Loving, helpful children they were not.
Two Connecticut teens allegedly beat their dad with a shovel after he asked them to clear the snow from the driveway.
Stamford police said the 42-year-old man, who was not identified, was treated for cuts to his head.
The sons, ages 17 and 19, fled from the scene.

On the flip side - here's a case where it was Dad who behaved badly.
A New Bedford, Mass., man was arrested after attacking a mouse mascot at Chuck E. Cheese.
Trahan Pires, 34, thought the 19-year-old man beneath the mask had pinned his son against a video game, so he ripped off his head piece.
Pires was fined $500.

Help! I'm having a Mac attack!
A Fort Pierce, Fla., woman called 911 three times when her local McDonald's told her they were out of Chicken McNuggets.
"This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money," Latreasa Goodman told police.
She said she asked for a refund, but the store refused and offered her a McDouble instead.

Wasting emergency dispatchers' time apparently isn't an isolated event.
A recently divorced German woman called police more than 100 times asking advice on how to find a new husband.
Officers went to her house - and confiscated her cellphone battery.
"Having no boyfriend is not an emergency," one said.

De Feo with the corner kick to De Feo who heads it to De Feo who shoots and scores!
An Italian amateur soccer team has refs' heads spinning because every player has the same last name - and none is related.
In addition, the southern Italian team's 12 sponsors, coach and doctor are all named De Feo. Apparently, it's a very common name in the town of Serino.
