Georgia home-schooled girl punished with shock collar because ‘the Bible
says’

Georgia teen forced to wear shock collar

A Georgia couple was arrested this week on charges of child cruelty and
false imprisonment after their 15-year-old daughter told authorities
that she was forced to live in a chicken coop and wear a
remote-controlled shock collar.

The 15-year-old, who was *home schooled*, reportedly said that her
adopted parents, Samuel and Diana Franklin, punished her for not
finishing school work by spending up to six days at a time in the
chicken coop behind their house in Butler over the past two years.

Chicken coops are known to have high levels of ammonia (PDF) which can
be dangerous to both humans and animals.

Authorities said that the girl was also forced to do manual labor and
spend time in a 4-foot-wide outhouse.

“I’ve never seen anything like this personally,” Georgia Bureau of
Investigation Agent Wayne Smith explained. “If the allegations prove to
be true, it’s a very severe case.”

A shock collar was found at the home when the parents were taken into
custody on Tuesday. The girl said that a device similar to one that
remotely locks and unlocks cars was used to activate the collar and
punish her with jolts of electricity.

Authorities said the device appeared to match the description provided
by the girl. The collar and a leather belt were being examined at a
crime lab for DNA evidence.

Diana Franklin told one neighbor that she was “doing what the Bible
says” by punishing the girl for not doing chores the “right way,”
according to KLTV.

Diana Franklin was charged with four counts of false imprisonment and 12
counts of cruelty to children. Samuel Franklin also faces charges of 8
counts of false imprisonment and 8 counts of cruelty to children. Both
parents were released on bond on Thursday.

Georgia home-schooled girl punished with shock collar because ‘the
Bible

Georgia teen forced to wear shock collar

A Georgia couple was arrested this week on charges of child cruelty
and
false imprisonment after their 15-year-old daughter told authorities
that she was forced to live in a chicken coop and wear a
remote-controlled shock collar.

The 15-year-old, who was *home schooled*, reportedly said that her
adopted parents, Samuel and Diana Franklin, punished her for not
finishing school work by spending up to six days at a time in the
chicken coop behind their house in Butler over the past two years.

Chicken coops are known to have high levels of ammonia (PDF) which
can
be dangerous to both humans and animals.

Authorities said that the girl was also forced to do manual labor and
spend time in a 4-foot-wide outhouse.

“I’ve never seen anything like this personally,” Georgia Bureau of
Investigation Agent Wayne Smith explained. “If the allegations
prove to
be true, it’s a very severe case.”

A shock collar was found at the home when the parents were taken into
custody on Tuesday. The girl said that a device similar to one that
remotely locks and unlocks cars was used to activate the collar and
punish her with jolts of electricity.

Authorities said the device appeared to match the description
provided
by the girl. The collar and a leather belt were being examined at a
crime lab for DNA evidence.

Diana Franklin told one neighbor that she was “doing what the Bible
says” by punishing the girl for not doing chores the “right way,”
according to KLTV.

Diana Franklin was charged with four counts of false imprisonment
and 12
counts of cruelty to children. Samuel Franklin also faces charges
of 8
counts of false imprisonment and 8 counts of cruelty to children.
Both
parents were released on bond on Thursday.

Wow, just read the article. A "neighbor" said they were bible thumpers,
and of course in true progressive fashion, harry ran with it because it
allowed him to spread more hate.... Sick puppy that harry krause...


When you see the words Bible thumper you know immediately, the writer is
bigoted, morally corrupt, unintelligent, and has nothing worthwhile to
say. Why would any thinking person read further? Harry cuts and pastes
this crap because he is unable to think for himself; and you've seen
what a lousy writer he is.

Who decides who is or who is not a "bible believer"?


Certainly not them, and for someone who doesn't believe in the Bible,
but picks and chooses what they want to condemn the scripture, I truly
doubt you're really qualified either.


Oh, an aside.

I don't "condemn" what you call "scripture," which is, after all,
nothing more than what religious believers of any faith think is
"sacred," or even central to their faith. To the extent that "scripture"
instructs mankind to "do good," "help others," "judge not," et cetera,
it is a positive influence. When "scripture" is used to justify hate,
exclusion, selfishness, wrath, et cetera, it is a negative influence.

Unfortunately, there's plenty in "scripture" that can be interpreted or
misinterpreted hundreds of different ways, some good, some not so good,
and too often the "not so good" is used as a rationale for aberrant,
anti-social behavior.

There's no need to cite examples...I'm sure you know exactly what I
mean. And there's no shortage of bible believers who use the bad as
their credo.

And who is a bible believer? An accurate answer would be "anyone who
says he or she is."

I've read "the bible" more than a few times. I think some of it reflects
an attempt to write down some of contemporaneous history and moral
coding, as it were.

But to "believe" in the bible as something more than words written down
by man, edited by man, and put into "accepted" volumes by man, well,
*that* crosses the line into religious superstition.

And naturally, not many look at the good that Christians would do
especially those who would wish to make some kind of dis
accreditation. After all, who wants to read something boring like
that!

, But rather those who want to show a dim view Christians would
rather concentrate on the bad. ie. Those who 'call' themselves
"Christians" and those who would pervert and miss use the Bible.

Therefor, we all get put in the same group.

, But rather those who want to show a dim view Christians would
rather concentrate on the bad. ie. Those who 'call' themselves
"Christians" and those who would pervert and miss use the Bible.

Therefor, we all get put in the same group.

Well, Tim, I'm not aware of any rules that say who can or who cannot
read the bible and then decide that if they wish to spread hate and
evil, they can find whatever justification they think they find in that
book.

You, obviously, make a lot more out of the bible than I do. To me, it's
an interesting book, written, edited and "adjusted" by men that, in the
King James version, at least, uses beautiful language to tell its
stories and histories and superstitions and so forth. It also contains
its share of absolute absurdities. You probably accept many of these as
articles of faith. Your privilege.

I'm glad you brought that up, Harry. It's fascinating that you never
or should I say 'rarely, point out any of the good of the Bible, yet
are quick to choose it's verses that you interpret to be nothing but
blood, bigotry, hatefulness, incest, *anti-science, slavery, down on
women and the like. Then, it shows everyone here that is what you feel
the Bible stands for,


People use their own judgement to decide what the good parts are and
reject or rationalize away the parts they don't agree with. *It is not a
big leap to realize that we are capable of deciding what is good on our
own based on real world consequences.


All sorts of horrific behavior has been "justified" by bible readings.


* *justified? *Well, I suppose it depends on how you want to look at it,
eh?


Many of those who do "evil" claim they find their justification in the
bible. Of course, they think they are doing what the bible tells them to
do.


So, they get blended in with those who do righteously because the too
are 'bible believers?


And naturally, not many look at the good that Christians would do
especially those who would wish to make some kind of dis
accreditation. *After all, who wants to read something boring like
that!

Definite articles of faith. Like the absurdity of Bumblebees flying
(they ain't supposed to, y'know) or mammals laying eggs, that is
unless your a Platypus or an ant eater.. Definite articles of
unexplained science. If you want to accept these. Your privilege.

But, even that explanation has been held in question.

"Based on these experiments we concluded that the [Cambridge]
hypothesis cannot explain the attachment of the vortex throughout the
stroke," said Professor Dickinson. So how does the bumblebee fly? "We
still don't know for sure" - and the bumblebee flies anyway.

The bumblebee drinks a lot of ethanol.

"The data support an alternative hypothesis—that downward flow induced
by tip vortices limits the growth of the leading-edge vortex."
