Dad beats mom, locks kids outside in 9 degree weather when they try to escape (Albuquerque, New Mexico)

Dad JULIO VALENCIA is accused of getting drunk, getting "violent" with the mother of his children (of course, his "alleged" actions remain unspecified and basically glossed over), and locking his two kids outside in 9 degree weather when they tried to escape him.

The police even had to taser this dude--that's how "combative" he was even with THEM.

But just watch. I have little doubt that the judges will turn him loose in no time, so he can terrorize his "womenfolk" all over again. And if Mom tried to leave this guy, it would be even worse for all of them. Unattainable/unenforceable protection orders along with joint custody has made self-protection impossible these days.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - An Albuquerque father is in jail, accused of locking his two children out of their home when it was only 9 degrees outside.

According to the two daughters -- ages 17 and 12 -- their father, Julio Valencia, came home drunk Saturday, got violent with their mother and then locked them out when they ran outside to get away from him. The girls were both barefoot and had no jackets on.

Police said when they arrived, Valencia was so combative, they had to shoot him with a Taser to subdue him.

Valencia, 56, is charged with two counts of child abuse.
