Dad charged after "allegedly" hitting and kicking 13-year-old daughter at birthday party (Taylor, Wisconsin)

Dad ROGER A. HALE comes across one unstable nutjob. Seems to me like he has no business being allowed around kids at all. But even if the mom were to leave this loony, he'd still most likely get custody rights and visitation. These types always seem to.

Father charged with child abuse

by Cassandra Colson Reporter

A Taylor man has been charged with child abuse after allegedly harming his 13-year-old daughter.

Roger A. Hale, 39, was charged in Jackson County Circuit Court earlier this month for the Jan. 31 incident in which he is accused of hitting and kicking his daughter.

According to the criminal complaint, the girl was at her sister’s home preparing for a birthday party on Jan. 30 when Hale began to eat some candy intended for the party. The girl told Hale to stop eating it, after which he threatened to punch her in the face, according to the complaint.

Hale then forced the girl to leave with him and told her she was not allowed to go to her sister’s home, according to the complaint. The girl and her mother returned to the home the next day to assist with the party when Hale returned and began yelling and swearing.

After the girl began to leave the home, Hale began hitting and pushing her and also kicked her in the buttocks, according to the complaint.

The girl told a sheriff’s deputy Hale struck her in the arm with a fist after leaving the home on Jan. 30 and also stated he kicked her in the buttocks during the incident the next day, according to the complaint.

Hale stated he did not harm the girl, according to the complaint.

Hale recently was released on a $1,000 signature bond. He has an adjourned initial appearance scheduled for Oct. 11.
