Joseph Childers - Wonder what happened - if Alcohol or Drugs were involved in the Incident.
I am afraid that Mr. Childers Job with the Diamond School as Resource Officer is Over and possibly his Position with Newton County Sheriff's Office.
All it takes is One Stupid - Decision and Action - Just One to Flush your Life Away.
Wow, I would have never seen this coming. I honestly thought he was a great human being
40% of cops commit DV. Not shocked.
Speaking on behalf of the family. I can’t go into detail it was a misunderstanding and I have no doubt he’s gonna be released soon. Do not judge based on what you see.
I sure hope so. My kids adore him at their school.
Your comment is almost identical to the one you made about the stabbing in McDonald county. Judging people you don't know, about things you have no direct knowledge of. Your mother and our Lord must both be proud that you live a sober life free of stupid decisions.
7:03AM - Your comment on - "Just a Misunderstanding", is a very well used Excuse in Domestic Violence Cases.
Any type of Domestic Violence is Serious, especially for a Sheriff's Office Deputy - who should have known better and should not have put themselves in that situation. What kind of Example does this set - especially if his Charges are Dropped - Are they giving him Special Treatment for being a Newton County Sheriff's Deputy - This should not be just swept under the Rug - this is Very Serious Situation.
So - NO This is not "Just a Misunderstanding" - This is a Crime that is committed way to much - When will people learn to "Just Walk Away" - Don't Initiate, Don't Intimidate, and Don't use any type Physical or Violence against another.

To 11:30 a.m. Anonymous- If that question is aimed at me, I provided my source of information in the post.
Was asking for the source of the 40% DV number.

It's not a misunderstanding. It's happened before. Stop making excuses for abusers.
Thank you. Very interesting read and disturbing. I wasn't doubting you, only wanting to educate myself further.
