Cruelty to children and battery were reported on Edwards Lane recently after a Danielsville Elementary School student was found with bruising on the back of her legs by the school nurse, who reported it to the Department of Family and Children’s Services (DFCS).
Cruelty to children, battery reported on Edwards Lane
Officer Bradley Free went with a DFCS worker to the child’s residence where they talked with the child’s mother, who said her boyfriend had administered a spanking to the girl and a sibling after they refused to eat their dinner. She stated that “they had to give the children several different whippings before they would eat their food.”
She said she put cream on her daughter’s legs afterwards and kept her out of school the following day to make sure she was OK. She said her boyfriend usually disciplines the children when they won’t listen to her. All three children were removed from the home and turned over to their grandmother while the incident remains under investigation.
Other incidents on file at the sheriff’s office recently included:
•A woman and man on Hwy. 29 South said they have received numerous calls from an unknown number. The woman said she suspects it is her soon-to-be ex-husband making the calls and that she is afraid he may come to the residence because of past statements he has made.
•A man on Williams Wilson Road reported that his home had been broken into and a paintball gun stolen from an unlocked gun cabinet.
•A man on Fowler Freeman Road reported that four suspicious people came to his home in a black car. He said they opened both doors on the vehicle and he could hear them cursing. As he walked out the front door the car left. He wanted a report on file.
•A woman on Neese Commerce Road reported that her home had been burglarized by breaking the front door. Her jewelry had been gone through, though she stated that nothing appeared to be missing.

•A warrant for disorderly conduct has been issued for a man who reportedly had severe chest pains in the back of a patrol car while on his way to be booked on the charge last week. The man was taken to EMS station three in Ila instead and from there transported to ARMC for treatment. The incident began when officer Joshua Smith responded to an Allen Road home where a female caller stated that her ex-husband was “cussing” in front of his 3-year old child. When Smith arrived, he observed the woman, with the child in her arms, walking away from the residence while the man was cursing and yelling from the doorway. The man began to walk toward Smith, continuing to curse and yell, all within earshot of his son. He smelled of alcohol, Smith noted, and said he had had two mixed drinks and taken Xanax. The man said he was upset over text messages a man he knows had sent him saying “you better be packing because I’m gonna’ come behind you and get you.” Smith looked at his cell phone, but did not see any threatening text messages.

Now, all those who think spanking is perfectly acceptable and effective: Resorting to spanking means a parent has not done proper parenting or is too impatient with proper parenting, but most likely means they have no idea at all about child development and parenting because they don't care or are simply too dim-witted to grasp it. Got it, folks? Rinse and repeat.
He may have done wrong also it might have been handled different . My own mother would have just told me eat what was there or go to bed hungry and not allowed me to have anything else . I either ate or went to bed and I didn't starve .
The next morning I was hungry as a mule and I began to eat and be thankful for the food from that day forward, regardless what was put on the table for me to eat .
Stop spoiling your children mothers and stop trying to always be their friend. Sometimes you have to be a parent also. Its wrong to expect the Husband or BF to always have to be the bad guy.
For those of you who set here behind your monitors and phony names, tying these people in a court of opinion or gossip and without fact ,I say unto you ,judge not less yee be judged .
"you who sit here behind your monitors and phony names"
You, JC, are full of crap.
