Horrific new details emerge: ⤵️🧵
Bestselling Christian author Heather Thompson Day breaks down in tears after learning her charges; 'injury to a child by omission' which has a maximum sentence of a decade in prison.
According to arrest affidavits, the investigation began after their teenage daughter told a teacher that she had been physically abused by her father following an altercation. Police met with her and found lacerations to her face and neck, as well as bruising. She told officers that he had hit her in the face and body with her cell phone.
According to Child Protective Services, multiple reports were made against the couple over the years, with the last one a month prior. Adventist Today reports:
“The affidavits also allege that Heather Day was present and aware of the incident but did not intervene. The victim reportedly told investigators that Heather knew about previous injuries as well, but did not report them. She allegedly attempted to conceal the injuries by having the victim wear a face mask and telling medical professionals that she did not know how they had occurred.”
