    I agree with you “Bewildered”. There’s nothing in the article supporting such hateful comments.

    How can some people read more out of a newspaper article than what is printed? Does anybody know exactly what he has done.? I read that he didn’t or couldn’t enforce that the child attended school . Did he use corporal punishment??!
    Before any attacks regarding my post, I am just wondering. Why Nasty or dirty?

    Nothing worse than a dirty cop who attempts to make his own department look bad thinking he’s above the law. Makes me puke. Bless that child’s heart. I pray the child is free of this nasty, fake cop. No real “Dad” does this to their child.
