Yes. He is faithful to take care of his kids and train them up in the way they should go.

Punishment is getting wacked for not having self control. Discipline is being forced to function in strict guidelines so you can learn to have self control.

If you mean 'don't know him' as in 'not saved, then, Generally speaking, 'no'.

He no more has the Fatherly obligation to do that for them than I do for the bratty kid living next door.
 
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11
