Judge tells Detroit teen he needs a father to 'beat the hell out him' before sentencing him to six months for brutal mob attack

A judge in Detroit has lashed out at a 19-year-old gang member - telling him he needed a father to 'beat the hell out of him' and keep him out of trouble.

Wayne County Judge James Callahan made the stunning remark before sentencing Latrez Cummings to six months in jail for his role in the brutal mob-style assault on a motorist in April.

In response to the judge's question, Cummings said his father wasn't around when he was growing up.
