Dad accused of battering 12-year-old son (Fort Wayne, Indiana)

Dad LARRY D. HILLIARD has been charged with felony battery. Notice that there is no mention of a mother at all. Is this another one of those Indiana abuser daddies with full custody?

Had this happened to a prisoner of war, we'd be calling it torture. Why aren't we here?

The Journal Gazette

A Fort Wayne father is accused of punching his 12-year-old son in the face and forcing him to stand in a stress position for an extended amount of time.

Larry D. Hilliard, 39, of the 900 block of Francis Street, was preliminarily charged Wednesday with felony battery to a child under 14 years old.

According to court records, Hilliard struck his son in the right eye with a closed fist July 19 after learning that the boy had urinated in a cup. Hilliard then used his fists to repeatedly hit his son in the face, court records said.

Hilliard also made his son raise his hands as high as he could, put his hands on a wall and place his feet away from the wall to the point that he had to stand on his toes, court records said. The boy told police this punishment lasted from July 19 until Tuesday. It’s not clear whether the boy stayed in this stress position the entire time.

Hilliard’s bail was set at $2,500, and he was out of custody Wednesday evening. A magistrate has ordered him to have no contact with his son.
