Putting Daughter In Cage

James Tapke bound his 12-year-old daughters hands and feet with duct tape and locker her in a dog cage. He then dropped water on her face while she was in the cage. She was kept in the cage for about 20 minutes until her 13-year-old brother let her out. Then she went and dropped water on her fathers face and in his ear. He then performed the entire process over again and stuck her back in the cage. He told his son to go and get an electrical jump pack that was in their garage so that he could electrify the cage. The son brought it and set it in front of the cage so that she could see it. Although James never actually electrified the cage, he threatened many times. During the time that she was in the cage, James and his son took pictures of the scene. His son posted them on Facebook, but they were deleted. In court, James's attorney told authorities that it was a joke. "We believe the evidence will eventually show that this was simply some horseplay that ended up, you know, taking pictures." Jackson said. "It just doesn't look that funny when you see it in pictures ... Maybe not the best joke in the world, but I believe that's what is going to come out later at trial." "Judge, if this is a joke, it's about the most unfunny joke I've ever heard," said assistant prosecutor Matt Broo. James was charged with child endangering.

This man is completely insane. That is not a JOKE! It's TORTURE!!! He's psychotic, and obviously he passed that to his son.
