A Connecticut man has been arrested on allegations he coached his 8-year-old neighbor to swear and say racial slurs for a video he posted on YouTube.
The boy's mother told the Connecticut Post that her son was paid $1 to make the video titled "Swearing Kid." She says the video has upset her family.
Police say the video shows the boy saying obscenities and racial slurs in his front yard, and a man's voice can be heard encouraging him to make the comments.

I don't support teaching your child hate, however I also don't support the state trying to tell people how to live their lives. If that's how he wants to raise his child, he should be able to do so without state interference. In fact, the 1st and 14th Amendments should protect him from such frivelous charges, though not in this day in age, to where the Constitution is no longer even worth the antique paper it was printed on.
The 1st Amendment should protect this guy's freedom of speech and since his child is a minor, he retains those rights for his child. Furthermore, the 14th Amendment, particularly the "Due Process Clause" should force the state to abide by the Bill of Rights.
