Kids Struck With Belt, Wall Stabbed

Our weekly collection of crime stories from the suburbs includes a child abuse charge for a woman police say struck her children with a belt and a man already in hot water taking his frustration out on a wall.

A mom faces more than 10 years prison after she was charged with child abuse. Police say the Port Washington woman struck her children, a 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, on the forearms with a belt. 

A Greenfield man previously accused of impersonating a photographer to gain access to high school athletes late last year, faces .  

This woman was supposed to be taking care of the elderly, but she instead stole pills and money from the people in the Oak Creek nursing home where she worked. A judge gave her probation.  

This Wauwatosa father was frantic when he called police to report someone had stolen his car—with his 5-year-old son strapped in the back seat. The car was abandoned a short time later, and the boy was found unharmed.

This woman was being medically cleared at a Waukesha medical facility when, —and overdosed.

The biggist diservice to this country the supreme court ever did was to take away the kick in the rear at home and at school these kids need and crave it we never had all these alpabatized bologna illnesses that are sopposedly treated with drugs all they are creating are drug dependant SOMBIES that crave drugs

Actually, Tom, the Supreme Court has done no such thing. In fact, it has upheld the common law privilege of reasonable discipline. Also, Wisconsin law likewise provides for a privilege of reasonable discipline of a child. It does not ban spankings, even with an instrument such as a belt or a spoon, so long as it is reasonable and does not result in great bodily harm.

Rees; When the Sacred village Board cloaked the building of a new Village hall for over $17 million,Read More it was brought to there attention to build TWO new fire stations. One south, one north. Instead they built the Taj Mahal and a distance fire station. Maybe the two remaining Trustees could orate their decision for the residents.

Hmm "make a stronger Wisconsin than ever". Yup Scottie, 44th in the country is the beat!Read More Soon 50th? Inverted math? "The recall brought us closer together" You won spending 6-1 using a majority of out of state $, had 5 times longer to campaign and won because one side failed to confront the second battle of recalls as a whole vs Scotties recall. "For decades we will be able to look up public officials and hopefuls, teachers, neighbors, interviewees" so much for freedom of speech & the recall Scott Walker used to become Milwaukee's head of busted political officials. Scott you were hired to represent all citizens of Wisconsin.

"Team of geniuses"? Your joking of course. My email box is blown off the planet by youRead More guys. What gives? For a couple of months I really thought this was the place to come to find out what was going on. You were giving the JT a real run for the money. Not any more. Maybe it's just me, and if so, I apologize, but there are better places to waste time then the Patch.
