Manitowoc County Sheriff’s OfficeTimothy and Tina Hauschultz
When seven-year-old Ethan Hauschultz died last April from hypothermia and blunt force trauma to the head, chest, and abdomen, authorities had some pressing questions.
The nearly year-long investigation into the young Wisconsin boy’s suspicious cause of death has now been traced back to his court-appointed parents, Timothy and Tina Hauschultz, and their 15-year-old son, Damian.
According to FOX 11, Ethan was ordered to haul a 44-pound log for two hours per day for a one-week period. Tragically, the cause of Ethan’s punishment was for “not knowing 13 Bible verses to Timothy’s satisfaction.”
The reckless behavior of the two adults, alongside their teenage son, has now officially been found to be criminal. All three are expected to make their first court appearances in Manitowoc County court today.

Timothy is charged with felony murder and felony contributing to the delinquency of a child, and four other charges. Tina is charged with failing to prevent bodily harm and intentionally contributing to the delinquency of a child, while their son Damian is charged with first-degree reckless homicide, and six additional charges.
Damian told police that his father picked out the logs for Ethan and that he was ordered by his father to make sure the boy completed his daily punishment. Though Damian is not yet of age, juveniles in Wisconsin charged with certain homicides are processed in adult court.
“Ethan had been performing punishment ordered by Timothy which required Ethan to carry a heavy wooden log, weighing approximately two-thirds his body weight, while being monitored by Timothy’s 15-year-old son,” the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office said.
While it would seem as though Damian, only a 15-year-old child himself, could’ve been coerced into the dangerous, negligent behavior of his, investigators found evidence to the contrary.
The teenager allegedly kicked and struck Ethan around 100 times, sometimes using a stick or belt. He even stood on the boy’s chest while his face was in a puddle, and buried him in snow for more than 20 minutes without a coat or boots on. This would explain the signs of blunt force trauma on the boy’s body, with hypothermia being the ultimate cause of death.

Damian told police that he “didn’t do anything that would have hurt” Ethan, yet admitted to the above series of events and described covering Ethan “in his own little coffin of snow.”
Timothy, meanwhile, explained to investigators that carrying the heavy log was meant to instill discipline. He also said that he wasn’t home when Ethan died. Damian allegedly called his father several times when he realized Ethan was no longer moving.
Tina has yet to make any substantial statements in this case, with Monday’s court hearing likely to clarify her role in the matter. One of Ethan’s siblings told police that she was well aware of Timothy’s grueling punishment methods — which certainly substantiates charges alleging failure of preventing bodily harm and intentionally contributing to the delinquency of a child.
After learning about the tragic death of Ethan Hauschultz, read about the parents who starved their son to death as part of a 40-day religious fast. Then, learn about a sick Minnesota boy who died when his parents chose prayer over medical attention.
“...while their son Damian is charged with first-degree reckless homicide...”
Damian...evil...well - yeah.
That's your response? There must be muslims who are worse?
You are as bad as the parents, dirtbag.
Timothy Hauschultz punished his 7-year-old son for forgetting 13 Bible verses by forcing him to undergo manual labor in the winter while his teenage son beat him.

Not really trying to be picky
BUT
Was Timothy or the 7 year old getting beat by the teenage son?
Commas & Caps etal can be your friend at the damndest time.

Jim helped his Uncle Jack off the horse.

The Judge said the Lawyer is an ass.
The Judge, said the lawyer, is an ass.
I'm glad you posted this because the article --- oh, why do I even read this stuff? ---just makes me hurt all over. Dear God. The evil is unfathomable.
You miss the big picture of the media propaganda and what they emphasize to demonize Christians. There are always horror stories in every population and I labeled this a horror story. Call me a dirt bag as bad as the parents? You should go and look as some ISIS mass graves or honor killings.
“Not really trying to be picky
BUT”
National grammar day was yesterday. :)
I don’t miss any big picture at all.
A child is tortured to death and your concern is to maintain your pride and self-righteousness.
You make me sick.
Another responsible party? That judge?
Y'jes' can't get away from the facts that people do bad things, others see and know those peaople and the bad things, none report nor take action ... and a tragedy happens.
Even though we know that our next door neighbor is probably a terrorist bound on doing harm (San Bernadino couple comes to mind immediately), no one does anything.
Why ?
As confessed by the San Bernadina witnesses .... they were afraid of ________________ (fill in the blank)
So now we have a couple of northern states that have islamic conclaves and no one is saying anything.
We've lost the will to kill.
Saw a meme the other day ... a prtrait of Gearge Washington captioned;
"We'd be stacking bodies before all of THIS occured"
You suggesting they should have ignored it?
Is that as bad as muzzies killing people for not knowing the koooran?
Which verses? Wondering if that part was made up by the family.
These people aren’t Christians. They’re monsters. And this happened in the US; not somewhere in the middle of nowhere-Syria. Your attitude that the brutal murder of a child committed by so-called “Christians” should be swept under the rug and not covered is a bit troubling.
Foster parents with a son named Damien, who look like meth heads?
What church do these murderous cretins allegedly belong to?
Not at all. I am suggesting that the media manipulates by what they report and ignore and how them emphasize it.
The mother looks retarded or perhaps she’s just taken too many blows to the head. Sounds like a good case for applying Arnaud Amalric’s rule of practice.
Extremism of ideology is a serious problem, always has been throughout history. And not one doctrine can claim true righteousness and clean hands of this fact.
I'm very curious about the Christian angle, myself. If this isn't just an example of media playing up red meat for Christian hate, then their beliefs are not Christian and any church that advocates such things needs to be exposed. My impression, from their choosing a name with pop culture demonic connotation for their biological son, is that they're not particularly Christian even without murdering their foster child. What church do they belong to? Where is this detail? And, yes, what were the 13(!) bible verses?
Truth29's response was not about Muslims, it was about the corrupt biased media.
Your response demonstrates ignorance.
Is that really the big picture?
