A police officer in Wisconsin could spend years in prison if he is found guilty of abusing a 7-year-old girl so badly that she ended up in the hospital.
According to reports, on January 17, a 30-year-old Milwaukee police officer was at a home with a woman, a 4-year-old boy, and a 7-year-old girl. The children were told it was time to take a nap, but the girl did not fall asleep, and the man reportedly became angry. He allegedly grabbed a belt and struck her with it several times.
It was reported that the youngster was taken to the Children’s Hospital, but the exact reason for her visit was not made public at this time. While she was there, it was suspected that she was the victim of child abuse, and the authorities were notified.
