How can I remove paint from a cement bench?

We have a heavy, white, cement bench in our back yard that is peeling. We want to keep it but our son tries to peel the stuff off when he can. Is there a good way to strip it and repaint (preferebly one that doesnt take weeks)!How can I remove paint from a cement bench?

Paint-stripper (water based) and a wire brush. If you want to repaint it, make sure you get a good primer and use a paint designed for masonry.
We had a similar problem with our patio floor. We scraped off all the loose paint with wire brush, then asked the paint store for a recommended paint. They gave us an epoxy based paint meant for garage floors and it's held up great for the past two years!
