  • this is gay in so many way!!!!!!!

  • I am paler then an English person and I can not even get burned in an hour and a half.

  • Shit - my dad could have been charged with criminal abuse because I wouldn't come in from swimming when I was 7?

    Hell, I would never get over the guilt of doing that to my dad. Fucking government.

  • Something tells me that the parents are divorced or maybe never got married or whatever. So either way she'll do anything to fuck him over and she found her opportunity. In my opinion

  • The mother called the police so she can get money.

  • If my parents went to jail for every time I got sunburned they would end up on death row.

  • if you press control w it will go to a better video or skip the advertisment

  • HAHA thats just sick.. wtf !

  • ouch... that looks so painful, but arresting the dad? that's a bit of a stretch.

  • @YoshiVerySmexyJK oh my God, i cant believe she fed her kids that...its reminds me of the time that one guy got jailed for cutting his grass while his kids just sat inside watching tv...what kind of world do we live in these days...

  • THAT guy was 27?

  • I had blisters like that one time. but i was 8. But that really is stupid.

  • he's turning red call swat!

  • the poor boy though. i mean 3rd degree burns on a two year old that is horrible...stupid ass inbred father.

  • Umm.. he looks like an inbred hick, it's not his fault.

  • WHAT KIND OF STUPID AND NONSENSE LAW IS THAT!

    getting jailed

    just becos of a small mistake

    WELL Y DONT THEY JAIL ME THEN!

    SINCE I MADE LIKE A MILLIONS OF MISTAKE ALREADY!

    NO I SHOULD DESERVE A DEATH SENTENCE!

  • Oh, I see, so now good parents can go to jail for forgetting some sunblock? All parents can make some better judgement errors, even really loving parents. i will say this though; the father should've been making periodic checks on the child. She should pay particular attention to a child's skin. If he forgot to put on sunblock and the child's skin is getting red, he should've goten the child indoors to cool off.

  • WOW he made an honest mistake.........or maybe if that bitch ass wife of his hadn't taken all his money he could of afforded sunscreen....this is bull shit give him his kid back wow

  • if he was outside with the kid then give the guy a break

  • What the fuck?!?!?!

  • i get terrible sunburn and it hurts but after a couple of hours it turns into a tan then i go out again and dont burn think maybe i got use to it ????????

  • @brittanysheetz maybe the mother put him back out in the sun and didnt want to get in trouble so blamed dad or maybe before the dad had him she had hiim out in the son its not like he smeared butter on the kid. and sent him outside my god

  • actually a doctor told me that putting sunscreen on all the time is not good were not getting vit d and were not getting use to the sun i guess we all put our children in little bubbles.

  • Sounds like a nasty custody battle. I'd bet the mother pushed those charges.

  • @missusmadness i wouldnt doubt that

  • Jail? Fucking US justice system, mother busted Dad, he's only human.

    The anti-male divorce system is fucked.

  • if the boy was outside he was outside he should know when he has a sunburn god that boy a dumb ass..

  • @strpurekill0 and it also states the child was 2..I dont think he even knew what a burn was...this is a case where the parents are divorced/ split and the mother is trying to dirt bury the dad..end of story ..child abuse my ass

  • I'm not versed in Kentucky law, but I believe there is a level intent for an abuse charge. He has to intend to cause harm. They could pursue a neglect charge, but that is completely different and his right against double jeopardy may have already kicked in by the time the arrest was made.

  • Wow, this is getting ridiculous...

  • that f**ked up i have kids and sometime i forget to bring sunblock to the park it could happen to anyone how sad

  • Oh that is ridiculous. My kids go outside without sun screen all the time. Sunburn can take along time to show up after coming in from outside. Stupid.

  • I worked in a burn unit for 27 years and kids got sun burned all the time ,,and never one time did mom or dad get put in jail WTF the cops must have nothing better to do with there time in that county,,

  • that's pathetic that he got in trouble for that, he's a 27 year old dad he's not a pediatrician..

  • All do the boy a favor and grant his father NO CHILD CUSTODY.

    Damn hillbilly. how can you be that stupid?

  • The govt will put you in jail for some stupid stuff....if you stand by and let them do it. What is going on in the USA? In jail for debt , sunburns....are you all OK with this?

    Its easy to hate on this dad, but should he go to jail? Its not even funny and a bit scary how long the arm of the law is getting anymore.

  • wow such idiots who cares thats nuthin juss take the pain for like a week and then ur gonna start sheding and peel it off and nobody had to go to jail

  • wow

  • I swear, our country is getting stupider and stupider

  • Yeah the guy should get smacked upside the back of his head for being an idiot and not putting sunscreen on his kid but jail time? Ok I am 25 yr old father of 2 kids and yeah I have forgotten sunscreen sometimes certainly not to this extent but come on. I think they are over reacting yeah give him a stern warning and as long as there is no other form of abuse just dismiss it as the guy made a bad judgement call. Playing outside with his kid WHAT AN ASS. LMAO get a grip people.

  • In jail over a sunburn? EVERY kid gets at least one extreme sunburn in their lifetime. Has any other parent ever gotten in trouble over a sunburn before this? This is crazy! It was less than 2 hours in the sun! How can you put someone in jail for letting a kid play outside?

  • *sighs*..........and this will inevitably lead to the discrediting of actual child abuse cases.

    Just let the dad go, for God's sakes. Geez!

  • I had a really bad sunburn when I was a kid, sure I wasn't two, but it happens. Put some aloe vera on it and don't let it happen again. Throwing a guy in jail and making this child's life even worse because the father can't earn a living and support him is an injustice in itself. Let this dad off the hook, all parents make mistakes.

  • Playing outside with his kid? Oh no, what a monster! Seriously, we've all made mistakes - so he forgot to put lotion on his kid, big deal! Haven't the police got anything better to do?

  • ITS FUCKING SUNBURN. Its not like he kicked the shit outta his son... :x

  • -.-; Why cant the people who claim to be looking out for children do their jobs for real... Many friends of mine, even my sister in law was wrongly accused of abusing her child, but the child had a serious skin issue being treated by doctors... On top of that I know more friends and family members who been abused in some horrible way growing up and no one did anything for them. This is just upsetting seeing on the news -.-;

  • bullshit

  • this is bang out of order first of all you can't see sunburn while its happening, you can't really feel it while its happening and as the palest white red headed irish person i've had burns similar to that in less then 20 minits in the sun

  • Honestly, this wouldn't have happened if the kid was black.

  • omg... abuse??? he got sun burned... boohoo... get some aloe and bengay

  • lol this is stupid

  • Oh jeez...

  • I'm not gonna say that this child's sunburn wasn't a big deal...3rd degree burns are very serious. But 90 minutes really isn't THAT long, I might have made the same mistake. Sunburns have a way of not showing until AFTER you're already inside. But my main issue is, there are so many kids who are actually ABUSED in this country, seems like the social services have other stuff to worry about.

  • all of these social services and other dicks are nothing but a bunch of dorks that got picked on in school and they just grow up to be fucking assholes so fuck you all.

  • I got sunburn on my back...DYPHUS?!

  • HURR ONLY IN AMERICA

  • WOW, I had no idea that could happen.

  • Only in America. -.-

  • OOOO!!! A kid gets a sunburn, let's lock up the dad while millions of other little kids are getting RAPED by their fathers! While that's happening, these dumbasses are arrested a dad because his kid got a SUNBURN?!

  • @LumpyPotatoes1 yes and if a kid is on certain medicine they can burn faster and maybe the dad didnt know about the medicine your right kids getting molested every day by by parents but lets put someone in jail for sunburn abuse lol

  • God dammit, thats so stupid! it's just a god-damned burn! its not like he BURT his son ON PERPOSE with a...oh, say, a IRON.

  • thats really retarded just a frickin sun burn

  • This isn't abuse it is a mistake sure it's bad, but not abuse abuse is tying youre kid to a ladder pouring wax down their back and beating with a belt the father should've just had to be told you know don't let the kid out there without sunscreen and if he does get burned put aloe on it isnt abuse you people are morons if you think its abuse its incomptence would you shut your faces now

  • wow. this is definatly an over reaction

  • this is an overreaction. he's a young father. he's not a criminal, he's an idiot.

  • What a stinkin cunt. If that was the woman who made the mistake, nothing would have been done to her.

  • @diamonddust22 Yeah I'm surprised they didnt slap a domestic abuse charge or some shit on him too. Shit is crazy nowadays.

  • poor guy and Child, it was probably an accident. who knows if he did put sun screen on him and just waited to long to put it on him again ot didnt cover his whold body. and like others have said that the results usally show up after hrs of being inside. i know that i have gotten sun burned and not noticed it till after i went to bed.

  • He made a mistake...for sure. Not anything more than that. Oh..and a wife who he's likely separated from who wishes to use her son as a pawn. Just a wild guess.

    The burn results usually show up in the hours after exposure.

  • Put some damn Aloe lotion on. That's what I do. This country looks at any little thing just to arrest people. The United States has officially gone crazy. Sunburns heals and the child learned a valuable lesson - Don't play in the sun too long if you don't have sunblock available.

  • WOW. What has society come to? I think I'd rather have my son playing outside than watching elmo inside. So he got sunburn? Big deal.

  • its a sun burn. its not like he ment to burn his child....

  • Sounds like a forgivable mistake to me.

  • There should be a combined IQ and common sense test that one must pass before being able to have children.

  • I heard quite a lot about shit happening with the American law lately...

    First off - The 12 year old girl who got HANDCUFFED AND ARRESTED for simply doodling on her desk at school?

    And now this... I like America as a place, but by GOD something has to be done about the laws, seriously! I thought the laws in the UK were pathetic... This shit is just unthinkable.

  • I have to agree, sunburns happen all the time, I guess it was a slow day for the cops...

  • does the law not have anything better to do like go after rapists or murders instead of sunburned kids

  • It's about neglect you dumb fucks.

  • @TheHitchcockFamily

    in the video they said that the father was outside with him, so technically he didnt leave the boy by himself in the sun. he just didnt give him sunscreen. its not like it was on purpose.

  • its not like he did it on purpose wtf

    fuck the law

  • THATS BULL CRAP! just cuz his son gets a sunburn, he cant see him! dats shit right there...

  • i dont think it would matter too much as being a criminal offense if the child was capable of putting sun screen on him self.. but the kid was only 2... thats still a baby ppl. a 2 year old cant even go potty by them selfs... i would know i am a mother of one.

  • this is fucking rediculous.........

    i got sunburn same as him on my checst when i was younger n my parents didnt go to jail it was my own fault i should of used sun screne...............fuckin pigs

  • it seems like police have nothing better to do these days

  • Pretty silly. Kids get sunburned all the time, it's part of life....

  • it was 2nd-3rd degree burns the sunburns that you normally get are 1st

  • this is retarded .....i wouldnt of been like fuck you .....im not goin 2 jail over a sun burn

  • wouldn't this kid notice that his shoulderswere that bad when ever i get just a minor sunburn i feel it why would the mother press charges its not like he meant to hurt him like forced him outside or beat him to death

  • Come on!!! Ive gotten 5 or six burns and 1 of them was at least as bad as that!! What the hell were those cops thinking!! Sunburns happen all the time. Find one law where it is illegal to let your kid play outside for 90 min. There is none. Kids do it all the time!!

  • I don't know about you but when I get sunburned it shows up After I go inside. And then over the next few days it gets worse.

    These pictures don't show what the kid looked liked outside or what the dad saw.

    Omg really playing with your kid outside, what a monster.

  • Comment removed

  • No charges should have been filed. The dad probably couldn't even see that well without sunglasses, so of course he didn't notice. The mother prolbably noticed when she took him into the house to get dressed, but seriously... what did the dad do? He did not intend to burn his son. This was something that was indirect.

  • Dumb US junkies, i doubt he wanted his son to get burnt.. PLUS is there even a law saying "your children can NOT get sun burnt"? IF there is im sureee lot of people should be in jail now... fucking dumb idiots.

  • @DylanszGoRawr what does this man and this situation ahve to do with all of america you dumb fuck?

  • @DylanszGoRawr are you saying all us people are junkies?

  • oh give the guy a break, so he made a mistake. He's only human.

  • @jayblob716 i agree he didnt do it intentionally

  • this is stupid it a sun burn

  • those are 2nd degree douchebags

  • omfg.its just a fuckin sunburn.just put some sunburn lotion on him and get over with it

  • first of all none of those are or can be 3rd degree burns, they are bad 2nd degree burns however and yes I agree the dad should have put sunscreen, or a shirt on him. But the Police have no right to arrest someone for this. Mistakes are made , as a father Im sure he feels bad enough. But the mother clearly is just Sore about the relationship so like very often happens she uses the Police as the Tools they are.....no pun intended.

  • you got to be kidding me...

  • This was a 2 yr old, a baby really, the father should have had sense enough to know better. The child was burned pretty badly and was too young to do anything for himself. I guess the father is just basically incompetent.

    Kids do get sunburned all the time yes, but with a baby you have to be very careful.

  • @marys2020 years ago we sat out in the sun all the time we got use to it and got sunburnt never used sunscreen it wasnt even around when i was a kid and we were in the sun for hours

  • these people are so silly, that kid learnt a valuable lesson, athats all!

  • the kid's 2

  • The shade mothafucka The shade! D:

  • At least they don't have this problem in Africa or most other countries, who invented white skin darn it.

  • @davoidd lol

  • Not even worth to comment...

  • wow thats fucking gay, like i can understand that dad getting in trouble with his wife or something and then lesson learned, but having him charged is just stupid.

  • well he kinda deserves it. For a kid to have burns like that and not take him to the hospital is insane. They are going to do some investigating and then decide if he's fit to stay with his son any longer.

  • oh come on, I use to get these burns at school when i was little and the teachers didnt get arrestted.. i would go home and my dad would take a knife and drain the big yellow blisters. I feel bad for this dad.  I do have a 2 year old and I wouldnt let this happen to him ever, but still this is taking it too far.

  • you people are stupid. I go jogging out in the sun for 30 minutes and I put sun screen on. He should have been arrested and custody taken away. Who doesn't put sunblock on their children when they go outside to play? Bad parenting can kill, just remember that the next time you want to call this stupid. What would be your reactions if this kid had run out in the middle of the street b/c his father was too busy sipping a beer and watching football.

  • Its too many people like you that fuck up our country ;)

  • Yeah, I'm stupid for anticipating the consequences of my action or lack of it. Then I'll chose to be your definition of stupid proudly.

  • he did not run in to the street he got a sun burn what are you stupid

  • thats unfair, the father deserves better

  • you gotta be kidding me how fucked up is that

  • seriously, what the fuck is this world coming to? oh yeah, instead of cracking down on drug dealers and child molestors and the like, let's throw a parent in JAIL because the little boy got sunburn ... if it was windy that day he might have gotten windburn ... extra jail time?????

  • @Lavenderinscence oh my god i never thought about this windburn im glad my kids are all grown up i hope they have no kids if this is what the world is coming to.

  • thats crazy what bull shit the goverment and system is, f**k the police all of em

  • this is so stupid.

    everyone gets a little red from being in the sun, that's probably all the dad thought it was.

    he didn't see the blisters right away because sunburns don't blister right away, it takes a day or two.

    the mom is just looking for fucking attention.

    if every parents who's child got sunburnt was charged for child abuse, over half the county's parents would be in jail.

    this is stupid.

  • ummm so whats their theory..... Instead of sticking him with an infected aids needle he stuck him in the sun, hoping he'd get cancer? No seriously that is kinda messed up but jail? I thought it was gonna be that he locked him outside for hours or something. Oh btw my black friend got sun burned and then the skin peeled and it was pink under neath soo.... I think any one can get burned, just some can tolerate it?

  • i think the sun is the only bad guy in this case

  • @goundm94 lol

  • Holy shit he is in jail????? Shit happens and sometimes when you are in the sun you do not notice this stuff is going on, and speaking as a parent i always make sure my kids have sunscreen on and then apply after sun cream but why the fuck did this guy get jail???????

  • Because he is a male , and the system looks to lock dads up all the time for nothing .

  • btw. only very whiteskinned pigs can get sunburned.

    This is because these pigs are domesticated for hundreds of years,living indoors most of the time.

    Pigs that live outdoors dont get sunburned.

  • WOW !

    is little Tommy ok ??

  • rofl the ppl that think hes guilty for child abuse are fucking retarded

    yes he wasent being respondsable but wtf

  • Ok. this is what i'm getting out of this video. I dont want to offend anyone by making this comment, but its what it seems like to me. Some ex wife comes to pick up her kid from dad, they were outside havin a good time, forgot to put sunscreen on. My parents, being divorced, constantly find new was to rip on each other, so thats what the wife in this case is probably doing. Stupid police.

  • YEP YEP

  • fuckin people

    now they worry about the sun

    wtf

  • Oh my god stupid ass police department! he got sunburned its natural! maybe they FORGOT to put sunscreen? Duh! Accidents happen

  • uh 2cnd to 3rd degree burns THAT IS FUCKING NORMAL you are a fucking moron

  • Jail ? are you freaking kidding me are you serious f*ing hicks are sooo stupid no common sence Jail is an over reaction for sunburn it was an OVERREACTION to sunburn so waht just put cream on it and it will be fine in a few days

  • Jail seems an over reaction, but all parents should be required to put sun screen on children. Not only is there the risk of sun burn but skin cancer as well. They make baby suntan lotion too. My Son who is almost 9m gets it on when we go out. White t's don't absorb heat but as a construction worker I know you can get sunburned through them.

  • your right you can get sunburn in anything and yes Jail was an overeaction but souther states might work diffrently that northern states

  • wow, sunburn is common, talk about over reacting

  • it doesn't have to be common its really bad for you and hurts like hell

  • haha the kid got burned horribly and the dads in jail that cheered me up

  • 90mins........they only say that for the shock value cause it sounds larger then 1.5 hours .......honestly this is retarted when i was really small my parents always took me to the beach and some times i would get a sunburn after 6 fucking hours in the sun....wow American Media is fucking retarded.

  • Ok mr statistics of the world can you tell me what percent of the worlds high income professional jobs such as lawyer doctor etc are white ull probably find a state of 80% or more n thats being generous

  • TheSeeker7714,

    In the western world birthrates amongst whites are dropping sharply,but the population is still growing.

    The primary cause for growth is immigration of people of non-western origin.Asians,Afrikans,middle-­easterners are having a babyboom since the early seventies.

    Their children are the (fast) growing minorities in colleges and universities of the west.

    But remember there are colleges and universities also in afrika,asia,lati-america, the middle-east etc.

    get the point???

  • Bullshit!

  • So this is what America has come to? We are putting innocent fathers in prison because their sons get sunburned? That's ridiculous. Why don't we stop letting the freaking sexual predators out of prison instead? America is so fucking retarded.

  • blame the mother, his mother reported him :@

  • there hicks there dumber than dirt now not every one in the south are dumb hicks

  • Whites are the only bio-entities on this planet that can burn from sunrays.

    No plants,animals and other humans can be injured by the sun.

    Thats why scientists predict the extinction of the white race in 300 to 500 years.

    Nature doesnt love whites and therefore eliminates them.

    Skincancer(a deadly form of cancer that comesfrom sunexposure) is already the number one cancer amongst whites in the agegroup 19 to 40.

    And more white men are getting sterile from u.v. exposure every year.

    HTP

  • dont be jelous cuz your not white

    n that white people will be gone in 300-500 years is complete bullshit

    white people will always be around

    and sorry to break it to u little racist colored person but were not leaveing

  • google:moths and men,the extinction of white people

    Other factors that will speed things up are 1)the extremely low(lowest of all ) birthrates.There are more white people dying than there are being born.

    2)abortion amongst white women age 16 to 45 is becoming epidemic and its becoming worse every year.

    They call it the silent genocide.

    Whites were 35% of worlds population in 1900.

    In 2003 whites only made up 9%.

    Its predicted that in 2050 its down to 2%!!

    These are the last days...

  • trust me no one is jelous because your white, fag.

  • yup thats what happens when your white as milk

  • Uh huh....

    You know, there's still that thing called skin cancer....

  • Dude get your facts straight. Pigs get sun burned so that's why they roll in mud all the time. Plants crinkle and get brown spots as well for a sunburn. White humans aren't the ONLY creature to get sunburned. Get a brain. Hopefully instead stupid people like you can become extinct in the next 300-500 years.

  • You are wrong.Pigs roll around in the mud to get rid of parasites that hurt the skin.And the only plants that "sunburn"are plants that have been grown indoors and later on placed outside in the sun.

    They crincle and develop brown spots at first but when the leaves fall the new leaves that grow out after a while will not be harmed by the sun.

    So YES,whites are the only bio-entities that get burned by the sun.

    Peace out

  • this is pretty stupid the blisters dont come until later. i was walking barefoot outside then when i came back in my feet just hurt 20 minutes after that the blisters came

  • Blisters on your feet dont count..... they barely hurt, second degree or 3rd degree sunburn blisters hurt 20x more i PROMISE you

  • I was just saying that the blisters wouldn't be there instantly

  • wtf is his problemput sunscreen on your kid!

  • How long does it take for blisters and redness to show? Would the skin have been acutely red skin after 90 minutes? I seriously doubt it. Would the redness and blisters need the amount of time it took for the mother to get home? Probably. Is this guy guilty? No, just ignorant. And that's mostly the mother's fault for not warning him. Is he screwed? Yup, but not for doing wrong. Cops are trained to coax and weasel any confessions that will stick. Jailed for what he said, not what he did.

  • Just another dumb redneck more concerned with his pickup truck than his 2 year old.

  • do they want him to bath the kid in fucking sunscreen

  • So fucking stupid...

  • its retarded that hes getting charged for it and hes retarded for letting a 2 year old to be out in the sun without a shirt on. that guy must be retarded and not mentally challenged but retarded cos he probably thought "well if he needs sunburn he'll just go get it himself and then put a shirt on and a cap and some sunglasses to"

  • that stupid fuckin redneck

  • Thats so fucking retarded -.-

  • Hmph. I was getting ready to comment like "wow. a sunburn. does the dad really have to go to jail because his son got a sunburn? NO.", but it seemes that the son got 2nd and 3rd degree burns, that's different :P But still, i wouldn't have charged anybody and definitely wouldn't put anyone in jail

  • I am only going to say this. My kids have played outside at 2 years old for longer than 90 minutes and they have not ended up with blisters like that. I have a feeling it was longer than 90 minutes and the dad probobly fell asleep or something and didn't realize that the kid had wandered outside.

  • i am very fair skinned and would burn as a child in 30 mins sometimes within 10 mins in direct sunlight! fair skin will burn that easily i once fell asleep floating in a pool for an hour and woke up covered in bluisters and red as a lobster AND that was after playing out in it with sunscreen on for an hour before!!

  • It shouldn't matter there is no reason why a father should be charged with child neglect for his kid getting a sunburn. That to me is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i agree with you that is nuts that he's in jail or was in jail for that i mean his neighbor even said how attentive he was to the little boy and when you're outside you can't always detect a sunburn until a little while after you're inside so yea that's bullshit if ya ask me

  • i got second degree burns alot as a child my mom put thelotion on me but i would always burn anyway! my mom would put aloe on me id heal in a weekor two depending on the exstent of the burns.. difference is my mom never took me to the cops to get the people watchin me in trouble, why? cause its stupid though third degree needs looked at by a burn unit it does not warrent getting the police involved when its a sun burn

  • did i say he should be put in jail? no! fined and put in parenting classes yes!! the mother should get the same cause she most likely waited to get her child medical attention just to get back at his father!

  • Ok sunburn won't cause this in just 90mins, I been out in the sun for 5-7hours working before and never got something like this.

  • there are witnesses to the time frame!
