Title: WTF: US Soldier Waterboards 4 Yr Old Daughter For Not Knowing ABC
Post by: Takeshi Kovacs on February 19, 2010, 12:25:53 AM

Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used a CIA torture technique on his 4-year-old daughter because he was angry she couldn’t recite the alphabet. (h/t The Political Carnival)

As his daughter ‘squirmed’ to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.

Tabor, 27, who had won custody of his daughter only four weeks earlier, admitted choosing the punishment because the girl was terrified of water.

…

Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, was arrested after being seen walking around his neighbourhood wearing a Kevlar military helmet and threatening to break windows.

Police discovered the alleged waterboarding when they went to his home in the Tacoma suburb of Yelm and spoke to his girlfriend.

She told them about the alleged torture and the terrified girl was found hiding in a closet, with bruising 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.’

During a police interview Tabor allegedly admitted grabbing his daughter, placing her on the kitchen counter and submerging her face into a bowl of water.

Sergeant Rob Carlson said the punishment was carried out because the girl would not recite the alphabet.

Water boarding suspected terrorists is fucked up.

Water boarding your 4 year old daughter is mega-all kinds of awful fucked up.  IT takes fucked up to a entirely different level.

Their rights end where I my fist begins in the defense of that little girl's right not to die.

I agree that every child (from the point of physical autonomy) has the Right to Life and the Right to Emancipation (http://www.google.com/search?q="Right+to+Emancipation"+site%3Abbs.freetalklive.com), but parents using unusual punishment methods in not a cause for violent intervention from the state!
