U.S. soldier 'waterboarded his own daughter, 4, because she couldn't recite alphabet'

www.dailymail.co.u k

A U.S. soldier has been accused of 'waterboarding' his four-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet.
Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face - upwards - three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
Tabor, 27, admitted to investigators that his daughter was terrified of water and he had deliberately chosen the punishment.

As his girlfriend looked on he grabbed the child and placed her on the kitchen counter before submerging her face upwards into a bowl of water.

Police Sgt Rob Carlson said the punishment was carried out because the girl would not recite the alphabet.
When police spoke to the girl they noticed she had bruising on her back and scratch marks on her neck and throat.
When asked how she got the bruises, the girl replied: 'Daddy did it.'

Whoa, some horrible stuff here
What a sick individual treating a 4yr old that's terrified of water like this, this may permanently damage the poor girl and his girlfriend just watched it happen?

What a sick story

There is something going on with morals these days, or lack thereof.

My prayers are with the little girl

Wow, that is disgusting.

PTSD Much?

This is what happens folks when we send our soldiers to war and don't properly take care of them when they come back.

Poor little thing. They should waterboard him when he gets to prison, see how it feels.

She's gonna need some serious therapy. Ohh an thrown that bimbo of a girlfriend in jail as an accomplice too.

Inaction is guilty in my mind.

That's a terrible thing to do to a family member, that stuff should be reserved for enemy combatants, and jihad kiddies.

..but I wonder if she is now able to recite the alphabet as a result?

There are sick horrible people in all casts. This should not reflect on the whole. But if you gave me 3 minutes in a closed room with the guy, I guarantee he would never do it again.

it just isn't like the good old days of "enhanced interrogation" where the Nazi party could waterboard any old soul they wanted to.

Liberals, with their always going on about "human rights" and other such nonsense. This girl may have had information that could have potentially saved hundreds of lives, it's imperative that we know what comes before Z!

I knew this would happen . Chickens coming home to roost . Keep on applauding these 'heroes' as they oppress the 'sub human' rag heads in foreign lands . It'll all come back home again eventually .

What a terrible thing to do........lock both parents butts up. However, that's not water boarding, just so ya know. What he did was not condonable in any way, but I think your thread title is pretty misleading an inflammatory.

As per the Breaking News forum rules, the OP used the title of the article linked.

This is just ridiculous. Abuse is abuse, and hopefully, both the man and woman will be jailed, and the child will get the therapy that she will definitely need!

Yes because every single US service member is going to come home and do this to their children. Give me a break. This guy was a nutcase, end of story. He would have done something along these lines even if he had not been in the military. Crazy is crazy.

Right... and since it's not torture according to our government nothying will happen to this guy.

Now what would be interesting is if the Judge rules that waterboarding is torture. Then what does the government do?
This could open up some can o worms.

Individuals are just a part of the equation . You'll get a whole lot more of where that came from from ex Iraqi soldiers coming home, and you'll just call them one of a kind offbeat crazy individuals . Then you got LRAD , used for the untermenschen of Iraq , that came home . Then you got your terrorists abroad , well , now you got your US terrorists too , home and abroad . Ones they can take out just like that , poof . Just like in Afghanistan. It's all coming home baby, reap the whirlwind .

Yeah just keep bashing every soldier who risks their lives just because of one sick [*SNIP*]. It would be like me calling black people everywhere 'all a bunch of [*SNIP*] who just commit crimes and live on welfare' just because you see one's face on TV in America's Most Wanted.

Explanation: Can anybody give me explicit LEGAL and MEDICAL details on exactly how far a parent may go when PHYSICALLY diciplining their child/children?

I don't have any offspring but I would seriously like to know how far they [the parents] and or I [as a parent] could go as regards physical restraints, floggings, other etc! Where's/What's the standard and more specifically the extreme limits of that standard?

Once there is a standard of physical discipline agreed to by everyone [not the kids though!] then even if the standard includes provisions for executing naughty children for whatever reason, there should be no further problems!

Personal Disclosure: Seems the govenment is being a two faced [J]anus!
On one hand they want and promote the family unit and on the other hand they don't want the heads of that family unit to have any power at all.
Either the government is fully responsible and therefore should pay for and OPENLY run the whole family unit show or the government is not responsible at all and the entire burden should be placed on the parents and the government should 100% butt out and keep quite!

It's thread like this where you can see the absence of disinfowar agents.

Maybe you should add 'Muslim' to the thread title and watch the flood of hate.

US, Israel, UK are busy killing little children at point blank range and leaving depleted uranium to do further destruction for thousands of years. What do you think these people are? nothing but murderers for money that failed at school, got bullied and think they are someone.

EVERYONE is suffering because of the Banker's NWO. I mean EVERYONE.

So US soliders\murders can 'OORAH' at that.

Quick question!

How many of you ATS readers, now sitting gape-mouthed and horrified at the waterboarding of this little girl, were, right up until this thread advocating applying this to other people?

To each of you.. .I think you should stay consistent, and applaud this heroic soldier for his "tough love" parenting. After all, for the last several years, you've all been saying how harmless it is, and that our soldiers never do it to anyone who absolutely does not deserve it, regardless of their age or condition.

Would you be introducing racism into this conversation ? , I do believe you are interjecting emotional retorts based upon your base inability to otherwise contribute anything otherwise substantial to the otherwise empty retort . What else have you to say .. minus an emotional ejaculation .

come on, get real, it isnt a coincidence all of this is happening to soldiers nowadays

did you see all of these kinds of things happening this often with ww1 or ww2 or vietnam

those were real wars, not some games with radio controlled robots doing the fighting

these soldiers are being designed to be how they are, and we get shocked when they come back to society acting this way

pure ignorance on all sides

OMG These extremist Muslims are horrible people, they have no morals.. They are waging war on America and want to kill all those who don't convert. They are evil brutes who hate their women and abuse their children..

Oh, wait..

This thread would already have 500 posts if it actually was about a Muslim, though.
