Joshua Tabor, 27, of Yelm, Wash., allegedly beat the child before holding her head under water Sunday night in the family’s kitchen sink. Tabor told police he and his girlfriend “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,” to punish the girl for “refusing to say her letters.” Tabor reportedly told police that his daughter was 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,” the police report said.
Police found the little girl locked in a bathroom with bruises on her back and scratch marks on her neck and throat. Asked how she got the bruises, the girl is said to have replied, “Daddy did it.” Tabor, who is a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Wash., has been charged with second-degree assault of a child and will soon answer to the legal court system, and/or the inside code (inmates who despise crimes against children) of the jail system.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WATER BOARD HIM WHEN HE GETS TO JAIL!
