The reason is you have not provided any type of evidence that would confirm what you have said.

Having a profile that says you are from McMinnville, TN means nothing.

I could create a profile that says Im posting from a secret moon base.
That doesn't mean im actually on the moon now does it?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 182970



You are right on there coward, but show me where I ever stated that my profile stating I am from McMinnville TN ever proved that I am this child's mother.
I stated I probably couldn't prove that to you, did I not?
I would like to ask you, what evidence can I show you to prove that I am in fact Julie Cox?
I'm not sure what I can give you that could still be 'fake' as this is the internet and anybody can be anybody.
So...ideas?

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
If you hit your teenage child, what happens when they hit you back?

What do you say to them? "Violence is bad?"

Violence leads to an acceptance of violence as a method of controlling behaviour that is considered unacceptable, and let's face it, one day they will be big and strong and in charge and you will be old and weak and defenceless - what then?

And isn't the gist of this site that we mostly want freedom from coercion by violent means? Why then would be teach our children to accept the edict that 'might is right'? THAT goes against everything that is free thought.

I'm interested in knowing more of the story. What kind of argument did your ex and daughter have? Has he beat her in the past and how often? What gave you the compunction to go to court and have him charged? Or did the police do this?

That is just disgusting.
He pulled up her shorts and left scratches and marks in her groin area as well as her posterior right thigh.
It was the officer who took the report's actual testimony on the stand that the judge made his report on.

Here are both stories from the southern standard (McMinnville's newspaper) to which I have an online subscription.

I'm posting both as well as the replies to the story from online subscribers (some are my and my daughter's replies)

1st one from 1/26/2008:
Father charged for spanking 16-year-old-Daughter claims he went too far
By DUANE SHERRILL
A father faces domestic assault charges after his 16-year-old daughter claims he went too far in spanking her during a family argument – a spanking the father says his daughter is blowing way out of proportion because she wants to go back and live with her mother.

The defendant, John T. Cox, will have to wait until Friday for a special judge to hear his case after he let it slip, during his time on the witness stand, that he was represented in his divorce by General Sessions Judge Larry Ross’ wife, Tami Poston Ross, thereby rendering him unable to continue hearing the case. An annoyed Judge Ross declared the hearing a mistrial after over 20 minutes of testimony Tuesday.

Earlier in the hearing, Cox’s eldest daughter maintained her father left marks on her buttocks and thigh during a severe whipping he gave her in which he allegedly landed 20 to 30 blows. She said he pulled down her shorts and used his hands to spank her.

Mr. Cox maintains he only landed a couple of blows to his daughter’s rear – after she cursed his girlfriend and took a swing at him.

The girl told friends and later a case worker at her school about the spanking, which prompted her mother to be called. She then went to the emergency room where an officer saw the marks, at least one of which was still in the shape of a hand.

The teen told the court the incident began after she told her father’s girlfriend not to give her little brother any more medicine because she had already administered the medicine.

“I was afraid she would overdose my brother,” the girl testified.

The altercation between the girl and her father’s girlfriend caused a fight between father and daughter which ended with the spanking, with both father and daughter having two dramatically opposing memories of the severity of the whipping.

“He pushed me over onto the floor and sat on top of me and started hitting me,” the girl testified.

Mr. Cox further suggested his daughter was lying about the severity of the spanking so she could live with her mother who, in turn, would allow her more access to her (the daughter’s) boyfriend. Mr. Cox said he found disturbing notes between his daughter and her boyfriend causing him to be wary of their relationship. Mr. Cox noted he was granted custody of his children, something he believes made his daughter mad.

“She said thank you afterwards,” Mr. Cox recalled, suggesting his daughter planned to use the whipping as a way to live with her mother.

Even though the hearing was nearly over when Mr. Cox made the revelation about who was representing him in the divorce, the entire case will have to be heard from its beginning by the special judge.

In my opinion this is another case of a child trying to be this boss and the sad part is I'm sure the father will be prosicuted for trying to make her mind.
By: treva1 on 1/28/08
I looked in The Holy Bible Placed by the Gideons in one of those motels and read this in Proverbs 13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
I agree with dolphinlady1966 and believe the child needed discipline as all children do.
Children today are raising themselves with parents both working and nobody home to watch them. Maybe this man was actually watching his child and doing his job as parent. I think, when all is said and done, we will find an unruly teen. Of course I could be wrong but I have children and know what they can get into.
I know of a child accusing her stepfather of molestation. This tore the entire family apart. Today, after the molested child grew up and has children of her own, her molestor babysits for her. Amazing what growing up will do for a child as opposed to what imaturity and unruliness will do when a teen decides to get rid of someone in the house.
Hope it works out for all concerned and everything is made right.

Putting bruises and leaving a handprint for 8 days is not a normal spanking.

By: protecting.mother on 2/3/08 [Delete]
Well I hope everyone now sees that the truth came out as I had hoped it would. I am the mother of the girl, and the soon to be ex wife of John.
As for those who felt they needed to bring the bible into this and make assumptions about the daughter I hope you have learned something from this.
People tend to make assumptions automatically about teenagers and how they are just wild and 'deserve' what they get.
You have no idea what my daughter has went through in his household.
It is ridiculous that I've been trying to divorce him for almost 2 years now and haven't seen my day in divorce court yet.
I'm just glad that justice is finally being served and the people will now see the truth.
(for the record I believe my daughter posted something under my name on here as well)



Second one from 2/3/2008:
Father given jail time for spanking-Judge rules Cox went too far in punishing girl
BY DUANE SHERRILL
A judge found a father went too far when he spanked his 16-year-old daughter, which will cost him two days in jail and leave him permanently banned from spanking his daughter.

The defendant, John T. Cox, was found guilty Friday by Special Judge Bratton Cook on the charge of domestic assault following his second hearing in two weeks. His hearing last week before General Sessions Judge Larry Ross ended in a mistrial after Mr. Cox revealed Ross’ wife, Tami Ross, was handling his divorce, prompting the judge to recuse himself due to conflict of interest after hearing almost all the evidence.

Cox was ordered to serve two days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence and attend anger management classes. He was also instructed to abstain from spanking or physically correcting his daughter when he has visitation.

Cox was charged after his daughter reported he had spanked her during a confrontation between the two which was sparked by a disagreement the daughter had with her father’s girlfriend. The teen said she had words with the girlfriend regarding her younger brother’s medication and that her father became angry.

At some point during the altercation, she said her father pulled up her shorts and struck her thigh area over 20 times leaving marks on her leg.

In response, Mr. Cox maintained his daughter brought the charge because she wanted to be returned to the custody of her mother. Mr. Cox said he had limited the contact his daughter had with her boyfriend due to disturbing notes he had intercepted, noting his daughter believed she would get to see her boyfriend more if she were in her mother’s custody.

Mr. Cox also maintained he spanked his daughter’s buttocks only two or three times, suggesting Friday that his daughter or her boyfriend may have manufactured the marks later to make him look guilty of abuse.

Given the conflicting testimony, Judge Cook based his decision to convict the father on the testimony of deputy Corey Knowles, who saw the injuries during the girl’s visit to the emergency room. Knowles testified he believed the marks had been left by significant strikes, more numerous than just two or three.

Mr. Cox may opt to appeal his conviction. A domestic assault conviction means the person has a lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm.

By: leka50 on 2/2/08
I think Mr. Cox had a right to spank his daughter. She lives with him and should follow the rules. Anyone that has or had a teenager, knows how they can be at times.
Now she knows she can do ANYTHING and he can't do a thing about it. Maybe the judge should take her home to raise for awhile!!!

By: protecting.mother on 2/3/08 [Delete]
i am the daughter...i thought we were going to lose seeing there were no pictures. I thank God for Corey Knowles. HE is a true christian man. I thank God for him. He is my hero. He knows a true spanking from a beating. I knew my God wouldn't let me go through any more of this. i never meant for this to happen. I just want to let people know that no child deserves this. I too believe in spanking and yes i did deserve a lot when i was a child and i am very mature for my age. You can ask anyone that knows me and they would tell you the same. i am very smart in my desisions and making a plan out of this would have been impossible.i didn't know he was going to do. If this is going to end up in an appeal i am not scared anymore. God on my side...the truths side... i don't believe anything can go wrong.

By: Nick on 2/3/08
If she were my daughter - she would lose cell phone and or have service terminated, undergo drug screening test, check hair or DNA for illicit substance abuse, remove her from any/all automobile insurance policy, and file a petition for unruley minor. If she were smoking I would have the store or seller arrested for selling cigarettes to a minor AND have her arrested for being in possession under 18/21 years old. If another student or person were buying cigarettes for her than I would have them arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law possible. Parents need to go on the offensive and stop being on the defensive. Maybe parents need to start appearing before the judge with a list of items attempted prior to using the unruley petition. Lastly, call the police or have child arrested and let them go to juvi and not bail them out. Let the system beat the system or let the system use the system. Kids never win!

By: dorothy on 2/3/08
I think that is what is wrong with our children of today. Taking the parent's rights away to punish their children. Maybe he was wrong but that should be his decision and not the courts. Look around you at the 16 year olds behavior - more could benefit from a swat on the bottom.

By: darrinandmelissa on 2/3/08
What's this world coming to when you can't give a kid a good lashing when they earn it.

This father may have saved his child from herself.

Shame on the court for not standing with him and allowing her to manipulate all the adults.

If left to her own ways I'm sure she will have a child of her own soon and she will see that her father was looking out for her best interest.



By: protecting.mother on 2/4/08 [Delete]
Nick,
You are making a lot of assumptions here. She isn't on any drugs, she doesn't drive, she wasn't being unruly. You just have no idea.
The media isn't giving you all the part where this falls under CHILD ABUSE.
When you 'spank' your child excessively and leave bruises and hand prints for over 8 days that is ABUSE.
Did you read the part where it says DOMESTIC ASSAULT?
This was not a spanking. It went far beyond that.
(again the mother of the girl speaking here)

By: protecting.mother on 2/4/08 [Delete]
tis is to NICK! This is the girls boyfriend. i say you have no right to say all those lies about her. she didnt do anything wrong. The father accused me of doing this to her. Which is NOT true.where in this story does it say that she was on drugs? this was not a spanking. this was abuse. she came to me the next morning afraid to tell me what happened and when i saw it there was blood drawn to the surface where he hit her so much. so dont make her out to be this person shes not.

By: protecting.mother on 2/4/08 [Delete]
it still hurts to see that you still don't understand. It never said or was said that i was unruly. if anyone is anyone they know that abusers try to look like the victims themselves. i'd like to see some posts on here from people that have been abused instead of these who obviously have no clue what it's like. It never said that i was a wild child or on drugs. where did that come from (speaking to other posts)...
I never tired to hurt my father. I was the victim... whether you believe that or not it's not my problem. I just wanted to say that the judge foung him guilty...your oppinions about me no longer matter to me. He was on the news and on the front cover. The message should be sayin "this child never deserved this." if it doesnt then there is something wrong with your conciounce. He's been convicted which proves him already. It's proved:::my father:::John T. Cox.::: is an abuser. so be it. im not happy about it. i wish i had a father. i really do.

I WANT TO BE A "DADDY'S GIRL"

Now i can never be. He never gave me the chance.

Long story as short as I can put it. We've been separated for close to 2 years, left him in 2006. Kids were at his house (have a temp. parenting plan) with him that night.
The argument was between his g/f and my daughter, he came in and went off on her b/c he thought she told his g/f to not give my son medication. My daughter (carrie) had already given my son medication and told the g/f if she gave him more that she'd overdose him. G/f goes huffing and puffing to 'daddy' who comes out and starts screaming at carrie who is sitting on the living room floor. My 2nd oldest daughter testified as well as she witnessed this.
Dad sat on Carrie and pulled up her shorts, put his leg over her and hit her 15-20 times, got up and said now is she still a liar, carrie says i didn't do anything wrong, if she told you i told her not to give him medicine she is lying, i told her if she gave him more she'd overdose him.
dad throws her back over on the floor and begins hitting her again several more times for a total of 20-30 hits on her posterior right thigh.
Yes he's assaulted me in the past and has had over 15 DCS investigations, been to jail for assault on me in 2003. Long story, lots of personal info and I would tell it all to the news people if I had the chance.
When I got a call from Carrie that morning (she was overnight at dad's) I went straight to the school. School nurse called DCS, told me to go to the ER. ER called DCS and police. We made the report and got an order of protection and had him arrested. This was 11/6/07 when he did this.
During his first testimony in court on 1/22/08 he made sure that judge ross knew tami ross (judge ross' wife) was his divorce atty which threw a mistrial.
John did it on purpose b/c he knew he was in trouble.
Of course we got the new judge, judge cook, on 2/1/08 and of course tami ross was rep. him that day.
He thought Tami ross would get him off.
She couldn't.
When the officer testified that he even went and called DCS after he left the hospital and the judge got major conflicting testimony from John and his girlfriend about what happened that night it was done, he knew John was lying.
And he was lying.

Seriously now, I wanted people to know the truth. You guys now do.
This wasn't just a typical spanking.
I'm not against spanking, I do it when I have to.
There is a difference between a spanking and child abuse.
What John did was/is child abuse.

She had his hand prints and bruises for over 8 days you guys.

That is what the people don't know.

it wasn't a spanking.

If you take the kids like that, it is called kidnapping. If you are ever caught, the other parent, no matter how bad, gets custody.

Better they are there half the time than all the time with no way out at all.

Not everybody gets to live a perfect life in perfect conditions with unlimited resources. It is wonderful if you can do, and get away with, anything you want, but not everyone has the same ability in our system.

Julie, don't stay here for this kind of crap the people on here are giving you. You've told them the truth and it's up to them whether or not the want to HEAR it. Fact is, people get away with abuse EVERY day because people choose to not want to hear the truth. You have friends on here who know you are telling the truth in who you are AND in what happened AND in your circumstances. You know where we are too. :D Don't let this people who are ignorant to the situation get to you.

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
The amount of gullible people on this forum that will believe every lie handed to them astounds me, but I find it highly entertaining :)


And the amout of gullible people who will take a news story at face value and not even seek truth before they flap their yap astounds me.
The part where they talking about him appealing and him being the one giving the story would have been a clue to me.Some people are just not bright enough to think"People do not go to jail in tn for a simple spanking,there has to be more".

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
Seriously now, I wanted people to know the truth. You guys now do.
This wasn't just a typical spanking.
I'm not against spanking, I do it when I have to.
There is a difference between a spanking and child abuse.
What John did was/is child abuse.

She had his hand prints and bruises for over 8 days you guys.

That is what the people don't know.

it wasn't a spanking.

That's all I want people to know. The truth.

I believe you. thanks for setting the story straight. He is a controlling asshole. The world is full of them. The smartest thing any of us can do is stay away from them. But when the court orders their participation in our lives, that becomes very difficult.

What is really sad is that they screw it up for all the really nice guys out there who wouldn't do such a thing, yet will be treated as though they might.

May this latest episode finally bring a modicum of peace to your family situation.

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
I am gone darlin, long gone. Order of protection is in place. It took a lot of fighting to get to where we are now and it had to come to this to get people's attention.
DCS took pictures at the hospital and just happened to 'lose' them.
The judge was very interested in how in the hell they lost the pictures of supposed child abuse, this was Department of Children's services you know.
It's a lot of drama and yes, I know, a lot to swallow.
Imagine the hell we've been through. Ugh.
That's why I want the truth about him out.
I'm going to contact the news stations and see if we can have a say in what was reported in the news. I think it's only fair.
 Quoting: protecting.mother 367802


Don't bother. The media around here is highly unlikely to let the truth get in the way of their story.
Take solacein knowing you've done a good deal of karma correction on that peckerwood ex, and concentrate on righting things for your kids.

Yep, the good guys will always pay the debt of the sons of bitches. It's not right, not fair, and just all around sucks.
Thank God for the good guys who know this, and still are able to remain good guys.

He didn't just spank her. He beat her. She had bruises and scratches on her that took quite some time to heal. He deserves more than what he got, the bastard.

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
The reason is you have not provided any type of evidence that would confirm what you have said.

Having a profile that says you are from McMinnville, TN means nothing.

I could create a profile that says Im posting from a secret moon base.
That doesn't mean im actually on the moon now does it?



You are right on there coward, but show me where I ever stated that my profile stating I am from McMinnville TN ever proved that I am this child's mother.
I stated I probably couldn't prove that to you, did I not?
I would like to ask you, what evidence can I show you to prove that I am in fact Julie Cox?
I'm not sure what I can give you that could still be 'fake' as this is the internet and anybody can be anybody.
So...ideas?

Re: Father given jail time for spanking 16-year-old daughter
Mr. Cox further suggested his daughter was lying about the severity of the spanking so she could live with her mother who, in turn, would allow her more access to her (the daughter’s) boyfriend. Mr. Cox said he found disturbing notes between his daughter and her boyfriend causing him to be wary of their relationship. Mr. Cox noted he was granted custody of his children, something he believes made his daughter mad.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 367802


This man had custody? After going to jail for assault on you in 2003?

Yes he's assaulted me in the past and has had over 15 DCS investigations, been to jail for assault on me in 2003.
