I don't think this video ever had an update, but he ultimately got sentenced to between 40 months and 10 years in prison. He's very unlikely to ever be around that child or any other again, even after he gets released.
To tell your judge you not only beat your child but you’re justified in doing so. His kid is in the hospital for a week. My money is that the prosecutor puts him under the jail
I just want to add, rhabdomyolysis is a kidney condition causes by damged muscle tissue, usually as a result of a crush injury. I can also be caused by significant damage to muscle. It causes tiny little shreds of muscle to enter the blood stream and enter the kidneys, essentially shutting them down and can be considered life threatening. It has absolutely nothing to do with poor hydration. That child was injured seriously in order to develop that condition. It infurates me that he has the gall to make statements like this.
Well, it’s the concentration that causes the problem, so both the amount of broken muscle cells and the amount of hydration are important. There are always muscle cells breaking down, but that doesn’t usually cause problems, as the concentration in the blood is very low. If a bunch of muscle cells are all broken at once, it becomes difficult for the body to dilute them out fast enough.
It has to be severe muscle damage to cause rhabdomyolysis. In addition to what you said, it creates clotting throughout the body because those large particles can’t get through tiny vessels. All of the clotting factors can be used up on these clots leading to disseminated intravascular clotting (DIC) and leading to bleeding/hemorrhaging which is often fatal.
Thanks for this comment and the clarification of responders to it. Rhabdomyolysis is most certainly not just caused by dehydration. Also you don't "Discipline" babies to young to reason through things. You can show them, and tell them no, but until they can speak freely and reason about why it's wrong, "Discipline" is just abuse. It sounds like abuse anyways given that Rhabdomyolysis was a result. Hope this asshole gets what's coming to him.
He was ultimately convicted and sentenced to between 40 months and 10 years in prison for this crime. Seems unlikely he'll ever be allowed around that child again, even after he's released.
He hit his child so hard that child spent a week in the hospital and he thinks that is entirely warranted and reasonable. This guy is dangerous to society.
Mike said that we may learn something watching his videos. I have learned that I will never, never, never, never attempt to act as my own attorney. I would have ever tried, but now I KNOW not to do it. I love how he admits to a lower charge. Brilliant.
To be fair, the lot of us here would at least not spout total nonsense. We would hang ourselves by not filing correctly or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, lol.
I’m an attorney and I wouldn’t ever represent myself. I hire attorneys who specialize in the subject matter. I work in house in a bank and I wouldn’t dare show up in a courtroom to represent myself.
"Gee it seems like the prosecution always uses what you say against you" Yes. Yes they do. That is quite literally "how it works". That's why the court tells you that anything you say will be used against you.
He beat his child as discipline so badly that the child spent a week in the hospital?!! Then quote the Bible? Let him keep talking, he is gonna get what he deserves PRISON!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
Knows more about medicine than the VA doctors as well. He’s the kind of imbecile who just can’t ever be convinced that he’s wrong about anything, let alone EVERYTHING.
well he thought this "God" fellow was on his side, since he was commanded to beat his under 2 year old in the first place by this "God" person. What a disgusting excuse of a human. Waste of oxygen.
I had a family member who hit their infants. The Bible does not say beat your child especially an infant. "Spare the rod spoil the child" is abused by crazy folks. What does a 23 month old do to be disciplined for?
Right?! The rod is meant to guide, not hit. I believe that came from sheep herders and the rod they used to guide them. They didn't beat the sheep with it lol
@Oona CZT Exactly. I went to a Christian school for a few years. I did enjoy church history. The Bible, to me, must be read and put in context to the time it was written. I believe we are meant to take the teaching moment. Why would Jesus teach the children are a blessing and to beat them? We are to discipline. Discipline means "to teach" not punish. (Thank you Latin teacher. Discipline root... Discipulus - student)
Sticking objects in electrical sockets. That was the one and only time my husband ever gave our son a swat on the butt and put him on his bed. He stopped doing it after that. He's 33 years old and adores his dad.
"I've had bad experience with health care providers..." And apparently with legal authorities. He seems to just have an issue with people telling him what he doesn't want to hear.
In his defense, there are so many awful doctors/surgeons, it’s not even funny. I’ve had to deal with more than you can possibly imagine because I was born with a life-threatening birth defect, and had a lifetime of health problems. I am currently disabled and mostly bedridden with 24/7 chronic pain - it has been as such for 20 years. I am not being facetious at all - it is EXTREMELY rare to find a doctor that is not only good at their job, but actually gives a damn about their patient too. Most just care about the money they’re making.
He wants to be biblical, I feel we should accept that and make sure that he feels an equal punishment - beat him with canes until he can't walk so he understands why he is such a piece of scum.
He ended up representing himself at trial and it went about as well as you'd expect. He received a sentence of 40 months to 10 years in prison. His open admissions to his crimes obviously didn't help.
@@slc1161yes i can totally understand that... I would want to enact some things to them for hurting kids... I wish you the absolute best and I hope you are still working in the medical field because we need wonderful people like yourself! Nurses are the best! ❤️
Disgusting example of a human. Beating a baby until it needs to be hospitalized? Are you kidding me? I hope his fellow inmates in jail serve some "justice" before his next hearing.
@@jerryscray1789 I am beside myself with anger over this behavior. I guarantee it wasn't a "slipper" he used to inflect the injuries. That a$$wipe used a board or his bare hands. He beat this baby like he was in combat. The baby was in the hospital for FIVE DAYS! I had 3-level spinal fusion surgery and got released on the 2nd day! I was in mortal pain and developed pneumonia.
The total lack of concern for this child and lack of awareness of what he has done to this infant is like a neon sign. He is dangerous. There is definitely a personality disorder there.
He's 1000% mentally unstable, he's talking about the bible demanding that we beat children with rods, next he'll tell us that women should be stoned to death. It's bonkers.
Compulsry castration. The ONLY suitable recompense. First Degree child abuse = scum. Get a lawyer, bury your hatred for lawyers. And bow to our religion, not yours.
Put him in jail, until the court case. He does not deserve to be around children. They do not need to be around him. Make your bond $500,000 and set it just so.
"I'm only guilty of 4th degree child abuse." "I promise I'll definitely turn up to court, unless I get confused or something, even though I've failed to show up before." "I only hit him with a slipper." Great defendant. 10/10. Would prosecute again.
Sounds like he said Swiffer duster. They make Swiffer dusters with exchangeable heads. Essentially a handle with two stiff plastic prongs coming out the top that hold the duster head in place. Each prong is about 6 - 8 inches long and about half an inch wide, with about that distance again between the prongs. Yeah, that's definitely not an appropriate way to "discipline" a child.
@@StandardGoose The prosecutor also stated that this beating (the defendant used the word beating to describe what he did that he thought was appropriate) put the child in the hospital for a week. So I think it was more than just a slipper.
@@StandardGoose.... there is precedent...... for older children at school, for instance....... not a toddler and definitely not in a way that could cause kidney damage
He had 2.5 hours of visitation and still beat his 23 month old bad enough to cause rhabdomyolysis. Like that's obviously never okay but he only had 2.5 hours with the kid, that makes it that much worse.
That is a man who simply believes he’s ALWAYS right, everyone else is wrong AND out to get him, he has ZERO concept of the term ‘accountability’, and no matter how many top-notch lawyers point out the 100 mistakes he made here and talked himself right out of any chance of getting out on bond; in his mind he was perfect and the court is punishing him before trial. If there was ever a potato showing the intelligence of potatoes, HE IS 100% IT!! In the words of KS (R.I.P.) - “you can’t make this shit up!” And on the off chance this moron gets to read these comments…. regardless of what you FEEL, you put your 23 month old child in the hospital for ANY reason… you deserve everything the law can throw at you, PLUS whatever they can makeup/invent to make your stay even longer. NO 2 year old requires a “tool” or weapon or ANY DAMN THING in your hand to redirect whatever they’re doing. Hell, if they child is brandishing a knife you wouldn’t need more than your hands. At the VERY worst, it’s a couple of light spanks on his diapered bum, and even that is highly questionable. And if your Bible is teaching you it’s okay to do what you did, then you have NO UNDERSTANDING of the Bible or a single word in it! FFS, put a 23 month old in the hospital…. WTF is wrong with you⁉️ Piss me right TF off! Scumbag. 🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️ Sorry Mike, I kind of ranted out there… having been beaten for the first 14 years of my life by my sick AF alcoholic father; 40 years later these sick f*^ks STILL boil my blood! Great “live” tonight, keep up the awesome job. Cheers. 🤠👍🏼☮️
Why was the name Yahuah taken out of the scriptures over 7000x? It’s simple- so that you wouldn’t know it. For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” Romiyim (Romans) 10:13 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’ Ma`asei (Acts) 2:21 Pour out Your wrath on the nations Who have not known You, And on reigns that have not called on Your Name. Tehillim (Psalms) 79:6 Help us, O Elohim of our deliverance, For the sake of the esteem of Your Name. And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake! Tehillim (Psalms) 79:9 I can keep posting scripture about how Important Yahuah and Yahusha Ha Mashiac name is. you see those who don’t call a this name is cursed, those who call there is salvation and deliverance and blessings. Name in Hebrew is shêm, shame; a primitive word [perhaps rather from H7760 through the idea of definite and conspicuous position; compare H8064]; an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character:-+ base, (in-) fame(-ous), named(-d), renown, report. a name is a Mark, authority, and character of a person. The reason this is important because Yahuahs name encompasses his whole character through the scriptures. And a different name encompasses another character. Another Mark if you will. lord, god and jesus are not innocent translations. in TS 2009 ISR explanatory notes it explains making these changes transgresses the command not to bring Yahuahs name to naught, and not to add to the Word, and not to have another mighty one against Yahuahs face. -the name lord can be traced to the Roman house-diety , and further back to the name of an Etruscan sovereign, Larth. In antiquity sovereigns were -the name god developed from a Germanic god wodenaz-gudenaz-guden-god. -the name jesus can be traced to the diety of healing in Greek culture. iasous a female healing diety. look at the scripture below the Greeks likened there deity’s to the Hebrews when they saw the power at work. And when the crowds saw what Sha’ul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lukaonian, “The mighty ones have become like men and come down to us!” And they called Barnaḇa Zeus, and Sha’ul Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wished to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnaḇa and Sha’ul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out Ma`asei (Acts) 14:11-14 I pray this information helps you as you seek the truth and continue to research these matters.❤🎉
I couldn't agree more with your rant cause you tell it like it is. A couple of light smacks on his diaper is enough and until a child can be reasoned with - approx. age 6, discipline is warranted, not beating with a metal object. This guy is disgusting and shouldn't be left alone with a child at all.
He probably saw a few episodes of better call Saul and other movies where people pull unconventional and often unconstitutional and illegal legal shenanigans and recognized there was some factual legal basis to some of the conversations and the Dunning Krueger effect took hold . He's not the most stupid person I've ever met that has been to jail or even among the most stupid out of jail but in the world of legal jargon and practices and in terms of his own best interest and how to best represent himself he's an imbecile. Many people I've met in jail can't read and they are basically brainless vegetables who operate seemingly on some base level of autopilot. They wouldn't have made it through two sentences let alone ever understood anything the judge said. Lawyers are also great at dumbing it all down for idiots
@@UnchainedAmerica did they sa 23month old baby cause if that the case babies that age can really get into some stuff and I wouldn’t use a something that would bruise a child tho. That’s a little too much
While I agree with your general sentiment, I wouldn't rush to defend the bible's position on child abuse. It supports child sacrifice, celebrates the smashing open of babies' heads on rocks and encourages warlords not to spare infants as the commit genocide.
@@cindybuchanan2218I mean, the Bible says to beat your child with a rod. Maybe it doesn’t say “make sure to bruise them or leave a mark” but it’s kinda hard to BEAT SOMEONE WITH A ROD without doing that.
I laughed at 7:22 when the judge wondered aloud whether “Marvin” Belli is still alive. Melvin Belli died 27 years ago. And Belli wasn’t on OJ’s dream team nor a criminal defense attorney at all. He was mostly a plaintiff’s lawyer in civil cases and earned the nickname “The King of Torts.” I wonder if the judge was thinking of F. Lee Bailey.
This guy simply can't understand how an any attorney, appointed by the court to represent the beater of a 23 month-old child, might have difficulty getting 100% behind him in his defense. He also can't understand that even a half-hearted professional attorney would offer a far more effective defense for him than he can on his own behalf. Or maybe he thinks he can win the court over with eloquence - but eloquent stupidity is still stupidity.
Even if one had knowledge. How would impartiality work?. For instance if there was evidence that needed to be redacted. How could a self represented litigant see this evidence to decide if it should be or should not be redacted since they may or may not be allowed to see this evidence to make this decision in the first place.
Hitting an 23 month old till they bruise has about as much to do with rigteous religious practices as using a hammer to fix a broken china tea cup. The fact baby spent a week in hospital after the fact tells anyone the guy wrnt way overboard. You don't leave bruises when you spank a kid - thats abuse. Spanking is a pop on the butt maybe two - focus the child but not physically hurt them. This guys arrogance is off the charts on many levels!!!
@AnaCara Oh I can’t agree with you on that one. This guy right here is a prime example, when you have a petulant 5 year old like him who needs redirection, I agree with whatever physical contact is necessary! 🤪🤣👍🏼☮️
@AnaCara I can’t agree that spanking a child is wrong bc kids need discipline. The Bible does say “spare the rod spoil the child”. But that doesn’t mean hit so hard you leave bruises and the child ends up in the hospital. I prefer a small smack to the butt if they did something wrong or a slap on the hand if they are getting into something or touching things they shouldn’t.
Not just bruise - this baby was diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis!!!! “Rhabdomyolysis is the death of muscle fibers caused by injury of skeletal muscle and the releasing of the potentially toxic intracellular contents into the bloodstream or the plasma.”😢
I love that judge. She's cordial, straightforward, and strikes a great balance between patiently letting the man have his say while nevertheless making sure the calendar moves along at pace. Well done.
Rhabdomyolysis is bad. That means he beat that poor baby so hard the muscles were breaking down and the kidneys couldn't filter out the breakdown, resulting in dark urine and acute kidney injury! Grrrrr!!!!
Oh that was embarrassingly bad. Mike when you say 'it gets worse' you did not disappoint! The dude's like 'God says thou shalt beat the child with a rod'. Um, I don't think God wants you to hospitalize the kid for nearly a week, my dude.
I was a Jehovahs Witness when my son was born. I was told by my fellow “sisters” to smack my infant son. Funny if I smacked him for crying too much, he just cried more! Who knew? I got out when my sweet baby was 3 yrs old.
The Bible says nothing about beating your child. It says “spare the rod spoil the child” meaning spanking is appropriate but beating is a whole different thing.
Where does God say to beat your child. With a rod. I don’t remember that part of the Bible(s) and/or scripture. Does anyone know the book, chapter, and verse where God commanded to use a rod on your 2 year old?
If I'd been the judge I would have said: "Sir, your arguments against the relative safety of bail were very convincing; I no longer consider bail and pre-trial release to be an option."
Being a parent to a child doesn't give you carte blanche on whatever harshness of punishment you deem necessary. If that punishment is damaging to the child's well-being in any way (physically, emotionally, etc) you have overstepped from appropriate punishment into abuse, and you should be prosecuted and the child protected from you. It's extremely sick that he used religion, fallaciously i might ad to justify his actions. Absolutely disgusting!
He reads the technical description for a bruise, then admits he caused bruising and thinks he made points. He just admitted to the crime because he has a poor vocabulary.
he didnt cause bruising, he caused Rhabdomyoltsis.. he beat the kid so badly, that the muscle was traumatized to the point of just breaking down and flooding the kidneys with protein, you see this a lot with crush injuries, like when you drop a car on someone....
No your honor, I have no issues with self-control, except I cannot stop talking. I was sent to be treated for a mouth that would not stop moving. The transcript will be a gold mine for the prosecution.
This was the judge’s first day back in the office and she got THIS CASE 😭 I hope this guy rots in jail and never sees his kid again, spanking is one thing but he beat this child to the point of hospitalization and has 0 remorse. I hope the judicial system will be nothing but exacting with him.
The kid was likely severely beaten: Rhabdomyolysis (often called rhabdo) is a serious medical condition that can be fatal or result in permanent disability. Rhabdo occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins and electrolytes into the blood. These substances can damage the heart and kidneys and cause permanent disability or even death.
Pretty sure jurors are not ALLOWED by the court to be on their phones during court. Someone who had jury duty recently tell me please. Are you even allowed to HAVE your phone?
@@fredfinger7092 From MY knowledge Jurors are told the rules of the Court and possible punishment if they are not followed, sleeping would be a big problem, I believe they are not allowed to have a Cell with them in Court.
My jaw totally dropped when I heard the child was not even 2 years old. Bad enough I thought it was 10 years old or so. That would be horrible. But putting a 23 month old in the hospital for two weeks?
@oldcat He's facing a life term. He's going to make every juror hate him in ways he obviously can't possibly imagine. And prisoners absolutely love child abusers. He's looking at a very short remainder of breathing privileges
He hould be facing a bullet given how badly he hurt that child.. the kid had Rhabdomyolysis, meaning he beat him bad enough that the muscle was traumatized so badly it broke down and flooded his kidneys with excess protein, leading to kidney failure, very common in crush injuries... like when a car is dropped on someone.. that is how badly this man beat that child.
Thinking he can use the excuse of “my Bible told me to” would mean he thinks he can get away with even worse than beating a child to the extent of prolonged hospitalisation. I’d leave him locked up until he at least thinks otherwise.
Before anyone thanks this guy for his service it might be a good idea to find out how he behaved while in service. Criminals come in all kinds of variations.
@@nutmeg5 They can get his DD-2 (military records) with a FOIA request. Besides, just because he went over to Afghanistan (or Iraq) doesn’t necessarily mean he saw any action. 😊
The most you do is maybe swat their hands if they reach for something dangerous like a hot pan or an electric item. Never hit them and never ever ever spank them when you’re mad at them or because you are mad at them.
If you read the whole Bible, and the part you take away is that you're under strict orders to beat children with rods, you might have missed something.
The bible mentions 4 legged insects, unicorns, and giants. Why would a god think bats are birds, or that beating slaves and children is acceptible? 50 scrolls written by unknown bronze age cavemen are not worth reading.
The way he openly wants to talk about "his god" demanding he beat a 2 year old with a stick...he needs to have a psychological exam. He's not even registering the nature of what he's saying.
Your statement implies that he has a history of beating his child. No such charges or argument suggesting this incident was repetitive behavior. I’d like to see the medical report. Im not for abusing children; however, he has the right, within confines of the law which he recited, to engage in corporal punishment. He sounds like a lousy father with many issues, like so many of our veterans. He seemed like he was being honest; but that’s not rewarded in our justice system.
@@rainmakerjim I appreciate your take on the matter. And I thank you for replying with respect even though our opinions differ some. Healthy debate on important issues is not very popular these days. I understand what you are saying about corporal punishment. My expertise is in psychology. Specializing in children. I was a victim of horrific childhood abuse of different kinds so I have very little patience with using pain as a teaching tool. Society has gone over-board however, on raising entitled children. I was raised differently and for conversation sake I will assume you were to. We should not have taken God out of schools. And teachers have no business teaching our children about the ridiculous woke-lunacy with regard to gender equality. You could make the argument that kids were in a much better place when corporal punishment was the only questionable issue in how to teach our children right from wrong. I would say it is possible to raise well rounded, respectful children without ever raising a hand to them. I have proof in my four boys. Again, I do respect your view. And I wish you and yours all the good the world has to offer. Godspeed.
@@TRUMP-ki9vn You are so right about the need for meaningful dialogue seemingly a thing of the past. I suspect we are close in age. My parents believed in highly selective corporal punishment. In fact I remember the only 2 spankings I ever received. I raised my kids the same way. I delivered only 3 such punishments, and they tore through my sole. Yet like the 2 of such punishments (and they were both pull your pants down and get a couple of smacks, bare hand to bottom), I deserved them as the things I did put my father in a great deal of stress). My conclusion now looking back at the 2 I received, and 3 I delivered (to separate children); is they were about stress from fear that what I had done put my life in danger, and my father was reacting to his fear of loss. My experience as the deliverer were more from anger from disrespect. My children were so much more disrespectful than me or my siblings ever were. There were no switched, belts, or other tools involved in any of the exchanges. I’m very patient, and my children at separate times pushed me to my limits. Interestingly, my wife at the time did alot more spanking than I did and my girls carried resentment toward her well into their late 20’s. With the benefit of wisdom, i think corporal punishment of children produced mixed results. My daughters do not spank their children at all. I think we as a society are outgrowing spanking of children, but without proper education of alternative parenting strategies. It seems like the guy in this case probably thinks taking a switch (Swiffer handle) is an appropriate way to discipline his 2 year old. It chilling to think, but there are many in our society who still believe in such practices. So the cycle of violence continues. I actually agree more with you, and my prior comments were as much of a reaction to what I perceived as unfair treatment in the court. Some of Mike’s comments got under my skin as well. I’m a Constitutionalist. Our rights are under major assault, and when I see people making light of that…. I think you understand. Thanks again for your thoughtful response.
@@rainmakerjim Corporal punishment is fine when needed but it should be age appropriate and appropriate for the situation. It's about correction for the benefit of the child not harming them or putting them into the hospital. Nothing good can come of beating a child that young that way.. or a child of any age really.
My mouth literally fell open when he started with the Bible justification for hitting a child with a Swiffer implement! Did the prosecutor say that the child was in the hospital for a week? Unfrigginbelievable!! I truly hope he continued pro se, and talked his way right into a jail cell!
It is almost clickbait when Mike has "Yes, it gets worse" in the thumbnail. But he speaks the truth when he says it! Whenever I am feeling down, I watch one of these videos knowing somewhere, it is worse...
Well, a creative beginning…he made an admission right off the top to a degree of child abuse. OMG he had an itchy infection on a body part rubbing against itself. Yuck. TMI. Judge is directing him to help himself, but is not going well to this point….getting worse….omg, child is less than 2 yrs old!!
He beat a 23 month old with a Swiffer? Put me in a locked room with him for 5 minutes. He’ll be operating his wheelchair with a blow tube and won’t be a danger to anyone.
Absolutely deplorable…. who in the WORLD disciplines a 23 month old to the point they are HOSPITALIZED?!? This disgusting POS. He is lucky they are ok at all, poor thing 💔 He wants to be his own lawyer but doesn’t know the basics like what you say will be held against you in a court of law!? And oh yes he is a clear narcissist here, he is basically just talking to hear his own voice in some of this!
Also bruising/bruises are called hematomas and he read that off in court saying that doesn’t apply. He doesn’t know the terminology so how would he know!?
It took me way too long of searching but he represented himself in his own jury trail and they found him guilty of 2nd degree abuse He is awaiting sentencing in january i believe Even his preacher appeared to testify against him for being way too literal about scripture (ya think)
I am SO GLAD he's making so easy to convict him of child abuse and keep him away from this child FOREVER. 😡
Agreed!!!!!!!
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!
Horrifying to hear someone try to justify thenselves beating a 2 year old. Just awful, poor kid.

It has absolutely nothing to do with poor hydration. That child was injured seriously in order to develop that condition. It infurates me that he has the gall to make statements like this.
Well, it’s the concentration that causes the problem, so both the amount of broken muscle cells and the amount of hydration are important. There are always muscle cells breaking down, but that doesn’t usually cause problems, as the concentration in the blood is very low. If a bunch of muscle cells are all broken at once, it becomes difficult for the body to dilute them out fast enough.
It has to be severe muscle damage to cause rhabdomyolysis. In addition to what you said, it creates clotting throughout the body because those large particles can’t get through tiny vessels. All of the clotting factors can be used up on these clots leading to disseminated intravascular clotting (DIC) and leading to bleeding/hemorrhaging which is often fatal.
It can also be caused by non-movement, such as someone who has fallen and cannot get up and lays in one position for hours.
So horrifying. Thank you all for the explaining what this condition is.
Thanks for this comment and the clarification of responders to it. Rhabdomyolysis is most certainly not just caused by dehydration. Also you don't "Discipline" babies to young to reason through things. You can show them, and tell them no, but until they can speak freely and reason about why it's wrong, "Discipline" is just abuse. It sounds like abuse anyways given that Rhabdomyolysis was a result. Hope this asshole gets what's coming to him.

@@philipem1000 Facts.
I had a family member who hit their infants. The Bible does not say beat your child especially an infant. "Spare the rod spoil the child" is abused by crazy folks. What does a 23 month old do to be disciplined for?
Right?! The rod is meant to guide, not hit. I believe that came from sheep herders and the rod they used to guide them. They didn't beat the sheep with it lol
@Oona CZT Exactly. I went to a Christian school for a few years. I did enjoy church history. The Bible, to me, must be read and put in context to the time it was written. I believe we are meant to take the teaching moment. Why would Jesus teach the children are a blessing and to beat them? We are to discipline. Discipline means "to teach" not punish. (Thank you Latin teacher. Discipline root... Discipulus - student)
"Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them."
@@Cumdown I raised my children with discipline, very few swats. God would not approve hitting an infant.
Sticking objects in electrical sockets. That was the one and only time my husband ever gave our son a swat on the butt and put him on his bed. He stopped doing it after that. He's 33 years old and adores his dad.
"I've had bad experience with health care providers..." And apparently with legal authorities. He seems to just have an issue with people telling him what he doesn't want to hear.
In his defense, there are so many awful doctors/surgeons, it’s not even funny. I’ve had to deal with more than you can possibly imagine because I was born with a life-threatening birth defect, and had a lifetime of health problems. I am currently disabled and mostly bedridden with 24/7 chronic pain - it has been as such for 20 years. I am not being facetious at all - it is EXTREMELY rare to find a doctor that is not only good at their job, but actually gives a damn about their patient too. Most just care about the money they’re making.
Whenever they say respectfully, they mean no respect at all.
Ever!
Who knows how many times in the past he has punished this baby , he truly is a danger to the child, he has no remorse 😔
Rhabdomyolysis- look it up. He beat that kiddo badly. Stay Pro Se and preach your righteousness in prison.
He wants to be biblical, I feel we should accept that and make sure that he feels an equal punishment - beat him with canes until he can't walk so he understands why he is such a piece of scum.
Yes. Please do😮
He ended up representing himself at trial and it went about as well as you'd expect. He received a sentence of 40 months to 10 years in prison. His open admissions to his crimes obviously didn't help.
He is disciplining a 23-month-old baby. He is crazy. A baby in the hospital for a week means something.
I noticed that too. Not even two years old and he's hitting the kid. What a monster.

Compulsry castration. The ONLY suitable recompense. First Degree child abuse = scum. Get a lawyer, bury your hatred for lawyers. And bow to our religion, not yours.
Put him in jail, until the court case. He does not deserve to be around children. They do not need to be around him. Make your bond $500,000 and set it just so.

"I'm only guilty of 4th degree child abuse."
"I promise I'll definitely turn up to court, unless I get confused or something, even though I've failed to show up before."
"I only hit him with a slipper."
Great defendant. 10/10. Would prosecute again.
Sounds like he said Swiffer duster. They make Swiffer dusters with exchangeable heads. Essentially a handle with two stiff plastic prongs coming out the top that hold the duster head in place. Each prong is about 6 - 8 inches long and about half an inch wide, with about that distance again between the prongs. Yeah, that's definitely not an appropriate way to "discipline" a child.
@@Vykk_Draygo Could be. Sounded like 'slipper' to me. There's a lot of cultural precedent for hitting a child with a slipper. Still not cool though.
@@StandardGoose The prosecutor also stated that this beating (the defendant used the word beating to describe what he did that he thought was appropriate) put the child in the hospital for a week. So I think it was more than just a slipper.
@@StandardGoose.... there is precedent...... for older children at school, for instance....... not a toddler and definitely not in a way that could cause kidney damage
He had 2.5 hours of visitation and still beat his 23 month old bad enough to cause rhabdomyolysis. Like that's obviously never okay but he only had 2.5 hours with the kid, that makes it that much worse.
He’s a man of efficiency. Beats his child in 2.5 hours, confesses in court in even less time.
Must be previous bad acts.
There’s NO reason or excuse EVER to hit an infant with ANYTHING.
Watching Mike hold his head in his hands while this guy talks about "spare the rod spoil the child" is all you need to know about this case 😂😂
A lot of word salad to say, "the whole judicial system is mean to me."
“I have a few blemishes”. Bold choice of words for a guy who medical records suggest injured his child.
Mike, please keep us in the loop on this one. I hope and my heart believes a jury keep this F away from this poor child for a long long time.
It's so nice of this man to volunteer for his life sentence.
That is a man who simply believes he’s ALWAYS right, everyone else is wrong AND out to get him, he has ZERO concept of the term ‘accountability’, and no matter how many top-notch lawyers point out the 100 mistakes he made here and talked himself right out of any chance of getting out on bond; in his mind he was perfect and the court is punishing him before trial. If there was ever a potato showing the intelligence of potatoes, HE IS 100% IT!! In the words of KS (R.I.P.) - “you can’t make this shit up!”
And on the off chance this moron gets to read these comments…. regardless of what you FEEL, you put your 23 month old child in the hospital for ANY reason… you deserve everything the law can throw at you, PLUS whatever they can makeup/invent to make your stay even longer. NO 2 year old requires a “tool” or weapon or ANY DAMN THING in your hand to redirect whatever they’re doing. Hell, if they child is brandishing a knife you wouldn’t need more than your hands. At the VERY worst, it’s a couple of light spanks on his diapered bum, and even that is highly questionable. And if your Bible is teaching you it’s okay to do what you did, then you have NO UNDERSTANDING of the Bible or a single word in it! FFS, put a 23 month old in the hospital…. WTF is wrong with you⁉️ Piss me right TF off! Scumbag. 🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️

Absolutely. He’s a real fart sniffer.
Why was the name Yahuah taken out of the scriptures over 7000x?
It’s simple- so that you wouldn’t know it.
For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.”
Romiyim (Romans) 10:13
‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’
Ma`asei (Acts) 2:21
Pour out Your wrath on the nations Who have not known You, And on reigns that have not called on Your Name.
Tehillim (Psalms) 79:6
Help us, O Elohim of our deliverance, For the sake of the esteem of Your Name. And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake!
Tehillim (Psalms) 79:9
I can keep posting scripture about how Important Yahuah and Yahusha Ha Mashiac name is. you see those who don’t call a this name is cursed, those who call there is salvation and deliverance and blessings.
Name in Hebrew is
shêm, shame; a primitive word [perhaps rather from H7760 through the idea of definite and conspicuous position; compare H8064]; an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character:-+ base, (in-) fame(-ous), named(-d), renown, report.
a name is a Mark, authority, and character of a person. The reason this is important because Yahuahs name encompasses his whole character through the scriptures. And a different name encompasses another character. Another Mark if you will.
lord, god and jesus are not innocent translations.
in TS 2009 ISR explanatory notes it explains
making these changes transgresses the command not to bring Yahuahs name to naught, and not to add to the Word, and not to have another mighty one against Yahuahs face.
-the name lord can be traced to the Roman house-diety , and further back to the name of an Etruscan sovereign, Larth. In antiquity sovereigns were
-the name god developed from a Germanic god wodenaz-gudenaz-guden-god.
-the name jesus can be traced to the diety of healing in Greek culture. iasous a female healing diety.
look at the scripture below the Greeks likened there deity’s to the Hebrews when they saw the power at work.
And when the crowds saw what Sha’ul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lukaonian, “The mighty ones have become like men and come down to us!” And they called Barnaḇa Zeus, and Sha’ul Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wished to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnaḇa and Sha’ul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out

I couldn't agree more with your rant cause you tell it like it is.

I laughed at 7:22 when the judge wondered aloud whether “Marvin” Belli is still alive. Melvin Belli died 27 years ago. And Belli wasn’t on OJ’s dream team nor a criminal defense attorney at all. He was mostly a plaintiff’s lawyer in civil cases and earned the nickname “The King of Torts.” I wonder if the judge was thinking of F. Lee Bailey.
Could be. Both were active during the same years, but are very different.
"I don't mean to seem like a fool, but I will continue to blabber and confirm that assumption. For the record."
This guy simply can't understand how an any attorney, appointed by the court to represent the beater of a 23 month-old child, might have difficulty getting 100% behind him in his defense. He also can't understand that even a half-hearted professional attorney would offer a far more effective defense for him than he can on his own behalf. Or maybe he thinks he can win the court over with eloquence - but eloquent stupidity is still stupidity.

I’m a civil lawyer and would never represent myself in a criminal case. Blows my mind that a complete layperson with 0 knowledge would do that.
Even if one had knowledge. How would impartiality work?. For instance if there was evidence that needed to be redacted. How could a self represented litigant see this evidence to decide if it should be or should not be redacted since they may or may not be allowed to see this evidence to make this decision in the first place.
That’s because he’s a layman with zero knowledge!
True. I have several lawyers in the family, lucky me,🥴and none of them do criminal law, nor would they ever wing it.
Hitting an 23 month old till they bruise has about as much to do with rigteous religious practices as using a hammer to fix a broken china tea cup. The fact baby spent a week in hospital after the fact tells anyone the guy wrnt way overboard. You don't leave bruises when you spank a kid - thats abuse. Spanking is a pop on the butt maybe two - focus the child but not physically hurt them. This guys arrogance is off the charts on many levels!!!
Completely disgusting. And to use religion as a defense is absurd
@AnaCara Oh I can’t agree with you on that one. This guy right here is a prime example, when you have a petulant 5 year old like him who needs redirection, I agree with whatever physical contact is necessary! 🤪🤣👍🏼☮️
That is a fantastic comment - your hammer & tea cup analogy was (pardon the English pun), SPOT ON! 👏🏼😃
@AnaCara I can’t agree that spanking a child is wrong bc kids need discipline. The Bible does say “spare the rod spoil the child”. But that doesn’t mean hit so hard you leave bruises and the child ends up in the hospital. I prefer a small smack to the butt if they did something wrong or a slap on the hand if they are getting into something or touching things they shouldn’t.
Not just bruise - this baby was diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis!!!!
“Rhabdomyolysis is the death of muscle fibers caused by injury of skeletal muscle and the releasing of the potentially toxic intracellular contents into the bloodstream or the plasma.”😢
He loves to hear himself talk and talk and talk.
I hope you cover his trial, Mike..
...It should only take a minute
He would have done better if he'd let the goat speak for him.
I hoped he covered it as well, but I cannot find a continuation on it sadly.
I love that judge. She's cordial, straightforward, and strikes a great balance between patiently letting the man have his say while nevertheless making sure the calendar moves along at pace. Well done.
Rhabdomyolysis is bad. That means he beat that poor baby so hard the muscles were breaking down and the kidneys couldn't filter out the breakdown, resulting in dark urine and acute kidney injury! Grrrrr!!!!
My son is almost that age. That's devastating. That's such a betrayal to the poor little baby. I hate people sometimes.
Me too.
Oh that was embarrassingly bad. Mike when you say 'it gets worse' you did not disappoint!
The dude's like 'God says thou shalt beat the child with a rod'. Um, I don't think God wants you to hospitalize the kid for nearly a week, my dude.
Especially when it's not a kid..it's a BABY.😡
The prisons are full of kids who were raised with logic and unconditional love, not ones that were beaten, right?
I was a Jehovahs Witness when my son was born. I was told by my fellow “sisters” to smack my infant son. Funny if I smacked him for crying too much, he just cried more! Who knew? I got out when my sweet baby was 3 yrs old.
The Bible says nothing about beating your child. It says “spare the rod spoil the child” meaning spanking is appropriate but beating is a whole different thing.
Where does God say to beat your child. With a rod. I don’t remember that part of the Bible(s) and/or scripture. Does anyone know the book, chapter, and verse where God commanded to use a rod on your 2 year old?
I agree with his statements on the bond. He should not be given bond and await for trial in jail, that would better protects the community .
If I'd been the judge I would have said: "Sir, your arguments against the relative safety of bail were very convincing; I no longer consider bail and pre-trial release to be an option."
Child abuse of any level is first degree.
Being a parent to a child doesn't give you carte blanche on whatever harshness of punishment you deem necessary. If that punishment is damaging to the child's well-being in any way (physically, emotionally, etc) you have overstepped from appropriate punishment into abuse, and you should be prosecuted and the child protected from you.
It's extremely sick that he used religion, fallaciously i might ad to justify his actions. Absolutely disgusting!
He reads the technical description for a bruise, then admits he caused bruising and thinks he made points.
He just admitted to the crime because he has a poor vocabulary.

Every time I hear someone say, "I always show up to my court dates" astounds me. Like, this is normal for you?
This was the judge’s first day back in the office and she got THIS CASE 😭 I hope this guy rots in jail and never sees his kid again, spanking is one thing but he beat this child to the point of hospitalization and has 0 remorse. I hope the judicial system will be nothing but exacting with him.
The kid was likely severely beaten:
Rhabdomyolysis (often called rhabdo) is a serious medical condition that can be fatal or result in permanent disability. Rhabdo occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins and electrolytes into the blood. These substances can damage the heart and kidneys and cause permanent disability or even death.
He’s bringing religion into this. Yet another example of the vital importance of separation of church and state.
Especially since he’s based his decision to abuse his baby with that religion.

He hould be facing a bullet given how badly he hurt that child.. the kid had Rhabdomyolysis, meaning he beat him bad enough that the muscle was traumatized so badly it broke down and flooded his kidneys with excess protein, leading to kidney failure, very common in crush injuries... like when a car is dropped on someone.. that is how badly this man beat that child.

He beat a 23 MONTH old child with a Swiffer??? WTH is wrong with this man??? He should go to jail for life!!!
He states no problems with substance-abuse because he’s got self-control.. which would mean he beat this baby while in total control.
Thinking he can use the excuse of “my Bible told me to” would mean he thinks he can get away with even worse than beating a child to the extent of prolonged hospitalisation. I’d leave him locked up until he at least thinks otherwise.

If you read the whole Bible, and the part you take away is that you're under strict orders to beat children with rods, you might have missed something.
The bible mentions 4 legged insects, unicorns, and giants. Why would a god think bats are birds, or that beating slaves and children is acceptible? 50 scrolls written by unknown bronze age cavemen are not worth reading.

This man is a smug, narcissist using the word of God to commit abuse on a precious child. Good stuff Mike.
Your statement implies that he has a history of beating his child. No such charges or argument suggesting this incident was repetitive behavior. I’d like to see the medical report. Im not for abusing children; however, he has the right, within confines of the law which he recited, to engage in corporal punishment. He sounds like a lousy father with many issues, like so many of our veterans. He seemed like he was being honest; but that’s not rewarded in our justice system.
@@rainmakerjim I appreciate your take on the matter. And I thank you for replying with respect even though our opinions differ some. Healthy debate on important issues is not very popular these days. I understand what you are saying about corporal punishment. My expertise is in psychology. Specializing in children. I was a victim of horrific childhood abuse of different kinds so I have very little patience with using pain as a teaching tool. Society has gone over-board however, on raising entitled children. I was raised differently and for conversation sake I will assume you were to. We should not have taken God out of schools. And teachers have no business teaching our children about the ridiculous woke-lunacy with regard to gender equality. You could make the argument that kids were in a much better place when corporal punishment was the only questionable issue in how to teach our children right from wrong. I would say it is possible to raise well rounded, respectful children without ever raising a hand to them. I have proof in my four boys. Again, I do respect your view. And I wish you and yours all the good the world has to offer. Godspeed.
@@TRUMP-ki9vn You are so right about the need for meaningful dialogue seemingly a thing of the past. I suspect we are close in age. My parents believed in highly selective corporal punishment. In fact I remember the only 2 spankings I ever received. I raised my kids the same way. I delivered only 3 such punishments, and they tore through my sole. Yet like the 2 of such punishments (and they were both pull your pants down and get a couple of smacks, bare hand to bottom), I deserved them as the things I did put my father in a great deal of stress). My conclusion now looking back at the 2 I received, and 3 I delivered (to separate children); is they were about stress from fear that what I had done put my life in danger, and my father was reacting to his fear of loss. My experience as the deliverer were more from anger from disrespect. My children were so much more disrespectful than me or my siblings ever were. There were no switched, belts, or other tools involved in any of the exchanges.
I’m very patient, and my children at separate times pushed me to my limits. Interestingly, my wife at the time did alot more spanking than I did and my girls carried resentment toward her well into their late 20’s. With the benefit of wisdom, i think corporal punishment of children produced mixed results. My daughters do not spank their children at all. I think we as a society are outgrowing spanking of children, but without proper education of alternative parenting strategies.
It seems like the guy in this case probably thinks taking a switch (Swiffer handle) is an appropriate way to discipline his 2 year old. It chilling to think, but there are many in our society who still believe in such practices. So the cycle of violence continues. I actually agree more with you, and my prior comments were as much of a reaction to what I perceived as unfair treatment in the court. Some of Mike’s comments got under my skin as well. I’m a Constitutionalist. Our rights are under major assault, and when I see people making light of that…. I think you understand. Thanks again for your thoughtful response.
This thread was refreshing to read. Thank you both. 😊
@@rainmakerjim Corporal punishment is fine when needed but it should be age appropriate and appropriate for the situation. It's about correction for the benefit of the child not harming them or putting them into the hospital. Nothing good can come of beating a child that young that way.. or a child of any age really.
My mouth literally fell open when he started with the Bible justification for hitting a child with a Swiffer implement!
Did the prosecutor say that the child was in the hospital for a week? Unfrigginbelievable!! I truly hope he continued pro se, and talked his way right into a jail cell!
It is almost clickbait when Mike has "Yes, it gets worse" in the thumbnail. But he speaks the truth when he says it! Whenever I am feeling down, I watch one of these videos knowing somewhere, it is worse...
"Your Honor, may I just say that I beat the child because God told me to do so?"
I’ve heard this BS before.
I’m sure the other inmates will take that into consideration before they beat the snot out of him.
Well, a creative beginning…he made an admission right off the top to a degree of child abuse. OMG he had an itchy infection on a body part rubbing against itself. Yuck. TMI. Judge is directing him to help himself, but is not going well to this point….getting worse….omg, child is less than 2 yrs old!!
so glad he went pro se!
Sovcits always say that they are "peaceful". Annoyingly peaceful passive aggressiveness.
He beat a 23 month old with a Swiffer? Put me in a locked room with him for 5 minutes. He’ll be operating his wheelchair with a blow tube and won’t be a danger to anyone.
Absolutely deplorable…. who in the WORLD disciplines a 23 month old to the point they are HOSPITALIZED?!? This disgusting POS. He is lucky they are ok at all, poor thing 💔 He wants to be his own lawyer but doesn’t know the basics like what you say will be held against you in a court of law!? And oh yes he is a clear narcissist here, he is basically just talking to hear his own voice in some of this!
Also bruising/bruises are called hematomas and he read that off in court saying that doesn’t apply. He doesn’t know the terminology so how would he know!?
Classic victim/narcissist
It took me way too long of searching but he represented himself in his own jury trail and they found him guilty of 2nd degree abuse
He is awaiting sentencing in january i believe
Even his preacher appeared to testify against him for being way too literal about scripture (ya think)
Can I have a source? I wanna see
New T-shirt: "I don't have issues with self-control." OMG, what???
Because I just do whatever God tells me to.
