some Seattle talk show guy was trying to argue that it is the parents right to do this... to parent the child in any manner he see's fit and he was serious about it.

That's a weak argument...
What about people that beat the shit out of their kids? Can they defend their actions by saying "I was raising him how I saw fit"
What about parents that sexually abuse their own kids? Can they defend their actions by saying "I was raising him how I saw fit"
Clearly the law doesn't agree with this guy that parents can "parent the child in any manner he see's fit".
Should you be allowed to stick a gun in your child's face? Probably not. Although it's probably an effective deterrant! Unfortunately, the kid is going to be a terrible father too someday.
