This is the stuff that drives me crazy. This guy fractured his daughter's arm and fractured his son's arm and ribs. His punishment: probation.
The judge, like all Racine judges, enables the guy to keep djrinking and beating his kids until someone is killed. Then everyone will say, "How could this happen?"
Drinking does NOT cause you to beat your children. I'm so sick of that lie. Drinking is not an excuse to break the law or children's arms. I'm a low-bottom alcoholic who caused major injury to myself by drinking, but I still would never think of harming a child.
I know a guy in AA who raped a two-year-old (I don't even wnat to think about it) and blames it on his alcoholism. Bullshit!
By blaming this child abuser's drinking instead of the guy himself, Torhorst again enables more drinking and child abuse in Racine.
Our judges need to spend a few hundred hours in AA. Then they might get it: you are responsible for your actions, drunk or sober, NO ONE ELSE.
