Palin a child abuser

You have become that which you vilify.

So the brother-in-law is like a child? Well, too bad there wasn't an investigation to see if the allegations against him had any truth! Tasering his stepson? If true ... THAT'S CHILD ABUSE!

I saw and heard a well-dressed 30-some guy at a local fast food here talk to his maybe 12-year-old son about living with him instead of "mom". It was just the two of them and I had to feel sorry for the son as "dad" was literally bullying his son! Then "dad" calls "mom" on his cell phone and tells her that she only wants the son with her for child support ... right in front of the son.

What an ignoramous! This is NOT the way to conduct "family business"!

Just saying.


So further in that article:

The Palins later raised allegations about Wooten with public-safety chief Monegan, according to an account Monegan gave to The Washington Post. Last February, a top Palin gubernatorial aide named Frank Bailey criticized Wooten in detail in a conversation with another senior state-police official. Bailey repeated previous charges made by the Palins against the trooper—including allegations that he had Tasered his stepson; driven a cop car while holding a beer; and shot a moose without a permit (charges which resulted in his suspension for five days without pay as a trooper). But Bailey also made a new allegation: that Wooten might have submitted a questionable workers' compensation claim. The state police recorded Bailey's conversation, and Palin later released it after Monegan's sacking.

Palin and Bailey both said that Palin did not instigate Bailey's complaints about Wooten to the police. Bailey, who is now on paid leave from his state job, has said that in trashing Wooten to state police management, he had "overstepped my boundaries … I should not have spoken for the governor, or Todd, for that matter."

In a press release issued last week by her new lawyer, Palin continued to attack the character of Wooten—still serving as a state trooper in Palin's hometown of Wasilla. The release repeats allegations that Wooten had threatened members of her family, including her father, with violence; that Wooten had threatened to "bring" Palin and members of her family "down;" and that Wooten had once been the subject of a court-imposed domestic-violence protection order. A court filing by Wooten's lawyer indicates that within months of being issued, the violence protection order was dismissed.
