School employees call Omaha Police to report a case of suspected child abuse of a 6-year-old boy. The staff at Fontenelle Park Elementary noticed a number of marks on the student's body.

According to the police report the boy told both school officials and police officers that his father had "whipped" him with a belt.

The report details bruising and marks on the child's hip, forearm, upper arm, and across his back. The boy told investigators the marks on his arm were caused when he tried to shield his rear end.

The student said the source of his father's rage was disciplinary action handed down to him from school officials after he had kissed a girl.

Officers noted in their report the boy told them he was scared of the belt, but not scared of his father.

The boy's 27-year-old father is listed as a suspect in the case. The report does not indicate whether or not the child was placed with a foster family.
