HORRIFIC footage of a dad beating his son because he believes the boy is possessed by the devil has been screened on medical talk show, Dr Phil in the US.
Twelve-year-old Jack, whose mother claims he suffers from a mental illness, is seen being held down by his neck while smacked by his father.
“I believe my son is possessed. Is it a demon or is it the devil, I can’t say, but it’s scary,” John says of his son, when speaking about Jack’s condition.
“I feel that it is demons inside him controlling him. There is definitely something not right with Jack.”

John says during the segment, which aired in the US on Monday, that his son is possessed by evil forces that are instructing the boy to kill his family.
“At two and a half years old he began exhibiting traits,” John says to Dr Phil McGraw when questioned about why he thinks his son is possessed.
“There was the stacking of glass around his mother’s neck point side up ... I caught him in the middle of it.”
When probed about the glass incident, John said he’d prayed over his son at night in a desperate bid to rid his son of evil spirits.
“I don’t know everything about demonic forces,” he said.
“Just like any man I have a past ... I’ve come to know Jesus in the last four years ... a lot of the things that I’ve read, he sees the demon in his sleep and when he closes his eyes. He showed his mother pictures of what he sees.”
John said his biggest fear is that his son will one day hurt — or even kill — his family.
“He [Jack] said he [demon] is telling me to get a knife and kill the family,” John recalled of a conversation he had with his son.
“So that time I let him come out [on to the balcony] I made another phone call, we took him [Jack] back to the hospital.”
But Jack’s mother, Jen — who is no longer married to John — says her son suffers from a mental illness, and that John’s harsh discipline has only aggravated Jack’s behaviour.
“My 12-year-old son, Jack, is completely out of control,” says Jen.
“He’s hit me, kicked me, punched me, broken my windows in my house, threatened to stab me with a knife.
“One occasion, he broke a wooden dowel, and he told me if I came any closer, he was going to stab me to death.
“He’s told me he wished that I was dead.”

“John is spanking Jack, and we’ve been told not to spank Jack from CPS and from the state hospital,” she said.
“John doesn’t understand what’s going on in Jack’s head. He needs to understand more, instead of just thinking that he can beat him into behaving.”
Speaking to Dr Phil, Jen claimed her husband had an exorcism space chosen, but she wouldn’t allow any spiritual healing to take place.
“He [John] said he had a whole group of guys working on it, and he already picked out the place, and he’d already had his house blessed,” Jen claimed.
“Now, my 12-year-old believes he has demons inside of him. There’s no way on Earth that I’m going let him perform an exorcism on my son.”

Dr Phil McGraw, who is an American television personality, author and psychologist, said autism and Asperger’s syndrome would be on his radar ahead of considering him as demonically possessed.
Dr Phil said the way John has been approaching his son wasn’t in the Jack’s best interest — but straight out “bullying”.
“This is intimidating and violent behaviour,” Dr McGraw said.
“You’re bullying that boy. That is straight out bullying.”
