Clare men accused of burning boy's anus with propane torch charged
 

CLARE -- Two Clare brothers charged with burning the anus of a 6-year-old boy with a propane torch could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of first-degree child abuse.

Clare County 80th District Court Magistrate Rick Laboda on Wednesday arraigned Gerald T. Hall, 36, and Glen Leslee Hall, 43, for the crime, which caused second- and third-degree burns, state police from the Mount Pleasant post say.

The mother of the child and hospital staff called police when they discovered what had happened. Police immediately arrested Gerald Hall and later arrested Glen Hall where he works at a construction site, said state police Sgt. Del Putnam.

"They said they were disciplining the child for making a mess in his pants," Putnam said.

Police say the men took the boy to a shed and took turns burning the child on the buttocks and anus, causing the severe burns. The men also removed the boy's clothing and burned them as well.

The child was treated and released at an area hospital after a short hospital stay, police said.

County Prosecutor Michelle Ambrozaitis would not comment on the prior criminal records of the brothers, although police said both had extensive criminal histories.

Laboda set the preliminary examination for the pair for 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, in District Court.

Wtf!!!!!

Oh my god!!! WTF is wrong with people.

That is horrifying to hear. What the hell goes through peoples minds before committing acts like this? This is the shit that makes me believe that some people are just pure evil.

stupid fucking hicks... honestly.

Drugs and/or alcohol must have also played a part I'm sure.

what the fuck is wrong with people

Maybe those men will get a good pounding in the same part of the body when they are in prison. Karma is a bitch.

That poor little boy.....Those two men are fucking crazy!!!

Agreed, child molesters and abusers always get it the worst behind bars.

People who fuck with children should face the death penalty, fuck 15 years. It pisses me off that they might even see the light of day ever again, even after 15 years of the hard anal that they will end up doing.

I hate the legal system in this country. I have a friend who is doing much longer then those two twats even face over beating the living piss out of his wife and the guy he caught fucking her in his own bed. I wonder how he would feel knowing that he would have been better off assulting the dudes children with blow torches.

What bullshit.

Why were these guys in possession of the child? Did the mother leave her kid with them?
There is no kidnapping charge or anything similar so.... ?

The poor kind it's gonna be marked for life.They deserve the punishment.

:( :(

WTF is wrong with people? Seriously WTF?

YEAH , lets hope:2 cents:

Jesus.

They should fucking hang those dudes.

WTF were they thinking? How could you not understand that you would go to jail for a very long time for doing something so fucking dumb and cruel to a kid?

what the fuck

the world is so much worse today, i remember the days when you could keep your doors unlocked, and no violence like you see today, its just brutal out there.

"both had extensive criminal histories." Prison will be like a vacation. To bad the judge can't use the 'eye for an eye' rule when he hands down his sentence. Blow torches on their asses seems like a better punishment

people are fucked up whats new

I think appropriate punishment is to blowtorch their balls. Maybe the mafia had it right...

omg.. what the hell is wrong with people? Just when I think I've heard it all, I read a story like this. :Oh crap

just disgusting

makes me sick in my stomach

Strap them to a chair with Duct Tape, drill their teeth down to the nerves and fill their mouths with sugar.

Yeah . . . I think that should do it!

Shouldn't it be sexual abuse too?

wow, that would suck, even thinking about that hurts

Shit you think you have heard it all and them boom. That's so fucked up I hope they get time in prison with a huge black guy named Bubba.

Although a number of torture techniques are effective in the short term, the human body is designed to prevent fatigue by introducing shock and adrenaline into the system. Trust me, as someone who neglected their teeth for 20 years, I know the pain your trying to describe first hand, and trust me when I say, it becomes bearable after awhile.

4 grand later and you'd never know it by seeing me today. All reconstructed and tip top. :2 cents:

GENPOP

When will the west grow some fucking balls?

What's happening in Mexico right now makes me scratch my head.. They have no death penalty, and their criminals live better than the people on the street who did NOTHING WRONG.

DNA = TRUE = FIRING SQUAD.

WTF? Why are we so nice to ignorant criminals who harm our children? Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
