Father Indicted on Corporal Punishment Charges

Quote:

DAYTON -- A Dayton man has been indicted on charges of child endangering, corporal punishment, after police said he beat his daughters.

Police said Greg Horn, 35, is accused of whipping his daughters in the legs with a video cable that connected his TV to his DVD player.

The alleged abuse happened at Horn's home on Fotip Lane.

According to the police report, one of the girls had visible welts on both legs in the thigh area with open wounds.

The girls told police the beatings were their punishment for sneaking out of the house.

The indictment comes this first week of Child Abuse Awareness Month.

"The goal is to always keep kids safe," said Kevin Lavoie from Montgomery County Children Services.

Abuse cases involving children are up. Children Services investigated more than 4,702 cases last year, nearly 100 more cases than in 2011.

Lavoie said their hopes are to lower that number, and to urge people to report the abuse.

"We don't want people to have any reservations about calling 224- KIDS and letting us know about a circumstance or a concern."

Lavoie said that when reporting abuse, you don't have to give your name or know for certain that abuse is actually happening.

"It may be nothing. But rather than analyze it, let our specialists figure it out and the best course of action."

In the case of Greg Horn, detectives said the abuse happened when the girls were visiting their father, and their mother noticed the injuries and called police.

Horn is scheduled to be in court April 16 for his arraignment hearing.

If this part is true, then its considered abuse, and you can't disclaim it.

I'm glad to hear this because this man deserves to spend a long time in prison.

Miguel.

Let's hope the bastard sits in jail for a very long time.

I saw the link to this vid on myvidster but didn't watch it. Must have been very serious

I feel bad for those girls!

If one of the girls did in fact have welts/open wounds, then that is DEFINITELY abuse.

Now, I'm one to believe in corporal punishment but the cable cord was TOO FAR.And on top of that, he UPLOADED THE VIDEO TO WSHH which adds HUMILIATION on top of the punishment.

This could have been handled better.

Good.

In didn't comment in the original thread about the event, so I'll touch upon it here: While sexualized teenage behavior on the internet is messy, I don't believe men have no right to use physical violence as a means to control women's bodies. Where are the videos of young boys getting their ass beat by their fathers for sexually harassing, raping or impregnating young women? The idea that women's only strength in a society run by men is in their sexuality, but men will be damned if they allow women to use it is beyond hypocritical, but unsurprising to me.

Where the ATRL slavemasters at? Hiding their rhinestone encrusted whips? Throw them in jail too.

Now while I do get your point, I'm sure no father congratulates his son for raping/beating a woman....
