HELP....I need an attorney who is in St. Marys county.

Hello all,

My partner and I were camping this weekend at Point Lookout as we had an additional day, because our daughter was off of school on Friday. We left Thursday night and set up camp. Friday morning we showered and headed to the store (Shoppers off of rt 5). Once we got inside our daughter was acting up (As 6 yr olds will do) and continued, I warned her that if she continued, she would get a spanking, she continued and I smacked her on the bottom and walked her out of the store and picked her up and carried her to the car. She continued in the car as we sat and waited for my partner to finish shopping. I spanked her in car and she continued her outburst. She then began to settle down and we talked about it and went back into the store to catch up with my partner. We finished shopping and went to the car which Destiny and I sat waiting for my partner to go to the dollar store for a couple more items. When we were leaving the parking lot we heard sirens and moved over, only to discover they were for us. I followed their direction and pulled over off of the street.

We had an officer approach the car very anger and Hot!! I got out of the car with my wallet in hand and he started screaming. I was on the ground with a cut on my forehead and a kick in the side of my chest by Officer George of the Sheriff Dept. A woman, who called the police was at the site where we were and my partner said she opened the back door and took our daughter out of the car and over to her vehicle. without any police. A total stranger. I must have an attorney this week, who can handle this and has no problem with Gay dads. I tell you, we are lost, scared and don't know who to turn too. Our Daughter is the most important person in our world. We have and continue to focus our lives around who we are as a family and we have a great family. My daughter as well, had no marks, no red spots, nothing. All this is based on the history of one woman, who when my partner went up to get Destiny, said what are you doing, she said who are you and he said, "I am her Daddy" and the woman replied I thought he was (Pointing to me on the ground from the sheriff) her Dad. My partner told her "she has two Dads, now butt out".

I was charged with 2nd degree Child Abuse which is a felony and up to 15 years in prison. We are fairly new here in Maryland (From Michigan) and I am very scared of what could happen.

I don't like to give out such detail, but I also know when I need help. If anyone can assist, please let me know. And if you know anything about St. Mary County legal system, please tell us. I must be in court in just 10 days, so I appreciate any and all input.

I do believe in God and I have been in prayer a lot over the weekend. We were with other people camping and we were so grateful to have them with us. Family is what we are about and now we, including my Daughter are scared of the police.

I was listening to this on my Police scanner. If the police approached you and was aggrivated it was because you did not pull over when they hit you with the lights. In the state of Maryland you are required to pull over 'Immediately' no matter where you are. You pulled out of San Souci Parking lot where the officer already was behind you with his lights on, your turned onto 235 and proceeded south with with the officer behind you and then pulled over into the Mountain Mud Parking lot. If they light you up and you do not pull over riight then and there then they automatically call it in as though you are refusing to stop. That on top of what had already taken place probably aggrivated the officer.

Also getting out of the car is not a good thing. When you did not pull over immediately then procedded to get out of the car once you did I am sure the officer went into a defensive posture. Write or wrong I don't know but in all likelyhood possible. They tend to not like it when they pull you over and you decide to get out of the car.

I am not sure about the Disciplining your child laws in Maryland. But I know all it takes is one phone call to the police and they take this very seriously. And They use their discretion on what to do. With the report of the child being 'disciplined, you not pulling over, getting out of the car. It sounds ike one thing after the other made this situation worse and worse.

For the Child Disciplining I think you may have a chance with the right lawyer. For the other stuff I suspect you may not be as lucky.

Why do people take their children to a public place when they are known to misbehave?

The option was here for the father to leave the BRAT in the tent with the other parent while the other picked up supplies.

I have never understood why the police get upset when you gewt out of the car.

Years ago they asked you to get out. If you remain in the car many hiding places are available for a weapon. When you get out they can see if you have one or not.

Of course they used to hire men who were 5'10" or better and could handle themselves. I suppose a grown man standing next to a 100 lb 5'4" woman wearing a gun that looks like its going to drag the ground, loaded down with a radio and mace is a bit intimidating. Still I dont see the big deal.

Child Abuse is a sensitive subject for me. There is a difference between discipline and abuse. I do not like how the two have become a combined term these days. Beating the #### out of a child is abuse. Smacking the child on the butt is discipline, if done appropriately due to the childs actions.

Children should be disciplined, and I don't care if the parents are gay or straight. :shrug:

If you have a nasty kid, leave it at home with somebody else.

NONE of us are allowed to spank in public anymore. Gay or straight.

Equal opportunity.

If you have a "Nasty Kid" the problem is from within, my point was in the first sentence they said "my partner" and I...I think it was something like that... Agenda.

And who really knows, maybe just maybe that kid sees something "wrong"..there?

But the fact that the poster felt the need to mention it tells me that he thinks it's a determining factor. By making sure everyone knows he's a gay man, he's trying to paint himself as a victim, which tells me that he probably did a bit more than spank the child.

If you, Wench Woman, got arrested for spanking your child in public, and then posted about it on these forums, would you feel the need to mention that you are a heterosexual?

Of course you wouldn't.

You can read between the lines to see that he's minimizing his actions:

I smacked her on the bottom and walked her out of the store and picked her up and carried her to the car. She continued in the car as we sat and waited for my partner to finish shopping. I spanked her in car and she continued her outburst. She then began to settle down

I'm picturing an angry man and screaming child. When a spanking makes the situation worse, he grabs her and shoves her in the car where he smacks her again. She finally gets scared enough that she cowers in terror and shuts up. In his mind he has resolved the situation.

He's using his sexual preference in hopes of portraying his prosecution as a persecution of gays. He's so accustomed to being a victim that even when he is the perpetrator he still tries to hide behind victim status. He's the worst of the worst.

I'm sure there will be people who support him because they cannot see past his sexuality and see the child abuser he really is.

I just feel sorry for the kid. I hope she's physically okay, and I can just hope for the best emotionally.
