Wondering if the mama took out an order of protection on behalf of her son, so he doesn’t have to deal with him and can feel safe? Does the boy have a child advocate that can help him? There is the story!

Bond is set initially by arresting officer. You give officer a hard time…more than likely he will return the favor

@Maxwell Edison—– I understand what bond is for and how the entire process works. It’s just stupid how bond is discretionary depending on the judges mood.
I pulled two peoples records who were arrested for the same crime within the last 24hrs. Neither has an extensive criminal history, nor have failure to appear, or bond jumping issues. For felony Larceny of the 3rd degree, one had a bond of $2,500 and one $1,500.
I listened to your explanation to the legal explanation of bond purposes. However, i know for a fact it’s used by judicial personnel as punishment or to make it harder to defend the case against a given person. That being said, let’s go with the intended definition of bond. It would seem in this case, a LEO would have a much higher bond than the average criminal as the LEO has much more to lose, much more likely to run in the event of a guilty verdict, and in the event of the aforesaid, knows the system and the policies and procedures that would enable him to get away with much more success than the average joe if he chose to do so.
Now whats the defense for him ?

You people don’t have to see this poor child and what this man has done to him. His face is bruised not to mention other things that are not listed on the news. He has to live with what his father has done to him. This is not innocent until proven guilty this is guilty. You do not know the whole story therefore stop defending this man. Yes he is law. Enforcement but he deserves he to treated with cruel punish as this little boy did not deserve it. He did nothing wrong.

@ chris; John Q public would have been charged with aggravated child abuse because he used a weapon ( i.e. the table) to inflict injury.

M and Chris,
The purpose of a bond is to make sure someone shows up in court. It is not to punish someone. That is what sentencIng is for.He is presumed innocent until and unless he is found guilty. At that time, if it happens, a judge will punish him. Until then, he should be able to be free on bond.
