[Notes:SOT Capt. Ken Clark, Berea Police Dept.

A neighbor says the father was outside with the boy and should have noticed the sunburn and the resulting blisters.

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.

[daboodeef179]

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