PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK) - A boy’s father was arrested after he told police he punished his 6-year-old son by making him stand barefoot on the ground for 10 minutes in their backyard.
The victim’s stepmother admitted she knew about the boy’s burns and blisters but did not report it for about 24 hours because she was afraid the children in the house would be taken away, according to a court document. She also said her husband had convinced her that nobody would believe her.
The incident came to light after child crimes detectives with the Phoenix Police Department were called to Maricopa County Hospital’s burn center on July 12, where the boy was treated for severe burns to the bottom of his feet as well as multiple bruises on his body.

White trash hope The Sheriff gets some time with him
I am all for parents using corporal punishment.
This guy did not inflict corporal punishment. Bruises and blistering burns are abuse, not corporal punishment.
From the article, “Sarah Simmons has 30 previous Department of Child Services reports involving her children.”
30???????
I was a firm parent but never did anything that a sensible person would consider abusive. Discipline never left my kids with burns, blisters, scars, exposure to Obama/Hillary speeches, or anything else cruel. They got all of that (except for the last and most inhumane one) from outdoor activities, but never inflicted by me.
Correct. And what’s with her wondering if she’d be believed? Blisters are physical facts.
Guess stupid can’t be fixed. Sigh.
LOLOLOL about the speeches!
Shoot the father dead.
Put the mother in jail for aiding and abetting child abuse, and ban her from seeing them until they reach adulthood.
Find homes for the kids, and explain to them that their parents were evil.
the indians would have a boy child squat....20 feet from a goal..”tree..roch ect”.....in the heat....desert ......he had an adult “ussually grandpa”.....sitting near by....starting at about age 3.....so....he had to wiggle...his feet....very slowly......untill he got to the goal.......if the adult SAW him move.....he starts over.....no food or water....
the asians played a game....older kids or adults...would try to stomp on the feet of a child....after a while they go pretty fast w their feet.....and of course would NEVER stand in the way of a superior.....
There were also a variety of very painfull positions to hold...and tasks to master....
of course the afrricans just eat them.....every once in a while a kid just dissapears.....gone.....
in tibet when the chins took over.....if anyone was found w a gun....the whole family was burned...in public....people who were there think at least 10 mil...were killed...and 700k eaten.....because that was required by party officials”.....
This guy in the story sounds like a sht-bird...but im trying to emphasis the huge GULF....between american socialization and many other parts of the world....
oh well
The father wasn’t teaching anything - he was damaging the child.
And totalitarian murderers are not the models for constructive discipline that I respect.
In addition, there’s a difference between insanity and sophistication. If tribal elders needed warriors, they didn’t make trainings so severe that they crippled or killed their own children. They knew life was hard enough, and that if they abandoned their humanity, those children would grow up to kill THEM.
Seriously, this country needs to pass a “tit for tat” law.
This guy should be made to do the same thing times ten!
Orly?
Yep. Child abusers should die.
Violently.
My first thought on seeing the headline was that there would be a stepparent involved.
Bingo. Yahtzee.
Talisker gets it. There is hope for humanity.
