Um, that would be the part you snipped?


Again:

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will
not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother,
and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto
them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him,
and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the
gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his
city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not
obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the
men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so
shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall
hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21


He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be
put to death. -- Exodus 21:17


This strikes me as a bit of an over-reaction.
