STEPFATHER 'HIT SON FOR WINNING AT MONOPOLY'
A MAN punched his 13-year-old stepson and kneed him in the groin after
losing a game of Monopoly, a court heard yesterday.
The stepfather, 49, who cannot be named for legal reasons, forced the
boy's 11-year-old sister to play and flew into a rage when he lost against her
too, a jury at Blackfriars Crown Court was told.
So many rows erupted over the game that the boy's mother threw the board
away when the father smashed up a table after another defeat.
The defendant, from Penge, southeast London, denies two charges of child cruelty and one charge of causing actual bodily harm between October 1998 and August 2000.
The man left the teenager with 17 bruises after landing on his property
and being bankrupted, the boy said. "His knee came up to my stomach and
private area." The boy said that his stepfather shouted: "He has ruined my life."
"How can I have ruined his life over one game of Monopoly?" the teenager
asked the court. "He gets my sister to play, even though she doesn't like
it. He gets annoyed because he tells her she's got to play and then he loses."
The boy, who now lives with his natural father, denied that when he won a game he put his hand up in a victory salute and shouted: "I've beaten the w****r."
The case continues.
