Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1415

Tonight's special guest is Jimmy King from Booneville, Arkansas. Both his parents died when he was a child. He was molested by his brother's friend. Sent to a boy's home as a teenager for 'mischief' Jimmy was later forced to live with his half-brother and his family. Adulthood brought him into the world of drug and alcohol abuse. As he's been dealing with his own recovery the other shoe dropped. Now his children are threatened by his ex-wife. "This has been and still is the most horrifying and terrifying time in my life, even after signing protection papers to keep me and my son and daughters safe." Jimmy shares that the law enforcment, judges and lawyers have all had a hand in assisting his ex-wife's threatening behavior. "In August of 2014 she took my son to the Judge's house where they almost beat him to death," he says. "Then the Sheriff's department tried to hide the beatings from me while local police have tried to cover the abuse in their jurisdiction." Jimmy goes on, "My ex-wife is allowed to hit my son, or threaten him with another beating, and even having threatens to have me killed .. and is not being punished by the system." He's not seen his son since late 2015, "..when my daughter and her boyfriend snuck him over and my sister-in-law made sure that the cops that abused him, his drug addicted abusive mom and her friend found out." Jimmy's at his wit's end over all this. "My son, daughter and granddaughter are still in great danger just being in that house." He says his ex-wife will do anything to keep from going to jail and having to admit to their oldest daughter the truth about what she has done and what has happened since.
