Child Whipped Roughly 25 Times by Store Clerk With a Belt Speaks Out: ‘Nobody Should Have That Kind of Torture’

Feb. 4, 2013 5:45pm Erica Ritz

Logan Ivey Speaks Out After Dollar General Employee Whips Him With a Belt Roughly 25 Times

(Photo: 13WMAZ)

An employe at a Dollar General store in Georgia was arrested last week after reportedly spanking an 8-year-old customer with a belt. According to 11Alive, she has been charged with aggravated assault after video indicated she whipped the boy roughly 25 times.

Now, young Logan Ivey is giving his version of events.

“It’s just heartbreaking me that it happened two days before my own birthday,” the boy began solemnly in an extremely thick southern accent. “It’s just…I don’t like it.”

When asked how the altercation began, Logan explained for 13WMAZ:

So I walked down this aisle and I seen the lady. She started calling me a demon, so I said, ‘I’ll show you bad,’ and I picked up a cookie and I threw it at her…

I tried to hide behind the counter, and somehow she found me and started whipping me and I didn’t have nowhere to go…

I felt like I had five needles sticking in me, man. It really hurt; I was screaming ‘Mama…’

(Photo: 13WMAZ)

Logan’s father Jody, who saw the video, added: “It wasn’t a spanking, it was more or less a beating than a spanking the way she was hitting him. I don’t know how to explain it and I don’t want to think about it.”

Ivey said his son is just like any other boy. He likes to play and, while you need to discipline him every once in a while, “he don’t deserve to be beat with no belt like that by nobody else.”

“It felt real, real painful,” Logan concluded. “Nobody should have that kind of torture.”

You’ll want to see the full interview, since a lot of the expression gets lost in plain text:

  The store manager will just lose her job and her attourney will use the insanity plea so she will get off with probation. My wife taught school for 32 years and she told me twenty years ago that one of her 5th grade students would kill someone someday! When he was in the 11th grade he shot a classmate and killed him. He told the court he thought it was a toy gun. He was judged as an adult and is serving life in prison. This kid will do the same. Since the Gov. wiil remove alll guns and knives he will run over his victim with a GMC truck since it will be just as effective. This is a product of our society where it is against the law to spank a child. Jesus was very smart when he said, “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” This kid is spoilt rotton and I’m sure his parents are the ones I’v heard for the 4th time say, You do that one more time and I’m gonna spank you.”

  “CHILD WHIPPED ROUGHLY 25 TIMES BY STORE CLERK”
  
  Roughly?
  
  Is there any other way to whip a child?
  
  I think CHILD WHIPPED LOVINGLY has a more “PC” ring to it.

  Although the clerk had no business administering such a beating, I can’t help but wonder just what the boy did to attract her attention in the first place. A normal person doesn’t erupt into such a rage without some cause. I seriously doubt that she confronted him and called him a demon for no reason. His comment that “I’ll show you bad” indicates to me that it wasn’t him polishing his halo that first caught the clerk’s attention.

  Spanking your child with a belt is not savagery you moron. Telling little Johnny that he did something wrong but giving him no more consequences than a timeout is why our society is in the shape it is in. A warranted spanking is good parenting and teaches a child that there severe consequences for his actions. Doesn’t mean that a child has to be spanked everytime that he steps out of line but that is a part of parenting learning what does and doesn’t warrant a spanking.

  @Capt. Cregg: I thought the exact same thing – only a little devil spawn says something like that. Plus, dad said, “he don’t deserve to be beat with no belt like that by nobody else”. So, I guess dad is confirming that the boy needs regular belt beatings, but only by him.
  
  The worst part is, everyone interviewing this turd isn’t smart enough to catch him being the little sh1t that he is, so now he’ll be emboldened to further anti-social behavior. He’s a little manipulator already, what normal 8 yr old boy talks about being “heartbroken” this happened 2 days before his birthday?
  If she didn’t leave permanent scars, then I don’t care how much it hurt, he deserved it. If the parent has a problem, then he should have been watching his 7 year old instead of letting the little animal run wild in the streets.
  
  And yeah, all you Southerners, if you have an accent that thick (where the story gets “better’ if you listen to it), you are an uneducated moron. It’s the same as an extreme NY accent – it indicates a low level of education.

  Spanking a child is not the place for a store clerk! She should have made contact with the child’s parent who was with him, explained the problem and let the parents handle it.
  
  Dollar General will wind up being sued and paying out a large sum of money because of the actions of their clerk. Lawyers for both sides will add to their bank accounts.

  “hpyagl…only savages hit their child with a belt…and only the mentally ill condone it.”
  
  You are a fool. The belt was the common disciplinary tool in households all over the country just a few years ago. It was the one of choice in my home growing up as in the households of many of my playmate’s homes. Guess what? None of us was traumatized by it. It is a very effective way to correct bad behavior in a child. Let me guess, you try and reason with a child…
  
  My parents would give me 1 warning. If I repeated the bad behavior out came the belt. It usually only took one whoopin for me to understand that kind of behavior was not going to be tolerated and i never repeated it. Sometime all it took was a reminder that the belt was going to be used if I did it again. But, as with all kids, somethings required the belt to drive home just how wrong what i did was and how it was not going to be allowed. It’s called parenting. A foreign concept these days which is one of the reasons why we have so many young adults who are lost.

  I would like to know why the interviewer never asked the boy “Are you supposed to throw things at people?” The clerk was wrong for taking matters into her own hands no doubt but this child only learned that he could get away in the end with his bad behavior. So it was a lose lose for all.
  
  If he was my kid the Birthday would have been a lonely one with just Mom and Dad no friends.
  I love the folks here who dont spank their kids. I have a few friends who didnt hit their kids because they say it teaches them to be violent and guess what? I saw their kids hit them and even spit at them as they ran rampant while my kids were cool calm and collected but most of all respectful to all. I can count on one hand in their entire life how many times I spanked them as well. They are all young well adjusted adults and our relationship is strong. I’m not their friend I’m their Dad who loves them.

Where was the parent when this “beating” was going on? He’s 8 years old, why was he out of the sight of his parent or adult he was with? A child of this age is a good age for abductions. I never let mine out of my sight let alone the grandkids, due to this. I’d have called the adult to the area, and waited for a reaction from them. No adult, has the right or should lay their hands on someone else’s child, and the should not do it period. Unless they are related, they have no business doing so.

  Most likely this is a welfare family, where it is everyone else’s job to deal with their little angels, except when it comes time to discipline them. That’s when we’re supposed to break out the toys, cookies, and milk and reward them for their bad behavior, just like we do their parents.

  Sorry but when the parent isn’t around any adult in charge should be free to correct the child. I grew up when teachers/schools were allowed to discipline children like this. Guess what? The school/teacher would let my parents KNOW they spanked me. Guess what was waiting for me when I got home? Yet another spanking. nothing wrong with this. I remember when this was allowed teachers had much better control over their classes. Very few students dared act out. Most showed the teacher respect. The age of coddling has ruined our children and is destroying our society. There are very few REAL consequences for bad behavior these days for kids. If a parent dares spank the child the kid can call CPS on their own parents for “abuse.” Schools are forced to tolerate bad behavior as well since we have also tied their hands when it come to real disciplinary action.

The child does have discipline problems and parents should learn to be good parents by showing they are responsible for the child and he can’t be running around the store. However, No one should ever whip a child like she did. The clerk needs to go through the court system for sure.

I had a father that was abusive and then when he was on his death bed he wondered why his kids didn’t have anything to do with him for years. So be good, disciplined but not abusive parents and teach your children to be good citizens and it will pay later in life for a better society. Abusive people get help right away and if you see anyone being abused turn them in right away.

  I don’t feel the clerk did anything wrong. What this kid is being taught is that he is free to treat adults with disrespect and expect to be protected from any real consequences. Where were the parents during this spanking? Certainly not within ear shot. The parents of this little brat should be in trouble. Bad parenting should be a fineable offense. Lack of discipline for a child is just as damaging as actual physical abuse is. It’s clear this kid is not disciplined at home. Even at his age my mom and dad made it VERY clear I was not to treat other adults like this kid did. If you can’t discipline your kids they should be taken away from you and given to loving parents that will.

  IMCHRISTIAN – My Dad was abusive too, broke my shoulder when I was 8 because I wouldn’t let my brother ride my bike when he had his own. HOWEVER, a spanking IS NOT abuse when properly administered and my kids today SPANK theirs when (rarely) necessary. My Dad was not a bad man, we are close today. Because of him, I live the straight and narrow path.

  I had a kid always tested out IQ at least 3 years ahead of his level. I took him to the zoo with my sister and brother in law, at age 2, they thought it’d be neat to take the “baby” around the zoo in his stroller, after 3 hrs, they caught up with me, Dad and other kids. First question my brother in law asked was, “what, the heck is an ARDVAARK? He’s had us all over the place looking for the ardvaark, we can’t find one anywhere!” I laughed till my sides hurt, then showed them the ant eater on the zoo map. Ahead of his time, NOPE! He just loved the Pink Panther show!

  It was just words until the kid escalated it with a cookie projectile. The **** whacking was justified. This kid needs to be taught the responsible use of a projectile now so that when he is of the age to carry a weapon that is capable of higher density and higher velocity projectile, he doesn’t let his emotions get the best of him.

I got my share of whuppin’s – with switch and belt – and served during the VietNam Era without suffering particular stress from my various traumas. My daughter, the doctor, was spanked – open hand swats – and still bettered her old dad.

Deranged store clerk starts calling my kid names for no reason, like ‘demon’. Then my kid chucks a cookie at her. THEN the store clerk chases my kid down and beats him with a belt. I’m sorry but I’m having a hard time blaming the kid. Unless there were previous incidents of the kid being a little brat, I’m going to side with him.

If that ever happens to my kid, I’m not calling the police. I’m just going to kick the clerks a$$. YOU DON”T TOUCH MY KID! EVER!

  I know that the clerk was in the wrong, but the kid sounds like a little hellion. I wonder what was going on before she called him that.
  
  If things were that out of control maybe she should have called the cops on the kid.

  That is all fine and dandy if you discipline your kid as you should and keep an eye on him. The problem here is the kid is running around unsupervised and probably acting like a freaking demon. If his dad had any kind of sense whatsoever he wouldn’t have let the kid run loose. I don’t condone strangers spanking others kids but on the other hand if you aren’t going to do it someone needs to.

Twenty five with a belt……sounds about normal when I was growing up but that was a different time. Hell, I’d MUCH rather have some female clerk get hold of me than my father!!!

Now, having said that, I’d have some hell to raise if anybody laid a hand on my kid. When we got home he’d WISH I’d have left it to them, but nobody else lays a hand on my kid, they don’t get detention or other sissified crap like that……he got me!

He’s now 33, self reliant, was an honor student and graduate, Navy veteran and has a moral compass.

  I have two pertinent questions that are not answered in the article.
  1..What was the boy doing to attract the clerk’s attention and cause her to call him a demon?
  2..I shop at Dollar General frequently, but don’t recall ever seeing cookies in anything but packages containing a couple of dozen or so. “…I picked up a cookie and I threw it at her” Note that he said A (as in one). Am I wrong in assuming that he had opened a package of cookies?
  That said, she went waaaaay overboard by administering an apparently severe beating.
  
  I’m hoping, albeit with low expectations, that The Blaze will follow up on this story.

That interview is completely fake too. He’s reading from a script. Eight year old kids don’t use abstract rhetorical phrases like “heartbreaking”. They would just say “I was sad”.

And I too suspect he deserved exactly what he got. Even what he admits to doing deserves an ass whoopin, and it’s likely what he actually did was far worse than what he’s admitting to.

  Sorry but I am a southerner and sometimes the accent gets mistaken for not being intelligent but if you listen to the dad talk in the interview I am pretty sure that the stereotype is correct. That kid was coached on what to say in that interview, if he talked like that in the school yard he would probably get his ass kicked.

Although the clerk had no right to “spank” the child, it seems as though there hasn’t been any real discipline at home either. Perhaps this unfortunate situation will be a real learning experience for him. And maybe in the long run keep him from getting into worse trouble. “Spare the rod, spoil the child”.

  How the heck do you idiots come up with these stupid conclusions? It doesn’t say anything like that in the story? What gives you the right to make up things so you can Hate the victim.
  I am so sick of the Haters on Blaze.

  That verse was never meant to be used as “strangers using the rod”. It’s good to read and quote the Bible….as long as you do so in the right context.

  Your comment is as irrelevant and childish as the child in question.
  
  @1Joyfilled
  
  Yes, you should. You would know how to the Jews applied what God told them to the whole community, not just the individual with the understanding as to why. Instead of making rash accusations, you should try to understand what God was doing, i.e. why such a severe punishment of homosexuality.

Clearly, the kid needs more spankings as does the coddling father. Any child who goes into a store and throws things around like they own the place has a severe lack of discipline in his life.

If someone calls you names, you walk away, not prove their point and escalate the incident.

The problem is, the father probably has no idea what a spanking is, let alone a beating.

hummmm, let’s see now, “she called him a demon” and to prove how bad he could be, threw a cookie at her…….
seems to me this boy had no adult supervision in a public establishment, and was using it as his “playground”..
I do not believe the clerk should have whipped him, but restraining him and calling the police would have been a better course of action..
Temper, temper…

There’s not enough story here to even comment on. What did the kid do? What we have so far is that clerk, for no reason called him a demon and started chasing him around the store. I doubt it.

  The boy threw the cookie in response to being called a demon. No one touches my kids in discipline other than my husband and I. No one. Stay away from my children.

The clerk was obviously wrong but I also believe what we have here is a little angel that never, ever does anything wrong…oh he’s just a little rambunctious a t times….he probably has been needing that beating for a long time.

  Why was the clerk in the wrong? Children need constant supervision and harsh punishments. If you punish correctly, then the price of disobeying and malicious behavior is so high that the child will stop doing it. My father is about the size of a linebacker and you can believe that it didn’t take many spankings to get me to follow the rules he set forth. The parent in this case should be charged with child neglect if he is going to be a sniveling little beach about having someone else discipline his child whilst he was not properly supervising him.
  
  You know, children who were improperly attended in past generations were never seen again. They got kidnapped, raped, abused, and sold into slavery. He should be so lucky that we live in the times we do and that his child received a valuable life lesson instead.

  25 hits with a belt is excessive for any discipline problem. How do you know the boy “probably” deserved a beating? You oughta have your head examined. Oh, yes, and not be allowed near any kids, ever.

  What the hell kind of reporting just gives one side of the story? What was the kid doing in the store? Was he beating an elderly woman with a stick after she had fallen down? Was he stealing stuff? Was he tearing up things in the store? Where did he get the cookie he threw at her? Did the cookie hit her in the eye? Not even an attempt to get an explanation from the store clerk as to what happened. Maybe the kid wasn’t doing anything wrong at all. Maybe he was just minding his own business and looking at toys. We don’t know because journalists are lazy BUMS!!!!

  The clerk was in the wrong, simply because it was NOT her child.

  not eh clerk was in the right. The PARENTS were in the wrong. Where were they? They sure as hell weren’t within ear shot. The way this kid behaved tells me he doesn’t get any discipline at home. If no one corrects him he will grow up to be problem for the rest of us.
