Know County, IN —The average rate of families who experience domestic violence in the country is around 10 percent. However, when we look at police officer families, the 10 percent number quadruples. As the National Center for Women and Policing points out, two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence. It happens so often that it is not even reported on in the media any more unless the case is utterly horrifying — like the one below.
A Vincennes Police Officer and his wife were arrested over the weekend after it was discovered that they were essentially torturing a child. Thirty-seven year old Vincennes Police Officer Robert Hammond and his wife, 32-year old Kristi Hammond, were booked into the Knox County Jail Saturday. They are now facing charges of criminal confinement of a child and neglect of a dependent. Hammond is also facing an additional single count of Battery.
The cop and his wife are accused of locking Kristi Hammond’s daughter, Robert’s stepdaughter outside at night like a dog. The couple would not let the girl inside the home and she was forced to sleep outside all night long on multiple occasions on the wooden deck. But that’s not all.
According to the court documents, the couple is accused of using duct tape to tie the child down on multiple occasions while beating her face and head with a wooden spoon. During the beatings, they would duct tape her mouth too, so she couldn’t talk. You cannot make this stuff up.
Court documents show that the child’s actual father suspected the abuse as far back a June and reported it to the Indiana State Police and child protective services. Police say that Kristie admitted to using the wooden spoon on the child which left bruises on her face, arms, head, and buttocks.
In a statement, the Vincennes Police Department says Hammond has been suspended without pay as of November 1...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cop-arrested-for-repeatedly-duct-taping-child-down-beating-her-face-with-a-wooden-spoon/257060
