All Your Children Belong To The Regime !   That’s the insufferable mindset behind this video.   Mind your own damn business and raise your own damn kids.   Sorry, but I will take the minority position on this one, withold judgement, and say that the neighbor is nothing but an insufferable prog busy-body until more information is revealed.
You will note that while no-one has an issue arresting the father, putting him in jail, trashing his name all over the media etc etc…  They protect the identity of the neighbor.  Why is that?   If the neighbor is doing the right thing then why does he need to hide behind anonymity, and further if he is so committed to what he saw and believes then why hide? 
Nope, right now until further information comes out, if ever, I am not going to join a parade of people passing judgement on the person who didn’t know they were being videotaped in the privacy of their own back yard.   Think about it.   Where does that end.? 
CALIFORNISTAN –  (CNN) — An elected official in California has been arrested on accusations of felony child abuse after a neighbor videotaped him beating his stepson with a belt during a backyard game of catch, authorities told CNN Saturday.


Anthony Sanchez, 34, a director with the Imperial County Irrigation District, turned himself in to authorities Friday afternoon, said Imperial County Sheriff’s Lt. Scott Sheppeard.
The case will be presented to the Imperial County District Attorney’s office on Monday on whether a charge will be formally filed, Sheppeard told CNN.
Sanchez, a resident of Heber, was released Friday after posting bond on $100,000 bail, a jail clerk told CNN.
Sanchez is also a T-ball and soccer coach, CNN affiliate KGTV reported.
In an interview with CNN, Sanchez’s attorney, Ryan Childers, said that the man who’s videotaped whipping a boy with a belt is Sanchez.
But Childers said he doesn’t agree that the videotaped interaction between Sanchez and his 10-year-old stepson warrants the stiff charge of felony child abuse, which carries a maximum sentence of six years in state prison.
“Certainly the video is hard to watch. We acknowledge that,” Childers told CNN. “The question concerning that though is, was this criminal conduct under California law, and if so, is this the most serious type of child abuse? Is this an appropriate charge? What’s appropriate here and what is criminal conduct is what is the issue here.”
Sanchez was first elected in 2006 to the board of directors of the Imperial Irrigation District, a public water and electric utility, and was re-elected to another four-year term in 2010, according to the district’s website. He also serves as an adviser in a district ethics initiative.
Sanchez represents a geographical area that includes Heber, a 115-mile drive east from downtown San Diego and about five miles from the Mexican border.
“Mr. Sanchez has been a model citizen. He’s an elected official in our community. Up until this incident, his background is what you would expect of someone in leadership,” Childers said.
The videotape was made Wednesday, Childers said.
In the video, a neighbor holds a camera from inside the second story of a home, taping Sanchez and the stepson playing catch with a baseball.  (read more)
