How do these minor domestic violence reach the police and media? They should be able to resolve them without the police.

The mention of the vacuum cleaner is a litte frivolous. The headline is designed to attract attention, but the reality is, irrespective of the implement, a father repeatedly bashed his son in the head. There is nothing funny about that.
