SALEM, Ore. – A father was accused of using a dog shock collar on his four children. Salem Police Lt. Dave Okada said the 41-year-old man was jailed Tuesday on charges of criminal mistreatment. He said the father acknowledged putting the electronic dog collar on his four children and shocking all of them at least once.
According to Okada, the father didn't do it as a punishment. Rather, he thought it was funny.
The children, all younger than 10, are in the custody of their mother.
The case has been referred to state Department of Human Services.
I won't even use one of those on my pets, i can not imagine and because he thought it was funny?????????????
That is awful! But i have to say that one day the kids were in the back yard playing and came out of the yard and I told them I was going to get a shock collar for them if they came out again. Of course i would never but they found it funny..
