All child abuse charges dropped against 'Hopscotch Dad'; despite confession, gets "shared parenting" rights AND sues (Burlington, Kentucky)

This is the way it's going now. Not only do judges refuse to hold abusive fathers like CHRISTOPHER ROBISON accountable for their actions, but it will do you no good as a protective parent to divorce them. They will get "shared parenting (if not sole custody) anyway. If you further object to abuse occuring during "shared parenting," the judge (in this case LINDA BRAMLAGE) will still refuse to convict despite physical evidence (and a confession!) to the contrary. And Dad's FULL RIGHTS UNDER THE SHARED PARENTING will be fully restored and affirmed. And, and even bigger threat: Daddy will file a lawsuit against the detective, the prosecutor, and the protective parent for interfering in Daddy's "right" to beat or neglect the kids as he sees fit.

These are the same damn judges who wring their hands and say what a "tragedy" it is when kids like these turn up dead, and how nobody has a crystal ball. Ad nauseum....

BURLINGTON, KY (FOX19) - A judge has dismissed all charges against a Boone County father who was accused of beating his 5-year-old son for not playing hopscotch well enough.

After a four-hour trial, Judge Linda Bramlage cleared Christopher Robison of child abuse for the incident involving his son, as well as a child neglect charge involving his 8-year-old daughter.

In July, Robison was charged with criminal abuse for hitting his son with a belt over a game of hopscotch. Robison admitted to hitting the child, but the child did not suffer any serious injuries. In August, that felony charge was dropped.

Judge Bramlage restored Robison's full rights under the shared parenting arrangement he had under his divorce.

Robison and his attorney, Eric Deters, have filed a lawsuit against the detective in the case, as well as Robison's ex-wife and the Boone County Commonwealth Attorney.

Robison is a teacher at Camp Ernst Middle School. Deters sent Boone County Superintendent Randy Poe a letter notifying him that charges have been dropped and asking Poe to restore Robison's teaching job.
