After a 10 year old girl came home with a bad progress report, you’d expect the punishment to be to ground her till grades improve or typical scolding by parents, but this one couple decided to take it to the next level and give their child the same punishment they would a dog, hit the jump for more!
A Danbury, Connecticut couple decided apparently that the proper and most humane way to handle their child’s “disappointing” progress report would be to strap an electrical dog collar around her neck and forcing her to bark until it zapped.
Their 9 year old, young daughter stated the negligence to school officials who reported the incident to the state’s Department of Children and Families. The child stated that the collar was only placed on her once but they have “beaten” her several times before. Severe wounds on her neck suggest that the collar was placed one her more than one time, officials reported. Police arrested 43 year old Eduardo Montanez and his wife Paula after the 5 day investigation.
“You have to discipline your kids and keep them in line, but you don’t need to put a shock collar on them,” stated neighbor, Desiree Gesualdi. “That’s disgusting. You don’t do that to your kids or anybody.”
Both are set to appear for heir arraignment on Wednesday, Eduardo Montanez was charged with: “assault, risk of injury to a minor and cruelty to a person. He was ordered held in lieu of $250,000 bond. His wife faces charges that include risk of injury to a minor and conspiracy to commit cruelty to a person. She was ordered held in lieu of $200,000 bond.”
