Or, perhaps it’s the frigid winters?

Wisconsin Parents Poured Water on Pantsless, Duct-Taped Children Outside

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — A man and wife from Cadott face child neglect charges that include allegations they duct-taped their two boys together as they stood outside without their pants and also poured water on them.

A criminal complaint filed in Chippewa County Circuit Court said the case began Oct. 18 when a sheriff’s investigator and social worker spoke with a 6-year-old boy at Cadott Elementary School who had bruising around one hip, across his back and on the left jaw and ear area.

Investigators said they learned the boy’s mother slapped him on the face and his stepfather punished him with a belt. They said they also learned of an incident in which the boy was hit with a belt and then had to stand duct-taped to his 7-year-old stepbrother as they were standing outside with no pants on and water was poured on them.

The 28-year-old husband was charged with two counts of physical abuse of a child and one of causing mental hart to a child. His 27-year-old wife was charged with two counts of child neglect and one of causing mental harm by failing to protect a child.

The are scheduled to be in court Jan. 2.

I’d like to duct tape those two together, in the middle of town, totally naked, in the dead of winter, and run water over THEM!

    I swear this state has become the drunken uncle at family reunions. Any time we make news you can bet it is going to be an embarrassment
