An investigation started on Thursday, April 3, after the child’s mother reported the battery. The boy’s father, Eric Richard, 44, reportedly called the mother to tell her that the boy was left with whelps on his arm after a spanking. An affidavit states that Richard had the child at his home over the weekend per a custody arrangement.
An EBRSO deputy detailed the injuries to the boy, which included bruises on his back, elbow, bicep, right forearm and right thigh and an open wound on the boy’s back. Arrest documents noted that the injuries were consistent with a belt’s shape.
The boy told investigators that “his dad whipped him hard,” with a brown belt while inside his dad’s home, according to the affidavit. The belt was found in the home after a search warrant was conducted.
Richard reportedly admitted that the spanking went “overboard.”
Richard was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Monday, April 7.
