating on him.

This comments are killing me. This is the funniest article. I like how no one comes out defending cyber sex. I wish there had been cyber sex when I was 16. Safer than real sex!

He didn't box him over the cybersex. He did it because he lied to him about it. Andif it was child abuse, he would have hit him without boxing gloves on. I'm sure he didn't go all out either. A tap in the face and one to the ribs just to show the kid whose boss and teach him a lesson. I see nothing wrong with what Houston did. I don't know how the cops found out about this but if his stupid son wants his dad to go to jail, who the hell does he think will look after all of his brothers and sisters (I think Alexander looks after his 6 kids)? Whose gonna pay the mortgage, the bills, and put food on the table? Would he be happy if the whole family is thrown out on the streets just so he can get revenge on his Dad? Think kid!

The article doesn't mention that the kid survived the initial 2 minute flurry and actually won on points after 3 rounds.
