Sentenced: 13YO Girl Testified That Her Father Punched & Kicked Her For Talking To A Boy On Social Media

[Sugar Cookie]

A 13-year-old girl testified that her Joplin father got mad at her last summer and physically abused her because she was interacting with a younger boy on Instagram.

The girl's testimony at a preliminary hearing was enough to convince Associate Judge Joe Hensley to order her 36-year-old father, Robert W. Mayfield II, to stand trial on a felony count of child abuse.

The girl, who now lives in another state, told the court that on July 30 of last year she accompanied her father to her grandmother's house for a visit. While there, her father became angry at her for contacting a boy on Instagram, hit her and told her to get out of his life, she told the court.

She said she left the house, but he followed her outside and asked her to come back. When she did, he pushed her to the ground and began punching, slapping and kicking her.

"Did that hurt?" Assistant Prosecutor Michael Schafer asked.

"Absolutely," the girl said.

"Did it leave bruises or marks on you?"

"Yes."

She testified that he chased her up some stairs of the house, hitting her grandmother in the process, and the grandmother called police.

Public defender Daniel Pawlowicz asked the girl on cross-examination if her father had been drinking, and the girl said: "Yes. Lots of drinking." She acknowledged she did not require medical treatment for her injuries, but she indicated she has been seeing a therapist in the aftermath.

Daddy is a bit of an abusive turd stain.
Adjust him with a 2x4 swung at high speed to his melon.

So but means boy now?
Sloppy.

The words probably hurt the girl as much as the punches and the kicks

He sounds like a jealous boyfriend; not a protective dad. You know, your daughter learns what to expect from men (and others in general) by how you act. At 13 boys and girls are getting very interested in the opposite sex or in relationships, period. They need guidance and advice; not beatings.

Doesn't sound like he was an everyday dad, just a visitation dad who also lived with his mother. It's not like he was ever that guidance and advice dad.
