Forced feeding, beatings, handcuffs and contraints--let's call this what it is. Which is torture.
Where is the mother? Frankly, it doesn't sound like there is a mother in this home. Otherwise she would have shown up in this account, at minimum for "failing" to protect.
I am strongly suspecting that JEREMY YACHIK is a single father. So how did he get possession of this girl?
Let's ask the usual questions that reporters never ask: Is Mom dead? If so, by natural causes? Is she "missing"? Did dad strip Mom of custody through the courts?
Whenever you have a father like this one, who is totally drunk on power and control, it is crucial that these questions be raised.
Notice that this POS is out on $1500 bail. Total daddy coddling....

Police Officer Accused Of Child Abuse
By: AP
Updated: Thu 4:50 AM, Oct 24, 2013
A Berthoud police officer is accused by his teenage daughter of force-feeding her hot sauce, beating her with ropes, and tying her hands with plastic zip ties and handcuffs.
Loveland police say they arrested 35-year-old Jeremy Yachik Wednesday morning at his home without incident. The allegations by his daughter are outlined in an arrest affidavit.
The Denver Post reports that Yachik faces four counts of child abuse and one count of false imprisonment. He's out on $1,500 bail and due in court Nov. 12 to be advised of the charges.
Loveland police say they began investigating Yachik in late September. Berthoud officials last week decided to have Larimer County Sheriff's Sgt. John Feyen serve as the town's police chief during the investigation. Meanwhile, Berthoud Police Chief Glenn Johnson has been put on administrative leave.

FARMINGTON, CT (WFSB) - A 7-week-old infant is recovering from vicious injuries at the hand of her father, according to Farmington police.
Connecticut Children's Medical Center informed police that they were treating a 7-week-old girl who was suffering from multiple bone fractures and a urinary tract infection.
Police investigated the incident and the baby's father, who was identified as Morsy Elzawawy, as arrested.
Elzawawy was charged with assault, risk of injury to a minor and reckless endangerment. He faced a judge for the first time Monday.
However, court documents released Tuesday show how the girl received some of her injuries. Elzawawy told police the infant fell all the way down the stairs from halfway up the stairs.
Elzawawy blamed medications he was taking for the way he treated the baby and told police "he was recently taking Percocet and Valium from a recent motor vehicle accident."
The child's mother said in the warrant she doesn't believe her husband could hurt the baby.
Along with the criminal investigation, the state Department of Children and Families is now involved.
The baby and another child are now in protective custody.
Neighbors at the Farmington complex where Elzawawy lives said they were disgusted by what police said was going on.
"How could you do that to a defenseless child?" asked Robin Cmiel, of Farmington.

Father burned 15-year-old daughter to death for talking to fiance: Yemen authorities
The man allegedly set the teen on fire after he caught her talking on the phone with her betrothed, officials said.

A man burned his 15-year-old daughter to death after he caught her talking on the phone with her fiance.
DUBAI — A father burned his 15-year-old daughter to death for keeping in touch with her fiance, police in Yemen said.
"The father committed this heinous crime on the pretext that his daughter had been keeping contacts with her fiance," according to a statement posted on a police website Tuesday. It added that the 35-year-old man had been arrested in a remote village in the central Taiz province.
Local news websites reported that the father had caught the girl chatting on the phone with her betrothed.
Her death sparked further outrage in the country where an eight-year girl died from internal bleeding on her wedding night last month. Authorities said they would prosecute those responsible.
Traditional tribal customs in parts of Yemen prohibit contacts between men and women before marriage. Poverty and concern about "family honor" prompts many Yemenis to marry off their daughters young, often below the age of 18, a practice that has been criticized by groups like Human Rights Watch.

A man opened fire at a car with his 2-year-old son and the child's mother in it in Pasadena, and police were looking for the shooter and an accomplice today.
Four bullets hit the vehicle, but neither the woman, 22, nor the toddler were injured in the volley of gunfire at 2 p.m. Saturday along Hammond Street at Raymond Avenue, said Lt. Jason Clawson of the Pasadena Police Department.
The father and the mother were believed to have been arguing, Clawson said. She drove away with the child and was followed by the father and a 21- year-old Eagle Rock man in another vehicle until both cars came to a stop at the intersection and father allegedly opened fire, said the lieutenant.
Initially, there was no evidence of a shooting or witnesses.
"Everyone just heard shots," Clawson said.
But about an hour later, the mother contacted the police from Altadena to report the shooting, the lieutenant said.
The father and the other man who rode along with him have yet to be publicly identified because of an ongoing investigation, Clawson said.

Dad charged in beating of son (Memphis, Tennessee)
Downplaying and trivializing violence by fathers is common in the media and the courts.
Sorry, leaving blood on the pants of your child isn't a "paddling" or a "spanking." It's an assault.
Oh, yea, it's not "neglect" either. That's when you "forgot" to feed your kid or didn't clean the dog crap off the floor.
Dad is identified as LAVERN FLYNN. No mention of a mother in the home.

Drunk dad charged with slapping, kicking son in the head (Moundsville, West Virginia)
Is this a custody/visitation situation?
There is no mention of the mother being in the home when all this happened--either before Dad came home drunk from the bar or after. The mother met the injured boy at the hospital.
But as usual, the news account is not real clear about the family's living arrangements.
Dad is identified JEFFERY LEE MARTIN.

Father Facing Abuse Counts Allegedly slaps, kicks boy in head
October 19, 2013
By SARAH HARMON - Staff Writer , The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register
A Moundsville man was charged this week for allegedly slapping and kicking his son in the head after coming home intoxicated from a bar and accusing the boy of stealing cigarettes.
Jeffery Lee Martin, 39, was charged with malicious wounding and child abuse resulting in injury. Bond was posted at $5,000.
A criminal complaint states the Marshall County Deputy Sheriff was notified last week by a school resource officer of a student who needed attention.
The report states the deputy sheriff saw the student had a black eye and swelling on the left side of his face as well as a brace on his left arm.
According to the complaint, the student said Jeffery Martin had come home from the bar the night before and accused the boy of stealing cigarettes and began "slapping him around."
The boy stated in the report he was slapped by Martin several times before being knocked to the floor, where Martin began kicking the boy repeatedly in the head. The boy reported he used his arm to protect his head and thought his arm was broken from the blows.
The boy was taken to a local hospital to receive treatment where he was met by his mother, the report states.
The complaint shows law enforcement contacted Martin, who admitted he got into a "scuffle" with his son, but that he hit him in self-defense.
A preliminary hearing for Martin is set for 2:30 p.m. Oct. 29.
