Waterboarded for ABCs

Anger over alphabet ends in arrest:

27-year-old Joshua Ryan Tabor of Yelm, Washington has been arrested for holding his 4-year-old daughter’s head under water in their kitchen sink. Allegedly because the girl wouldn’t recite the alphabet.

Tabor spoke to a Yelm police officer and said that he and his girlfriend had “held her down on the counter and submerged her head into the water three or four times until the water came around her forehead and jawline.” He said that she was face-up when her head was in the water. He added that they gave this punishment for the 4-year-old “refusing to say her letters.”

Tabor told police that his daughter is afraid of water “and was squirming around trying to get away from the water. Joshua did not act as though he felt there was anything wrong with this form of punishment.”

Actually I doubt his girlfriend had anything to do with it since she’s the one who called police after Tabor allegedly…

“was irate, intoxicated and walking around the neighborhood with his Kevlar helmet threatening to break windows.”

Tabor is also accused of abusing the girl and…you know what? You have to read the article to see just how vicious this moron was to his own child. Drowning the girl for the alphabet is only just the beginning.

Thanks to Morrigan for the tip.
