Police say an East Tennessee father forced his son to drink alcohol until he passed out as a punishment after he caught the 15-year-old drinking.
WBIR-TV reports Sweetwater police have charged 35-year-old Mark Allen Hughes with aggravated child abuse and neglect and with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The station reports police were called to the teen's home Saturday night by witnesses who said Hughes forced his son to play a drinking game. Officers said when they arrived, the boy had no pulse and they performed CPR until an ambulance arrived.
The teen's grandmother told the station he has been released from the hospital and is doing well.
Sweetwater Police Chief Eddie Byrum says the case will be prosecuted to the fullest.

The father should have stopped his son from drinking when the boy started getting green around the gills - then make him eat broccoli or something until he threw up! His son could have died from alcohol poisoning so this wasn't a real bright idea but I don't think the intentions were evil.
Better to get a teen sick from drinking and hope he won't do it anymore than have him do it with friends later in a car. I wish the Powers that Be that have so much to say about so much would be as loud about alcohol abuse which can lead to serious, negative lifelong consequences - especially if someone dies. But guess eating healthy is important too.

When a kid this young drinks, especially when he gets drunk it makes him very likely to become an aloholic later in life. Something to do with the brain not being fully developed.
His ignorant father should have thought up another punishment.
