Wow, talk about brevity. Doesn't that reporter know about the 5 W's and the H? (Who, what, when, where, why, and how.) How old was the child? 3? 18? How long had the abuse been going on? What got him started? How was he turned in? What is the condition of the child? Who was ignoring the on-going abuse or remonstrating with the father but not acting? How many charges are they bringing and what are the likely consequences?
