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

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

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…’

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:

Why am I suspicious of this kid? What kid uses the term “heartbreaking”? He’s been coached for sure. And what about the woman’s side of the story? Maybe the kid bit her or spit on her, or whatever. And really, “torture”? Gimmie a break.

  My 12 year old could say “hilarious” in the right context when she was 3. Just sayin’.

Not that the kid should not have been disciplined, but the shop employee had no right to do so. That is Supposed to be the father’s job.

You People are idiots. It doesn’t matter how many cookies the kid threw, you do not take someone elses kid and hit them 25 times. The clerk should spend the next few years in jail.
Why do you people insist on always blaming the victim. You don’t know the whole story so you blame the victim. What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with this country?

Piaget,s Altruism is not correct – I’ve seen kids, as a kid, do very wicked and violent things. I see some already reminisce their childhood.

I don’t know what happened here. The story as presented is obviously incomplete. But, in general, if we had more ass whoopin’s, we’d have fewer asses.

Oh, and If that parent was shopping at “Dollar General” – there’s your reason for no parental guidance, no family structure, and stupidity, along with poverty. The father wasn’t around probably because he was having the kid create a distraction while he was filling his pockets. This kid is exactly why I spend the extra money shopping at a store like Target and higher quality. Doesn’t draw in the poverty trash.

Lot’s – o – comments, “Nobody’s going to touch my kid”. Well, I hope to hell YOU do when your kid acts up. That kid wasn’t just standing there minding his own business, for the woman to tell him he’s a “demon”. By that innocent “look” on his face, it shows clearly that he has mastered how to turn his true personality on and off, including what swear words comes out of that precious little mouth. Waayyyy too many 10 – 17 year olds getting in adults faces and swearing at them worse than a body shop tech. I guaran-damn-tee you that I’ve had enough of the “14 year olds thinking they rule the world”, and if one gets in my face (or my wife’s) they WILL get “blasted” right in the kisser. Hey – they want to “act and swear” like a drunken “adult”, then they can take a punch like said “adult”. Too many parents who think their little Johnny or Jenny is sooo special. Then when the kid is out in public he/she turns in to Chris Rock on crack. “It takes a Village” people. This is why the “protected poor little” under age teens run our Country and adults don’t dare step in their way – “or the parents will sssuuueee”. Hey!

Something sounds totally amiss here. The store clerk went beyond her legal boundary, however, the little kid needs his buns warmed when he gets home for talking the way he did and throwing the cookie, and then dad needs to bend over and receive his fair share. Sounds like dysfunctional family at best.

Yeah all he did was walk down an aisle and this woman started berating him…. Yeah right! He was probably being an unholy and unsupervised little terror in a store that’s understaffed. Probably making a mess of things that this woman would have to clean up and would cost the store in ruined merchandise.

  More than likely, he was the umpteenth unsupervised little brat she had to clean up after…put up with… that day. I’m guessing she just had had enough. BIG mistake on her part. Most people know not to touch other peoples’ children no matter how much you want to slap the crap out of them. I’ll bet she’s regretting what she did today. The family will end up owning the store. The little jerk will be reinforced in his behaviour. If she’s lucky, she’ll only lose her job.

Something wrong with this – I don’t think we got the whole picture. “He likes to play and, while you need to discipline him every once in a while,” – there you go.

Sounds like this kid needed it badly, and like his parents should have been slapped by the doctor that delivered him. Pukes like this rice-propelled yard rat are found by the shovel-full in Afghanistan…and NY, LA, Chicago, Miami, Mexico, Central America…

I don’t care if he is reading something off a card, he was beaten and that should never have happened.
I hope Family Dollar has good insurance, because this kid is going to get $$$$$$.

Its funny that when children were in coal mines working they tried desperatly to stay alive and keep there head up. Now with everything “handed” to them, they cant find anything at all to be happy about and wished there lives would end.
Parents keep your children close, give them responibilies, show them the life lesson of accomplishing things. It is essential to teach children how to deal with falling down, failures in life, and even losing. These things are so hard to learn as an adult. I would like to see where this kid is in the future after this lawsuit makes him rich.

Was he in there to taunt the store clerk who was known for a bad temper? It was very bold and bratty of him to throw a cookie at the store clerk, and run and hide behind the counter. If, out of the blue, she called him a demon; why did he not just walk out of the store or run? Maybe this kid regularly goes in and taunts her or steals or breaks things then runs out. We don’t know because they put a story out there with no information. What if she threatened to call the police or hi parents and he ran behind the counter to keep her from the phone? Why did he run behind the counter and not leave the store? Ok, I’ll only agree that she shouldn’t have hit him with a belt 25x.

Sorry, but he lost all credibility when he threw the cookie.. and I would rather have the spanking then be sitting in the police station. The clerk did go overboard a little.. but where was Momma.. how many times have I seen children running the store with no adult supervision. I was at a Walmart and these two small children had one of those scooters the disabled use to shop.. and they were tearing around the store. And just the other day.. they had an alert that a child was missing in the store. So why wasn’t Mama watching this child.. if they won’t stay with you, they go in the basket period.. Just where this little boy should have been. But if he is throwing a cookie now, what will he be throwing in 10 years, or 20. If my child would throw something at a store employee.. he would be punished. They have it now where parents are afraid to do anything… good heaven we wouldn’t want to harm his or her little spirits.. I am so glad I raised my kids 40 years ago.. cause in them days, you could take them over your knee and spank them. Spare the rod and you spoil the child.. thats whats wrong with the world! I was spanked as a child and it never harmed me!

I know a few who hold office who could have used a good attitude adjustment as a child.
