Apparently he got a little overzealous.

I don't want to take away from the sheer family tragedy going on here. It's a bad situation. My terrible thought is that it sounds like an episode of "Seinfeld" or "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", but with LDS characters.

As long as I'm already going to Hell for pride and a lack of compassion in this story, I notice that bail was set at $3900 and it was not paid so the father remained in jail. this is not a large bail amount. This tells me that economic issues may be a serious issue for this family if they do send anyone on a mission.

"Family... Isn't it about time?"

That was an old COJCOLd$™ commercial wasn't it? That's what immediately came to my fluffy mind when reading this story. If your religion makes you want to cause bodily harm to your own children, you're doing it wrong.

His Facebook page makes me want to vomit. It’s as though he can’t think of anything by Mormonism.

Maybe the wife decided to let him cool off in jail for a few days.... quite surprised the sister called 911 instead of the bishop. Good for her.

Found out the abuse was regular and the kids are heroic for getting their Dad arrested to allow them to escape this situation. The religion sure does provide cover for these cowardly assholes!

We'll give you your free agency punk, free to choke to death for using your God given free agency to not go on a mission. Feel free to die while I freely choke you to death! Yeah, that religion of love just makes me tingle all over.....
