"Father accused of throwing son overboard charged with child abuse" had caught my attention on the Los Angeles Times website. The creator of this article is Paloma Esquivel. A father who had gone on a trip with his son and his girlfriend was experiencing difficulties. It is said that he was having a big argument with his girlfriend on the harbor cruise. His seven year old son, had ran after his father, and was melodramatically cyring. His father had been drunk, therefore he was not thinking straight. His anger lead to threatening his seven year old son. If his son were to not shut up, he would throw him overboard.
Eventually, the father had slapped his son repeatedly, and had thrown him overboard. Thankfully, there was a boat moving towards the boy, who had saved him from drowning. The father had later jumped to sea to go after his son, but the boat had already saved him. The boat could have caused physical damage to the boy, if he were to be run over. Sloan Steven Briles, the 35 year old father from Irvine, has been arrested by the Orange County Sheriff's Department. He had been dragged from the cruise ship due to the refusal of getting off on his own. Later on, Briles explained that there was nothing serious about the situation that had taken place. In his words, Briles and his son were just "having fun". He also denied his physical abuse towards his son.
