Minneapolis – And here I thought I was done for the day. But I couldn’t let this one go. police were called to the apartment of William Hurley apartment on on a child abuse call. When they arrived, they encountered a 10-year-old boy who claimed he had been beaten by his father for being in his mother’s bedroom. The boy hid under a bed, but Hurley threatened to kill him if he didn’t come out. When he did, Hurley burned him on the leg and arm with a hot iron. When the boy ran out of the apartment screaming for help, his mother allegedly pulled him back inside and let Hurley whip him with an extension cord. Out of desperation, the boy hid in the oven, but had to climb out after Hurley turned the oven on. You would think this story couldn’t get any more ridiculous and rage inducing, but it does.

Hurley admitted to the police that he “whooped” the boy and went on to say he wasn’t finished. Hurley then threatened to beat the boy in front of the officers and had to be restrained. The boy was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries. Hurley was arrested and charged with malicious punishment of a child. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $3,000 fine. Which all seems really, really lenient for what allegedly happened. This kid would have had a better chance at life had his mother given birth to him in a bear cave and left him there.
