of religious extremism and emotional child abuse. It's something Springville police refuse to talk to 2News Investigates about. In fact, they denied all requests for information in this case. of religious extremism and emotional child abuse.
2News Investigates has been digging into this situation for months after Springville police used the interaction and the officer’s report to DCFS to fire her. “I am immediately overwhelmed by the amount of signs that are taped all over his walls, hand written signs and posters of rules that these children have to follow,” Powell told 2News Investigates.
Footage obtained showed the father made it explicitly clear, he wanted Officer Powell to use scare tactics on his son.After telling Officer Powell his son needed to learn not to physically hurt anyone or destroy property, the man admitted he destroyed the children's basketball hoop.Him, cause he destroyed the hoop and then I throw the ball and he comes over picks me up and puts me on the ground.
However, when Lt. Leonard later interviewed Anderson, leaked documents showed her immediate response was that she didn't remember what Powell said, and she referenced how long ago the call was.
