WOW – Stand back folks….. keyboard warrior right here ^^^^. Wasn’t there yet can broadcast a story as well as fake news channels. Hush you. Donel, cut your losses and focus on getting yourself straight. Alcohol is no excuse. Fix yourself.
Good father loves his wife? Idc what stress or drug you are under you don’t ever put your hands on someone moreless a child. I am sure that little 6 yr old doesn’t care the reason he was hit. To much child abuse and child neglect going on around or town lately. Time to defend our babies that can not defend themselves.
@James, Reinhardt Heydrich was a good husband and doting father.
@ nod
Yes, I’m sure. I’m also sure I would never take substances that make me not in control of my own actions. So either way, the fault is his. I hope 100% that he cleans up, but until then, his family needs to stay away from him for their own safety. Maybe he can earn then back.
leo, are you sure? if anyone takes enough drugs to be totally out of their head they do not know what they might do.
hope he get punished to the fullest extent of the law…maybe, some people shouldn’t have kids if they cannot devote their full time and effort into raising them? how can one go off on a drinking and drug binge and expect to raise a child?
@esc leo. Very true he shall be held accountable for his wrong actions. Not saying he didnt do wrong. If its true than this is a horrible thing. I just know him and dont find this to be something he would do. And im sure of all people you should know drugs and alcohol can change how a person acts or reacts in various situations. He needs councelling and friends to help him through whatever he is going through right now. Not people bashing him and turning their backs on him.
I’ve known him since high school. He loves his wife and kids. It’s definitely a bad situation and doesn’t look good for him as a person or business owner. Man this sucks so much
@ James
No amount of drugs or alcohol will make me beat my family.
I have known him since middle school. And he loved his children alot!!!. Yes this is a bad situation but as my friend i still have his back. He made a mistake by mixing drugs and alcohol yes. But i cant stand to see negative comments about him when he i know is a good father. Im sure he feels terrible today when he sobered up. Its sad that a child had to be involved. Bro text me come by the house.. Stress can cause a good person to make bad decisions… Bottling it up is very bad lets talk sometime
WOW – beating up on a 6 year old child! Don’t you feel like a big man. I bet you every person that reads this will be glad to give you some of your own medicine. That jail cell is too good for you!
