JACKSON, Wis. -- A Washington County man is accused of using an electric shock collar on his 8-year-old stepdaughter.

A criminal complaint said Majeres attached the electric dog collar to his stepdaughter's leg and shocked her because she was eating her breakfast too

A staff member at the girl's school noticed marks on the girl's thigh and contacted police and social services.

According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, the stepfather also threatened to shoot the girl's pet rabbit because he said she does not
take adequate care of the animal.
The mother is calling the daughter a liar, yet she was the one who threatened her by saying if she did not hurry up she would wake up her stepfather,
yet the mother was not charged. What is wrong with this picture?
Kudos to the school staff member, who noticed the marks on the child’s leg and bringing this to the attention of authorities.
You do not want to know what I would do with that shock collar if I had a chance to use it on the stepfather, trust me I would not put it on his leg.
Unfortunately all he stands to get is perhaps 6 years in jail and up to a $10,000 fine. If it were me I would lock the SOB up for life and throw away
the key.
