A local father accused of beating his child over a game of hopscotch appeared before a judge today for the first time, to enter a plea of "not guilty." Chris Robison is charged with felony abuse.

Police say he beat his five year old son with a belt on July 4th during a game in front of the family home, in the presence of other neighbors.
