As reported by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, the two boys were misbehaving at Sunday morning services at a Marrero Church on Ames Boulevard. After church, investigators said, the boys’ mom brought them to see the pastor for what she thought would be a counseling session.
The next day, JPSO said its detectives were called to Woodmere Elementary School in Marrero to look into a child cruelty complaint. One of the boys complained of soreness to the school nurse, and the nurse discovered several dark red bruises and abrasions on his abdomen, arm and back.
The 10-year-old boy told detectives Smith beat him with a belt and that he cried and urinated on himself. Smith also beat his brother, JPSO said, but the boy’s injuries were not as severe. The boys’ mother told investigators that as a single mother, she often seeks the pastor’s assistance with family counseling, but said that the pastor never physically disciplined her sons in the past and she had no knowledge he was going to beat them.
Smith was placed under arrest and booked with cruelty to a juvenile and simple battery.
WAIT, THE MOTHER DIDN’T NOTICE HER SON URINATED HIMSELF BEFORE LEAVING THE CHURCH?

I received MANY whoopins as a child and NONE of them left marks or bruises. I’m gonna say that ol boy did too much. IMO of course.

This is absurd! A Pastor has no business ever beating anyone’s child. He does not need to be a Pastor if that’s how he thinks he can treat other peoples children! I sure wouldn’t trust him to be my Pastor!
