http://i37.tinypic.com/o8scxv.jpgA Slidell man who knew his girlfriend’s 6-year-old son was scared of heights stranded the boy on the couple’s roof as punishment for not finishing his dinner, authorities said.
William Entrekin, 21, and the boy’s mother, whose identity is being withheld to protect the child, were each arrested and charged with cruelty to a juvenile, a felony that carries up to 10 years in prison with or without hard labor if convicted.
Entrekin also notched a second charge for second-degree cruelty because he also hit the child with a belt, made him perform squats with a handful of bricks, swung him around by the ankles and pinched him until he bruised.
Second-degree cruelty to a juvenile, a charge with an enhanced penalty of up to 40 years if convicted, constitutes bodily harm such as the bruises and cut marks from holding the bricks and genitalia bruises.
Facts about the incidents emerged several days after they occurred when the mother dropped off the boy at his grandmother’s house. The boy’s great-grandmother was also home and noticed the cuts and bruises on his hands.
When asked what happened, the mother admitted the child was holding the bricks as punishment. When the great-grandmother asked if that was abuse, the mother said, “’No,’ and slammed the door” on her way out, according to the arrest report.
The next day the boy’s teacher noticed cuts and bruises on the boy’s hands and arms. When questioned the boy confessed that his mother’s boyfriend was the culprit. School authorities contacted the Sheriff’s Office.http://www.slidellsentry.com/articles/2008/11/30/news/doc492db3ab78bdf393283226.txt
Looks like he could have missed a few of his own dinners. Fat SOB.
I hope they get the "hard labor" sentence.
