A California water agency director has been arrested on suspicion of
felony child abuse after a neighbor shot and posted online video of him
whipping his stepson with a belt after he failed to catch a baseball.
Sheriff's Lt. Scott Sheppeard tells the Imperial Valley Press
34-year-old Imperial Irrigation District Director Anthony Sanchez was
arrested Friday. He's being held on $100,000 bail.
Neighbor Oscar Lopez secretly shot the video Wednesday from inside
his house. It shows the boy dropping the baseball, then Sanchez hitting
him with the belt before Lopez starts shouting to stop. Lopez says he
posted the video on Facebook and YouTube then gave it to authorities.

Sickening!
The mother should be arrested for allowing her husband to hit the child. A stepparent should never be physical with a stepchild. Ever.
But all these bureaucrats and 'policy makers' have it together, and know better than all of us how to run our lives right? Sure.
SO sad that this child was treated like this; hopefully, the stepfather will get some treatment for this. Also hope the 'peeping tom' gets some help too. How often is he watching the neighbors activities from his second floor window?
