Greg Horn arrested for punishing daughters over twerk video
 |
| Ohio dad, Greg Horn, beat daughters for sneaking out of the house. |
Daughters were beaten for sneaking out of the house.
The daughters sustained whips on their legs according to one report. According to the daughters they were not punished for twerking, but for sneaking out of their father's home.
It brings to question what kind of punishment a parent can delve out. People were outraged, and apparently contacted CPS.
Domestic Violence : Corporal Punishment and Domestic Violence
Can a parent’s corporal punishment (physical discipline) of a minor child constitute unlawful “domestic violence” in Ohio?
From Ohio Legal Services
Under Ohio law corporal punishment (physical discipline) is the right of the parent. "Reasonable" parental discipline is neither domestic violence nor child endangering. Most cases of child abuse are brought under the child endangering stature, R.C. 2919.22, rather than the domestic violence statute. However, there have been some cases where parents have been criminally charged under the domestic violence statute, R.C. 2919.25, instead of under the child endangering statute.
What level of punishment is appropriate for sneaking out of the house?
