Over 100 wounds found on abused 5-year-old girl
Ezra Hazell, a military man, would regularly beat his 5-year-old girl with his nylon military belt. Her step-mother, Kristie Hazell, would not discourage this behavior, as a matter of fact; she’d join in the beatings with a computer cord.
The 5-year-old girl was beat regularly… so often in fact, over 100 wounds were found on her tiny body.
She would often be placed in the push up position with a book in front of her. If she didn’t pay attention or didn’t know what certain words meant, she’d be beat.
It’s going to be difficult to escape charges when the police describe this case as the worst they have ever seen.
The girl and her two younger sisters are now under the care of child protective services.

Poor baby. I never so much as spank my son. I would love to know where the biological mother is and if she is abusive as well. These 2 should rot in prison. Pieces of shit!

Never mind… The mother abused her too. That is how the little angel ended up with these 2 monsters. They claim that she was out of control. Here is the article.

Imagine being the police officer, nurse or doctor who had to count every one of those 100 wounds on her poor little body. Imagine wanting to kiss her tears away … then leave the room and beat the living hell out of the monsters who did this to her.
I have so much respect for the police officers who encounter this kind of horror and show the self restraint not to just take their service revolvers and put down the animals who perpetrated the abuse.

Thank goodness that this angel didn’t have any internal injuries (except those to her mind), and also that her siblings weren’t injured (although living in that kind of terror has to be it’s own kind of hell). As for these s.o.b.’s, I don’t believe anything short of being beaten everyday in prison (please let them spend a long, long time there) would be suitable for these ignorant p.o.s.’s.

The biggest aplause here goes to the NURSE who saw what was going on and wasn’t afraid to report it right away! We need more people in this world like this nurse, we see all too often too many people looking away and not reporting true cases of abuse because of whatever reasons. First of all, this man, since he’s a “military man” should be allowed to be punished in the same manner that he punished his daughter by his fellow military personnel, after all, we have people out putting their lives in danger in other countries who dearly miss their kids that they haven’t seen in a year or so, so let these men and women have a swing at him a few times. Second, surely he’s not going to try to claim that this is how he was trained in the military, I know the military can be tough on training people, but if this is how he was treated by a drill sargeant, then he should have reported it, not try to continue the cycle with his kid, after all, even the military doesn’t stand for abuse among their own! As for the stepmother…..let the women at the jail beat her with a computer cord! My brother “disciplines” his kids with pushups, sittups, etc (I don’t agree with it myself!), I haven’t seen him beat them though while their doing it, but he does yell at them the whole time, and he does it the majority of the time to his oldest daughter (while stepmom stands back and doesn’t say anything), while his two youngest kids he just yells at alot. I have gotten in his face numerous times over all of this, asking him what happened to talking to his kids instead of yelling, and asking him what he hopes to prove by making her do all these things, the way I see it, he should be scared, because he’s building up her muscles to where one day, she might just knock him on his ass! As a society, we have gotten “creative” with our ways of “disciplining” our children, and in turn, seem to be doing more harm to them, all because the old fashion ways of disciplining are considered too rough. My brother states he wants his kids to be afraid of him, so they aren’t trying to sneak behind his back to do things, etc, I told my brother..I don’t want my kids afraid of me, but I want them to be afraid of the consequences for their actions…if they steal, I want them to be afraid to lose their freedom and going to jail, I want them to be afraid of how drugs will mess up your body and your life, but despite all of the consequences they’ll face for their actions, I don’t want them to fear me, but have a respect for me and what is expected of them, and my methods seem to work better then his in this regard (his kids sneak behind his back all the time doing things, and he has no clue until someone comes up and tells him or he finds something in my nieces purse she didn’t pay for, etc, once they’ve gotten home, my kids however come talk to me about stuff in their life, I have not had anyone come up to me and tell me….I caught your son doing this or that…..everyone always compliments me on the fact that my son is usually the one telling others they shouldn’t be doing what their doing and walking away, or my son won’t say anything but will walk away and quietly tell someone whats going on!). A perfect example…..my son was about 5 years old, he tried to take something from a store. I found the stuff in his pocket before we left the store and made him go appologize to the manager for trying to take it (we hadn’t even left the store yet!), then once we got in the car, I sat quietly for the longest time, then, I told my son that I thought he was on to something, that we could work as a team stealing stuff, starting out with small things, then work our way up to bigger things like cars and houses…he was sitting in the backseat getting excited, jumping in with ideas of his own, etc. Then, I got quiet again, and started crying….he asked me why I was crying, and I told him because although it all seemed like such a good idea, I was just thinking about all the things we would be leaving behind if we got put in jail….then I went on to explain how our puppy wouldn’t have us anymore, we wouldn’t have our house, we wouldn’t have our swingset, how we would lose everything, including each other, and would be in jail. By the time I was done, I knew I had made my point VERY well, he was crying so hard and saying he was so sorry for wanting to steal things, shoot, even when we got home he hugged the dog, his toys, everything, and said he didn’t want to lose all of these things and how he didn’t want to be away from me, so he was not ever going to steal again! And he hasn’t! He’s 16 now, and he works hard to make his own money and buy the things he wants, and he takes care of his things, he understands how important it is to work hard and cherish the things you love most in life…familly, friends, etc, and even today, if we end up with an extra sandwich in our bag that we didn’t pay for, he’s always quick to ask me….are you going to give that back to them, we didn’t pay for it (lol). Sorry for the ramble, but I really feel that people today just don’t get what it means to be a parent, and more importantly, AN EFFECTIVE PARENT! Our children shouldn’t be afraid of life, they shouldn’t be afraid of us as parents, we should be teaching them to embrace life for all it has to offer, to treasure the blessings we’re given, and to count on us to teach them the correct way to be in this world no matter how cruel this world can seem at times! I could go on but I won’t, this has gotten long enough! lol

After reading/skimming most of Susan’s entry, I totally forgot what this article was even about.

She seemed to be loving toward the child that looked like m ay be a special needs child. I that that takes a very compassionate child to be understanding of a child with special needs. How could a child so sweet and tender have “behavior problems”???

I am not an evil person but in a perfect world, the best punishment for these two would be a couple hundred lashings. See how they like it.

Which one is the child that was beaten??? Is it the older one in those pics?? She seems quite happy which is ironic.

That’s what I thought. She looks like such a happy, sweet child… To think that she was placed with these animals because her mother was abusing her. Hopefully she is in a loving home with lots of love and kisses.
