Sentenced: Brenden William-Robert Smith Claimed The TV Fell On His Children

[Sugar Cookie]

A 25-year-old northern Michigan man has been charged with child abuse after claiming a TV fell on his kids this month, state police announced Friday.

Troopers interviewed the children's mother and grandmother on July 21 in Alpena Township after both reported finding bruises on the children, MSP said in a statement.

The children had spent the day with their father, Brenden William-Robert Smith. When the mother and grandmother confronted him about the pair's condition, "he became angry and stated a television had fallen on the children and caused the injuries," according to the release.

The women asked Smith to leave, and both children were treated at MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena.

Investigators later interviewed Smith, who again insisted a TV set had fallen and denied hurting the children, state police said. A report was submitted to the Alpena County Prosecutor's Office, which authorized an arrest warrant.

I remember @Old Man Metal refer to that as the prince Valiant in between stage of growing the hair out.HA!

Yeah he looks 12, but now you know, he can't be trusted with the kids, and when he does get out of jail, if he even goes, mama won't have any trouble keeping the kdis away from him. Hopefully. With CPS you never know.

WOW, who ruins a pretty face like that with the world's absolute worst beard?
That boy ain't right in the head...

 

[Alxprkrkrls]

THATS A BEARD? I THOUGHT IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SHADOW. I’m a woman and I could grow a better beard than that Jesus Christ

 

[Donut Whisperer]

That is a pretty man boy. I think he's even prettier than a young Johnny Depp. They're gonna love him in prison.

 

[zzouy]

I wasn’t sure if that thing was:
1. An ugly beard
2. A pixelated shadow
3. Permanent marker scribbles.

[GoreWhore]

He looks like a real winner. No wonder the mom left.

 

[Sejanus]

Neck bearded fuktard.
His face cries out for fists

 

[cubby]

I'll bet he didn't break the TV to support his story, hey you gotta have some priorities, folks, that TV costs money!

Yet again, someone wants to blame television for their own failings.

The first person who popped into my head was Prince Valium from SpaceBalls.

And he had better tell the boys in the slammer that he likes it, even if he doesn't. Wouldn't want to offend them

wondering what kind of t.v. they have/had lol can't you see a young 25 year old having and using one of those heavy tube t.v that not even old folkies even have anymore lol and yea having the kids standing there exactly where and when it decided to fall so it would have 2 victims for the price of one .. that is one up on beds, couch, bath tub, they only have one victim at a time.. boy he must be either very stupid or things that he is so clever nobody would question his excuse for the kids' injuries.

 

[zzouy]

Yeah I wondered about the tv type. I cannot recall the last time I saw a
‘Box’ tv. Lol I recall having a wood paneled zenith with 2 turn knobs that went “chunk chunk” when you turned it.

I did actually pull a medium sized tv onto myself when I was about 9 or so. I recall trying to get under it as it fell because I was so worried about getting in trouble if I broke it while my mom was at work.
