Dad charged with abusing 11-year-old son (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

Who is the unnamed woman who was protesting the abuse? If it was the mother, wouldn't they say so?

Which makes me think it was NOT the mother. What happened to the mother? Is this yet another custody/visitation situation?

As usual, the mainstream media chooses to confuse the matter.

Dad is identified as SHANE ANDREW SODSAIKICH.

A Tulsa man was charged Thursday with abusing his 11-year-old son last week.

Shane Andrew Sodsaikich, 30, was charged in Tulsa County District Court with "child abuse by injury."

Police were called to Saint Francis Hospital late Friday after a doctor who examined the boy saw bruises on the child's hip and head, according to an arrest report.

A woman told police that she witnessed Sodsaikich pull the boy by the hair, push him to the ground and push his head into a wall, the report says.

The woman also said she yelled at Sodsaikich in an attempt to stop the abuse, the report states. Sodsaikich was booked into the Tulsa Jail on Saturday and remained there as of Thursday night.

Tulsa County Assistant District Attorney Sarah McAmis said Sodsaikich is the father of the child.
