- 1:20Speaker 4: year old daughter sleep in the garage to experience being
- 1:22Speaker 4: homeless has now been charged with ziptyeing the young girl.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Robert James McIntosh, forty six, of Taylorsville was charged Monday
- 1:30Speaker 4: in Third District Court with two counts of aggravated child abuse,
- 1:34Speaker 4: a third degree felony. Both he and his wife, Alicia
- 1:36Speaker 4: Lyne A Macintosh, forty six, were arrested Friday by Taylorsville
- 1:40Speaker 4: Police for investigation of aggravated child abuse. However, the Salt
- 1:44Speaker 4: Lake County District Attorney's Office is now determined there isn't
- 1:47Speaker 4: enough evidence to charge Alicia Macintosh for the child abuse
- 1:51Speaker 4: she was suspected of committing, and neither parent will face
- 1:54Speaker 4: charges for allegedly making their daughter sleep in the garage.
- 1:57Speaker 4: Charging documents filed Monday against Robert McIntosh state that the
- 2:00Speaker 4: young girl was scratching her face and causing it to bleed,
- 2:03Speaker 4: so Macintosh found zip ties and zip tied her to
- 2:06Speaker 4: a bed, she said. Macintosh then removed the ladder from
- 2:09Speaker 4: her bunk bed, so she couldn't climb onto the bed,
- 2:11Speaker 4: and she hung there, unable to touch the ground for
- 2:14Speaker 4: ten to fifteen minutes damn. When questioned, Macintosh told police
- 2:18Speaker 4: that he zip tied his daughter one time for less
- 2:20Speaker 4: than ten minutes to stop her from scratching herself. Alicia
- 2:23Speaker 4: McIntosh stated she knew Macintosh zip tied their daughter to
- 2:27Speaker 4: her bed, but said it was a moment of desperation
- 2:30Speaker 4: when he had been home alone with her. The charges state, oh.
- 2:34Speaker 2: This is a lot man, you know.
- 2:36Speaker 1: The honorable minutes the Louis pra Cohn, who celebrated his
- 2:38Speaker 1: ninety third born data week dropping a clue bombs for
- 2:40Speaker 1: minutes to frag conn donoral minises Louis Fray Cohn always says,
- 2:44Speaker 1: when you see men fall, don't laugh. Learn And this
- 2:47Speaker 1: is a prime example, because sometimes you have to see
- 2:50Speaker 1: what happens to others when they do things you thought about. Okay,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I have absolutely threatened to put my child outside. All right,
- 2:57Speaker 1: I would never do it, okay, especially now after reading
- 2:59Speaker 1: this story, but I'm thought about it. And sometimes we
- 3:01Speaker 1: need to see examples of how stupid things actually are
- 3:04Speaker 1: when you do them, because look, man, kids are difficult
- 3:07Speaker 1: and there is no manual to raising them. I have
- 3:09Speaker 1: so much respect for my parents now that I am one.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, I get it. Kids
- 3:13Speaker 1: will test your patience in ways that you can't even imagine. Okay,
- 3:16Speaker 1: I don't even understand, you know, psychologically, how you can
- 3:19Speaker 1: love something so much, But on the flip side, want
- 3:21Speaker 1: to hurt them so bad when they trying you.
- 3:23Speaker 2: But Alicia and Robert, this isn't the lesson you thought
- 3:26Speaker 2: it was.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, this is you're abusing your child
- 3:32Speaker 1: in multiple ways. But I want to just talk about
- 3:36Speaker 1: the homeless aspect of it. When you said you were
- 3:38Speaker 1: teaching your child how to be homeless, you are not
- 3:41Speaker 1: teaching your child how to be homeless. You are teaching
- 3:43Speaker 1: your child how to be traumatized. You are teaching your
- 3:45Speaker 1: child how to not trust their parents. You are teaching
- 3:48Speaker 1: your child how to feel unsafe and unsupported because it
- 3:52Speaker 1: all starts at home, all right, I don't It wasn't
- 3:54Speaker 1: in the news report. But when they put them in
- 3:57Speaker 1: the garage, this kid went to a neighbor's house to
- 3:59Speaker 1: use them because his parents wouldn't let him use bathroom.
- 4:01Speaker 1: So he left the garage and went to a neighbor's
- 4:03Speaker 1: house and told the neighbor he would have rather I
- 4:06Speaker 1: don't even know if it was a heat, but they
- 4:08Speaker 1: told the neighbor they would rather live with them because
- 4:12Speaker 1: their parents locked them out of the house.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And when the daddy picked up.
- 4:16Speaker 1: The child from his neighbor's house, they punished the child again, okay,
- 4:21Speaker 1: made him sleep in the garage because how dare you
- 4:23Speaker 1: go to the neighbor's house telling them folks off business?
- 4:26Speaker 2: See, the first law of nature is self preservation.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So that young child did what they had to do
- 4:30Speaker 1: to survive by going to the neighbor's house.
- 4:32Speaker 2: But if that child was raised off Good Times like
- 4:35Speaker 2: we was.
- 4:35Speaker 1: In the nineteen hundreds, then they would have learned from
- 4:37Speaker 1: watching Linella Gordon punished Penny, you don't bring nobody else
- 4:42Speaker 1: into yall business.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Okay, but you should, right, And.
- 4:46Speaker 1: The punishment Penny got if she dared to bring somebody
- 4:49Speaker 1: else in their family business.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay.
- 4:51Speaker 1: If that child was watching Good Times, they would have
- 4:53Speaker 1: known involving the neighbors was going to escalate the situation.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:58Speaker 1: And with Alicia and Roberts track record, you know you
- 5:01Speaker 1: probably want to keep that child away from them.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Dare I say forever? Okay?
- 5:08Speaker 1: These parents need counseling and extensive therapy, at least the dad,
- 5:12Speaker 1: because I know that dad right now is plotting and
- 5:14Speaker 1: planning some severe punishment for this young child, because not
- 5:17Speaker 1: only did you go to the neighbor's house to complain
- 5:20Speaker 1: about them, the police came and you got him arrested.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Oh man, he's planning to go get a hot iron
- 5:25Speaker 1: right now. This story is just the prime example of
- 5:29Speaker 1: everybody is not ready to be a parent.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Kids do not deserve to be in abusive relationships with
- 5:34Speaker 1: their parents. Okay, they didn't ask to be here, all right.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Parenting is supposed to prepare kids for the world, Okay,
- 5:39Speaker 1: not traumatize them for it.
- 5:41Speaker 2: A right.
- 5:41Speaker 1: There's a difference between discipline and cruelty and abuse, all right.
- 5:46Speaker 1: If you're lesson planned for your child includes you know,
- 5:50Speaker 1: them freezing in a garage, you know, with a bucket
- 5:52Speaker 1: for a bathroom or hog timer wrist together and letting
- 5:56Speaker 1: them hang places, You're not teaching the responsibility, you're teaching theory. Okay,
- 6:00Speaker 1: And too many parents do confuse control with care. Please
- 6:05Speaker 1: let me ma, give Alicia and Robert McIntosh the biggest
- 6:08Speaker 1: he haw.
- 6:09Speaker 4: He haw, he haw, you stupid mother?
- 6:12Speaker 2: Are you dumb?
- 6:14Speaker 3: Yo?
- 6:15Speaker 2: You know what?
- 6:16Speaker 3: My initial thought was, right because if they zip tied her,
- 6:19Speaker 3: if he zip tied her, right, like, what from keeping
- 6:23Speaker 3: up for scratching her face? It honestly sounds like she
- 6:27Speaker 3: was like possessed. That's sounding like some Emily Rose.
- 6:30Speaker 2: She was not possessed. She probably scratching her face because
- 6:32Speaker 2: she was scratched out.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And dealing with high levels of anxiety and was terrified
- 6:37Speaker 1: and traumatized in this a beautic relationship. So she was
- 6:39Speaker 1: scratching her face because she was harming herself. That's what
- 6:42Speaker 1: that's like, a self mutilation, wasn't that?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Why not? How old was the logan? Eleven? Yeah? Well,
- 6:54Speaker 2: good thing he's.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Arrested now, he's in jail now.
- 6:58Speaker 2: But damn what that means for the little girl? Where
- 7:01Speaker 2: did she go?
- 7:01Speaker 3: Because she can't go back into the kf I mother
- 7:03Speaker 3: because they both got to be investigated.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I really don't know.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I have no idea, but I feel so horrible for
- 7:10Speaker 1: that young lady because there's a lot of kids out
- 7:12Speaker 1: there going through that same situation. All right now, it's
- 7:16Speaker 1: time for just fix my Mess. I don't know what
- 7:18Speaker 1: type of advice y'all expect to get from her shut
- 7:20Speaker 1: up after.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Hearing what you got to save this that? But she got.
- 7:28Speaker 4: That's what I thought at first.
- 7:29Speaker 2: She wonded, wat shed getting in trouble? That's what I forget.
- 7:31Speaker 3: That's what I thought at first.
- 7:33Speaker 1: And that's why you should never ever go with your
- 7:35Speaker 1: first thought. Matter of fact, think three four times before.
- 7:37Speaker 2: You shut up Up anyway, we'll be back with just
