Beulah Man Charged With Child Abuse For Allegedly Kicking A Child
July 10, 2022
A Beulah man is facing a felony child abuse charge for allegedly kicking a child.
Daniel Raymond Milford, 30, was charged with child abuse without great bodily harm domestic violence.
Milford kicked a child twice in the arm while the child was on the ground, “causing physical and emotional injuries to the child”, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The child was refusing to get ready to go to church and was being punished by another adult, according to an arrest report. Milford told deputies he heard the argument and went into the bathroom, overreacting and kicking the male child, the report states.
The child suffered a bruise about three inches in diameter on his arm and requested to be taken to the hospital “so he could be safe”, according to the report. The age of the child was redacted.
Milford was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,500 bond.

@ Rasheed Jackson..
No truer words have never been spoken.
Thank you!
How can someone bring a church into this? That is a pun below the belt. The focal point is someone abused a child, not the church and to try to put responsibility on how a church feels, is totally out of context with the whole scenario.
There are better ways to get a fit throwing child up off the floor, but to some they may be considered child abuse as well. I have seen, many times, the problems that occur with stepchildren and parents. It can be very frustrating for the stepparent, especially when the “You aint my daddy” or “you aint my momma” start flying. On the other hand, it can be a very difficult, and /or dangerous situation for the child when there is an abusive stepparent. I would rather see LEOs lean on the side of caution towards the child until they have all the facts. I hope things work out for this family.
Jana;
My post was to highlight that in our country “the United States of America” this type of abuse is not condoned or legal, and that in several countries i have traveled to it iss legal to abuse your children and wife.
Saying God Bless America is a way of being thankful for not living where abuse is legal.
Do you always look to demean people who post? Your post was in itself abusive.. all you needed to do for me to clarify my post was to simply ask me to do so.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!
I could cry reading this article “requested to be taken to the hospital “so he could be safe”! That broke my heart! This child should NEVER be returned to that home!
Punishment was warranted but kicking a child..NEVER warranted!
Wonder if his “church” condones this behavior? I pray not.
And Norman,
I wouldn’t even dignify a response to your ignorance, I pray you did not bring children into this world with that same stupid attitude!
In no way am I condoning hurting a child.
But having been the step parent of a manipulative pre-teen, the kid made a lot of false accusations that turned our lives into a living hell. Social services can’t tell what’s true and what isn’t. The accompanying officer that visits has ZERO authority in a visit.
@ Norman
Its apparent that you are not mature yet.
It? You are not a normal person it would appear.
Please abstain!!!!
AT: OhYouKnow…
HOW did we go from alleged child abuse to God Bless America on this thread?
Good lord , you appear to disconnected.
All Ya all
Be Happy you live in The United States.
In many countries this type of incident is expected.
Be Thankful you live in The United States.
In many countries speaking out against this type of incident would get you a visit from the religious police, yes its a real thing.
Be Proud to be a citizen of The United States. Speak well of your country.
Step up and step in. Don’t allow The United States to be like many countries.
God Bless The United States of America.
” The child should have done what it was told to do”
What?? So we are condoning abuse if the child disobey’s? I sure hope you don’t have children. There is a big difference between abuse and punishment and being kicked on the arm causing a bruise is not punishment!
So with your thinking it is okay to beat your significant other if they don’t do as you wish? Somebody should let the police know so that they can stop responding to domestics and putting themselves in unnecessary danger.
dang norman you call a child it? I can see what kind of parent you are if you are one.
I imagine most people don’t respect you either.
A grown man who can’t even control his OWN behavior has no chance of earning a child’s respect. Kicking a child is not discipline.
I’m still wondering how old the child was!!! That’s very important to me to know if this child is under 12 years old!!!!stated he overreacted if your convicted you Better hope and pray the judge don’t OVERREACT to your sentence!!!! You could feel very unsafe just like the child did !!!!!
The child should have done what it was told to do. If that would have happened none of this would be in the news. That what’s wrong with children this day and time they think they should be able to tell the adults what to do. Damn the poor child
Kind of sad when a child asked to go to the hospital so he can be safe. That needs some deep investigations into this situation.
maybe he should be kicked around a bit – . he goes to prison wearing those frames he;s got some abuse comin his way…
Wonder what this sad little person will be when he grows up…
Nah…30 years old…he will never grow up.
Wonder if he would kick another man like this his age.
Nah…he is a coward…limits contact to children.
I did not read that there was on going abuse and other incidents prior to this one. Only that the child expressed wanting to go to the hospital to be safe. Would be interesting to know if this was an isolated incident. If my parents’ generation was raising children in this generation, most of them would surely be in jail.
How horrible! It took the child asking to be taken to the hospital to be safe to get the attention of L.E. Shame on the other adults in the home for not sticking up for the child.
Sad situation for the child.
The child asking to go to the hospital to be safe— that really got to me. I wish I could help this child. Child abuser here needs a higher bond. Lord please protect this child.
