A churchgoing former child-abuse prosecutor and his wife allegedly beat their naked 8-year-old daughter for hours with a belt -- leaving bruises and puncture wounds on the girl's arms and legs...
Norman White, 34, and Alegra White, 27, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, surrendered late Thursday after the third-grader told her teachers.
Wednesday's beating may have lasted up to seven hours, said sources...
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound White worked in the Brooklyn DA's Office from September 2001 to June 2003 and spent his last year there in the Crimes Against Children Unit.

“A churchgoing...”
They jump to put it out when an evil person is a Christian. They go to incredible lengths to hide it when the monster is a muslim.
If guilt is proven - these people should be punished, and punished well. Now, what about the daughter? How do we NOT punish her?
So true.
If this is true, the parents need a beating.
If it isn’t, the media does.
That being said, what kind of animal beats a child for seven hours?
This kind of article gives corporal punishment a bad name. People want to lump all discipline in with this kind of abuse.
A spanking administered calmly can do a world of good to turn a child back on the “path of righteousness” so to speak.
Beating a child is NEVER justifiable.
And the teachers never noticed any bruises on the child?
It's feasible, if the parents beat the child on parts of the body that would normally be covered by clothing.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I noticed that as well.
If he was an atheist, would they have pointed that out as well?
I don’t think so.
You'd wonder how a child could survive that kind of beating for SEVEN hours.
They're animals for beating her like that. Leaving bruises and puncture wounds is inexcusable. However, I have a hard time imagining that there'd be anything left of her after seven hours.
The truth is probably somewhere in between.
Let not your heart be troubled, Metmom. The Bible foretold that secrets would be shouted on the rooftops. This is a no-holds-barred “tell all” moment in history. No one is safe — NO ONE — from suddenly having his or her darkest secrets revealed worldwide in minutes.
If this is the worst that Anti-Christians can drag up, we win. In fact, I believe Christianity will rise up like never before. People are learning that the Bible is no fairy tale.
Prophesies are proven to be amazingly accurate, things predicted beyond he comprehensions of the the ancient mind. This will ultimately scuttle all other religious and anti-religious beliefs. We are on the brink of a new and wonderful age. FRegards .....
Yes agreed. I wasn’t thinking about a continual seven hour beating but that it was drawn out over a seven hour period.
You are right, no child should ever have to go through that. I am so sorry that happened to you. I couldn’t imagine. When a parent takes their anger out on a child that is abuse.
Discipline comes from love and a desire to see the child do the right thing. My guide for how I discipline my children has always been this scripture. Hebrew 12:11 “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
If I get angry and spank them, that will produce bitterness even if the spanking is less severe than when done calmly. If I calmly explain, calmly spank, and hug, kiss and pray with them afterward, I always see peace and righteousness restored.
Oh, and if he was Muslim? Oh yeah, they'd be publishing the phone number and address of his mosque! Riiiiiight.
