Father jailed for spanking son

SELLERSBURG, Ind. -- “I don’t want it to go any further than it already
has. It’s ridiculous,” says Ernest Haycraft. “I’ll tell you what, I’ll
never hurt one of my kids again.”

Haycraft is a father of seven facing a battery charge for spanking his
7-year-old son with a belt. Officials say apparently it all began with a
broken toy at Haycraft's home on Lincoln Drive, then a phone call Sunday
evening from a mother reporting her son had been spanked and wouldn't
stop crying.

“They said there was a red welt mark on him,” says Haycraft. “I mean, I
got home and it was gone. I went to jail that night and I got home, it
was gone.”


Haycraft thinks everything was blown out of proportion.

Sellersburg Police Chief Russ Whalen admits the arrest is hardly
run-of-the-mill. “I know we’ve probably did it a couple of times. It’s
not something that happens real frequent.”

Chief Whalen say the investigating officers found what is called
probable cause. “During the investigation the officers checked the young
man and he did have visible marks on his buttocks.”

So while the chief says this incident may not have been considered a
crime 10 years ago, today, he stands behind the arrest.

Chief Whalen says in cases like this, officers are walking a very fine
line. Child Protective Services is also investigating the case.

As for Haycraft, he says he plans to hire an attorney to help him argue
his side of the case in court.

CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL
SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....

CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.

every parent should read this .pdf from
connecticut dcf watch...

http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf

http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com

Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS

*Perpetrators of Maltreatment*

Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13
Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12
Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5

Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.

BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF
REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES
TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY
ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION...
