Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter

Posted by familycourtreform06 on February 7, 2008

MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A McMinnville judge has ordered a father to serve jail time for spanking his 16-year-old daughter.

John T. Cox was found guilty Friday by Judge Bratton Cook on the charge of domestic assault following his second hearing in two weeks.

His first hearing before General Sessions Judge Larry Ross ended in a mistrial after Cox revealed Ross’ wife was his attorney for his divorce, and the judge recused himself.

Cox was ordered to serve two days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence and attend anger management classes.

He was also ordered not to spank or physically correct his daughter when he has visitation.

Cox was charged after his daughter reported he had spanked her during a confrontation between the two, sparked by a disagreement the daughter had with her father’s girlfriend.

petition overview | letter

In Support of Lisa and Bella Smith #2

Target:

To Return Bella to her mother, Lisa Smith, where she belongs

Sponsored by: 

friends, advocates and families

This petition is in support of returning Bella Smith, to her mother, Lisa Smith. Where she legally belongs. Children can not be stolen from their homes with out trials and proof of real harm.
Bella was removed from her home without probable cause or a warrant. Their were no reports of harm against the mother. Bella was taken by a Knox County Juvenile Case Manager, Stacey Turpin. Ms. Turpin said she had a warrant and did not. She removed the child out of anger. Once the child was removed, she was given to an abusive, violent father, who had been out of Bella’s life, by his choice for more than a year. The father has committed several violent acts against the mother and other women, this is all documented in police records. The Juvenile Court has failed to provide the child with a safe environment. She has not had proper, continued medical attention. The father has testified in 3 Courts, under oath, that he does not give the child medicines prescribed by her Doctor. Yet, the Juvenile Court refuses to acknowledge this medical neglect. Their must be due process, fair and equal treatment, and protection of Constitutional Rights, in children’s cases. No one has attempted to reunite Bella with her Mother. It sends a negative message to society and battered women, when the State chooses to prosecute women for rightfully protecting their children.
This child has been to Dr. and ER more than 42 in a year and a half, her bruises, marks, and scratches have all been documented and photographed. The child her self has stated several times, her “daddy whipped her butt, with the switch”. No one has done anything to protect this child, we ask you, Judge Swann, the State of TN, the prosecutor, Leland Price, who seeks to punish Ms. Smith, to look at the facts and the law, to see the fraud that has been committed and correct it. TN has had a long, negative history in The Children’s Services area, we ask that you not allow Bella to become another statistic.
Do not continue with this case, allow Ms. Smith to regain the rightful custody of Bella, and return her home, where she can be safe and loved, and most important, where she wants to be. Little girls need their Mothers.
Regards,
