This is a good illustration of the "failure to protect" charge being leveled at mothers. Statistically, the fathers rights people love to tell us that mothers abuse just as much as fathers, if not more.
In reality, mothers are arrested for "failing" to subdue some violent goon who outweighs them by 50 pounds. Somehow, like Wonderwoman, they're going to stop a violent enraged man from wailing away on a child. Don't we all wish we could do that....
Two arrests: one for the violent crime of assault, one for endangerment.

PIKE, N.Y. (WIVB) - Two Wyoming County parents have been arrested after deputies say the father used a bamboo stick to punish a 7-year-old child.
In the Town of Pike, Wyoming County Sheriff's deputies took 31-year-old Christian Frazier and 31-year-old Sarah Varnes into custody, charging both with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Frazier was also charged with second degree assault. Deputies say Frazier used a bamboo stick to punish a 7-year-old child while three children under the age of 17 looked on.
Frazier was taken to the Wyoming County Jail on $10,000 bail. Varnes was released after being processed. Both will return to court in September.

Please get your fact's straight. This man is not the child's father. The mother fled from the state of florida at the beginning of june with the child. Up until that point the father was in the child's life. By the way I'm the child's Father!
ReplyDeleteIf the basic facts are not correct, you need to contact the newspaper in question. I analyze what is reported in the media as it is reported. I have no resources to independently investigate each case that's featured here.
