PORT ANGELES, Wash. – A man in Washington state who branded his children like cattle has been acquitted of second-degree assault charges.
A jury in Port Angeles deadlocked Thursday on two lesser charges of fourth-degree assault, and a judge declared a mistrial on those counts.
The two teenage sons of 39-year-old Mark J. Seamands testified that they had wanted to be branded.
The Sequim (SKWIM') man was branded himself. He testified he wanted to bring the family closer together while he was going through a divorce. Seamands' ex-wife said she was horrified when she saw the scars.
Seamands' 18-year-old daughter also was branded, but the dad wasn't charged with assaulting her because she was old enough to give consent.
The children were branded with the letters "SK," which stands for "Seamands' kids."
wow my mom just gave us kisses and hugs.....

Hi
if I might show my love to any body that I care about him/her,I just look in his or her eyes and say I LOVE YOU from my own heart forever.If you in fact really loved that person It's effect on him or her and this is the best way.
this little simple sentence if told honestly from your own heart is the best,also it needs a brave man who do not have scare of anything.
good luck my friend.

Nope, I don't want to be branded with a flat hot iron bearing the initials of our family clan. No no no..
And I won't imposed any sort of branding to my children. Because I believe there is so many ways on how to show your love to your children. And how to keep them close to you without hurting them.
