Three Adults Arrested for Child Abuse – Posted Video of Abuse on Facebook

The child abuse shown in the 6 minutes video is totally wrong. But the ignorance displayed by the three adults by posting the video on Facebook was dumb beyond words.

The video of the child abuse has since been taken down from the Facebook page, but not before getting over 8600 views and getting the attention of law enforcement. The mother of the child, along with two other adults were arrested.

The video shows the child being hit with a belt over 50 times and smacked in the face. The mother is heard threatening to share the video on Facebook and saying she does not care if viewers call Child Protection Services about the incident.

According to Prosecutor David Leyton, “the law says that you can administer ‘reasonable’ physical force upon a child for disciplinary purposes. I think this was ‘unreasonable.’”

“The adults in this case clearly went beyond what is a reasonable level of ‘parental discipline,’” he continued. “What the video in this case reveals is a group of adults whose actions were a criminal assault against a child and that behavior cannot be condoned nor allowed under the law.”

The child’s mother Demitria Powell, as well as Stefon Felton and Uteas Taylor  are charged with third degree child abuse, conspiracy to commit child abuse in the third degree, and third degree child abuse committed in the presence of another child.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
