A Wisconsin teen was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the 2018 death of his 7-year-old relative, who prosecutors say was beaten and tortured for not knowing Bible verses.

Damian Hauschultz, now 17, pleaded guilty in June to one count of first-degree reckless homicide, court records show. Charges of child abuse and substantial battery were dismissed.

“My goal is to ensure that you are incarcerated for just long enough to mature, and develop, to work on education, to work on treatment, work on controlling that angry side,” Manitowoc County Circuit Court Judge Jerilyn Dietz said as she sentenced Hauschultz as an adult Thursday. Prosecutors said Ethan was forced to carry a log around a path for two hours a day for one week while Damian Hauschultz watched. Ethan"struggled to carry his log" and Damian Hauschultz hit, kicked, struck and poked him approximately 100 times, the criminal complaint states.

Why only 20 years?

Where’s the death penalty when you really, really need it?

And there are accounts On Here lecturing people about comparing American Christian extremists to other flavors of violent radical extreme terrorist. There is no functional difference between them.

But religion is the key to life.

Religion, the root of all evil.

Wow, that brought a whole new meaning to bible thumper though 😬

ONLY 20 YEARS for MURDERING a CHILD?! WTF Wisconsin?!

20 years for torture and murder WTAF?

Where were the parents?

Wow. The Wisconsin GOP takes another hit.

God, guns and the whole scam ! Religion as usual the most popular opiate

The little boy who was killed had been removed from his mother's home due to multiple instances of neglect. How he came to be placed with this lot should be investigated. Breaks my heart that all of the people who were supposed to take care of him and protect him, failed him.

These people need to be put away. His dad needs to be punished as well (mom already pled).

Like Ave D

Wrong kind of fanatic, is killing ok in his religion?

CRIMINAL EXTREMISTA QUE PERJUDICA LA RELIGION QUE PROFESA

EXTREMISTA

Must have been a christian judge and jury if 20 years is all he got. Should also go after the co-conspirators, those that assimilated the teen in religious delusions, preachers, parents, etc., should be prosecuted.

Why only 20 years?

There is no God. Jesus is myth like Heracles. Religion is poison.

My best friend is doing 26 years for 1 kilo of cocaine tell me how this adds up!

“Pro life”

Should be life

Had it been an adult who committed the crime, I’d hope he get natural life (no possibility of release). He too was a child when this happened. We can’t condemn children to death even though he himself did just that.

I believe that if you hurt kill or molest a child or anyone else. I can't say what I think should be done but I'm sure you can think what I'm thinking.

Only 20 years? How horrible. It should have been life in prison.

Religion. Smh.

The Christian Taliban

20 seems kinda light 🤔

Sounds like mom wasn’t so grand her self. Maybe she wasn’t ready or in a good situation to have a baby… poor kid. WomensRightsAreHumanRights

Seems most religions bring out the violence in people.

Tortured to death for not knowing Bible verses, what part of the Bible is that in?

gumboqueen3030 He should have got life but he was 14 when he killed the other boy. I believe its illegal Nationwide to send kids under 16 who commit murder to life.

Religion of peace..

Lord help.

I just finished reading through the whole King James Version. I didn’t see anything in there justifying such.

One less Republican voter.

religion is a plague

CheriJacobus Only 20 years. That's outrageous

CheriJacobus How are these extremist Christians unlike the Taliban

Another Q

CheriJacobus 🤬

A republican, for sure.

I find most non religious people to be more caring for human kind. Most religious people just want to judge others. Only met one person in my life that I considered an actual caring Christian. Look at the atrocities that have occurred in the name of religion throughout history

Modern Christians aren't too Christian.

20 years? Seriously. But yes America, keep giving Black men life sentences for weed. Makes sense

I knew before looking, but wanted to check anyway. Manitowoc County, Wisconsin = 61% trump Only the finest people.

I got one for ya. As you have sown, so shall you reap.

I don't understand a sentence less than life for most of these sorts of murders. You take a life like this, they don't get a reprieve nor should you.

Not good enough.

Another example if Taliban style Christian extremism

This has nothing to do with religion it is pure evil!

Too little time...he should spend the rest of his life in prison!

Sounds like your classic Trump supporter. Evangelical Hellvangelical EthanHauschultz

Somewhere in the Bible I’m sure it says thou shalt not kill. Maybe 6 or 5 I’m not sure

Religious fanatics and psychos everywhere…ugh.

Pro life….

Clearly the teen wasn’t practicing what he was preaching. You know—that part about, ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’

Christians themselves are responsible for the demise of Christianity.

Sorry- we have a mental health crisis in this Country! Religion is not an excuse!

Good people do good, bad people do evil but for good people to do evil you need religion.

Horrific

ONLY 20yrs?! For a TORTUROUS MURDER of a SEVEN YEAR OLD! Seriously?!!

But it's what Jesus would do

…. He should never be let out. What a horrible tragedy.

Charges of child abuse and substantial battery were dismissed for Damian🤨 Glad the whole family went to jail.

The Bible is dangerous literature and a cowardly excuse by some to control other's They never behave the same way Jesus did but believe their actions would make God proud, so they're justified

Religion brings out the best in people.

That's it?

Just 20 years?! Beaten, tortured death of a 7- year -old and only 20 years?! 🤬🤬🤬

Bible Verses? WTF?

Limo operator avoids prison time in crash that killed 20SCHOHARIE, N.Y. (AP) — The operator of a limousine company was spared prison time Thursday in a 2018 crash that killed 20 people when catastrophic brake failure sent a stretch limo full of birthday revelers hurtling down a hill in upstate New York. Wow, no justice at all, his negligence led to this happening, he pled guilty to it, yet will serve no time while 20 people and their families are obviously forever altered for the worse, yet another Judge in this country who needs to be removed from the bench immediately I remember being on a tour bus in Thailand that was going entirely too fast in heavy rain. That kind of stuff can fly in certain countries with poor regulation but it should never happen in America. The Midas shop is also culpable.
