Dad accused of severely beating 8-year-old son for "disrespecting" teacher (Indianapolis, Indiana)

This was not a spanking for being "disrespectful." This little boy was literally found curled up in a fetal position with severe and multiple injuries.

Notice that it was "the grandmother" who called the police, and that these is NO MENTION of a mother in this home at all. Was there one?

Or is EARNEST HOLLY a custodial dad? Notice that this piece of sh** has a previous history of domestic violence (was the victim this boy's mother?). Also observe that Daddy was not prosecuted for a previous robbery, because the police couldn't "find" the victim. Really? Wonder why?

And now we have a mother who is apparently "missing" as well. How very, very  interesting. Especially now that we know more about this father's history of violence and intimidation...

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT

An 8-year-old boy was taken to Riley Hospital for Children Monday, after police said his father severely beat him.

An officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a home in the 3400 block of North Keystone Avenue around 8:50 p.m. in reference to a child reportedly beaten by his father. When the officer arrived, the grandmother of the 8-year-old boy told the officer she called police after seeing the injuries on her grandson.

The grandmother said her son, 25-year-old Earnest Holly, hit his son after he was disrespectful to a teacher at school Monday.

According to the police report, the officer found the boy lying on a bed in a fetal position. The officer stated the boy was trembling and “clearly in severe pain.” The officer said the boy’s upper body was covered in welts, bruises and swelling. He reported seeing similar injuries on the boys’ arms, with the left arm appearing to be broken. Additionally, the officer reported the 8-year-old sustained injuries to his leg where his father allegedly struck him with the belt.

The 8-year-old told the officer his father hit him in the forehead, when asked about the large bump on his forehead. According to the police report, the boy told the officer his father hit him several times with the belt and then began using his fists. The boy also told the officer this was not the first time his father hit him.

Police said the boy was transported to Riley Hospital for Children for evaluation for the trauma he suffered to his head. The officer said the boy’s left arm was not broken.

The officer arrested Holly shortly after speaking with the 8-year-old and his grandmother.

Fox59 found Holly has had several encounters with law enforcement. Documents show Holly had several traffic arrests. Additionally, in 2010, Holly’s girlfriend at the time told police he grabbed her by the neck, threw her into a washing machine and beat her. Holly was also mentioned as one of four suspects in the attempted robbery of a Kroger in Broad Ripple in June 2010. However, Holly was not arrested because police were unable to locate a victim.
