Amen and Amen To what Yorkster said!
The only way the children will be protected is they are removed from the home. If he is cruel to animals, then no doubt he is to the children. I don't think the church would be willing to see that the children are removed from the home.
I think this is one of the worse animal abuse cases (that we know of) How many poor things are abused and nobody steps in to stop it.
In my area, a few months ago, a small kitten was put on a ourdoor grill and burned. A next door neighbor ran over and got it, but when he was taken to court, the woman said she didn't see anything. So, the person that did this got off !! I was upset about this for months!! How often does this happen!!! As we know this is the beginning of child abuse.
