TRIGGER WARNING: This article deals with violence.

Constable Trevor Stacy of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has been charged with shooting his son, Mike, in the leg.

"My father always had a history of violence," Mike told Tranquil Heights Chronicles. "Ever since I was a child, my father told me he has the right to do to me whatever he wants. After he shot me in the leg, and emergency services arrived, my father downplayed it by saying, 'It's no big deal, get over it.'"

When Tranquil Heights asked Mike where his mother was, he replied, "My mother either justifies my father's actions or keeps her mouth shut."

Since Mike was 18 years old at the time of the incident, his mother, Carol, cannot be charged with failing to report child abuse. According to a police report, Carol never reported the domestic abuse out of fear of her husband.
