Parents banished teen girl to tent after she ate a Pop-Tart, SC deputies say
DALZELL, SC (WNCN) — The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office arrested a husband and wife on child neglect charges Friday night after learning they were forcing their 14-year-old daughter to live in a tent in the woods more than a quarter-mile from their home. Crystal Lynn Driggers, 36, and James Allen Driggers, 33, both of the 3400 block of Ben Sanders Road in Dalzell, have each been charged with a single count of unlawful neglect of a child. Investigators learned the child had been denied entrance to her home for the past two days, and was expected to remain away from the home for a week, allegedly in an attempt to punish the child for eating a Pop-Tart. The full story is in the link below:
Now what kind of buffoonery is this? We done stories before where parents took drastic measures when punishing their children for EATING something. How serious was that pop tart? Did these parents forgot the dangers in leaving their child almost a mile away from their home ALONE in a tent? NO food is that important that they are willing to put their child’s life in danger just to punish them for eating it.
