G Herbo has made some questionable parenting moves before:  such as having his son throw up gang signs.

Earlier this week, he got into a bit of a situation with his boy when a "fan" threatened to beat Herbo as he was holding the youngster.

"My son will whip your a$$," Herbo said.  "I want you to say something about my son.  I'll knock your a$$ out right now."

It didn't get to that, which is a good thing.  Herbo is already facing five to eight years on  14 counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identify theft after being charged by the feds, along with five other men, with participating in a multi-million dollar credit card fraud scheme.
