This controversial video has gone viral. It shows a father forcing his little boy to run alongside his car for “football training” as the father uses various expletives with the child.

“You’re in football training. This is how we train for football,” he says in the video. “Daddy drives and you run. Get your little a** in shape. C’mon, faster Yates!”

He then curses at his son to pick it up because he feels he is running too slow.

“We’re going 8 miles an hour. Pick that sh*t up. C’mon faster!” the dad yelled at his son.

The little boy says he is going as fast as he can but the dad snaps at him.

“I don’t want to hear your excuses,” the dad says. “Do you want to play for the Texans or the Cowboys?”

The boy stops at a certain point, and tells his dad his hip is hurting. The father doesn’t care, and tells him to continue running, then has the child run in front of the car leading into the driveway.

“You better run. I’m gonna run your a** over,” the dad says while honking the horn at his son. “You better hurry up.”

At the end of the video the dad says he got his son up to 10 mph and into a “whole other gear.”

Psst, dads? Threatening to run over your child if he doesn’t run faster doesn’t equal motivation, it equals child abuse.

This father has not yet been identified.
