the second oldest of five children, to the Sandy fire station. The four were arrested and charged with manslaughter. Eldridge had been in Los Angeles at the time of his daughter's death. While investigating the death of Dayna, child welfare officials learned that 42 of the 53 children, all those who were older than five, were subjected to beatings of at least 100 lashes, and sometimes as many as 800 lashes, with paddles, an electrical cord, and chains.

They felt that the kids weren't being parented properly and that's not something we go out on. If we went out on every case of parenting skills, first of
