Child Abuse

In an episode of the now-defunct Christian podcast 'Sunday Evening Coffee', Jack disclosed that he had abused his elder son, Garrett, due to Garrett's marijuana use. Jack alleged that Garrett began using marijuana while interning at a computer store in Huntington Beach, California. According to Jack, Garrett's marijuana consumption led to severe anger management issues and frequent verbal attacks on his stepmother, Tammy. Jack accused Garrett of physically confronting both him and Tammy on two separate occasions. He described the first incident, saying he subdued Garrett by forcibly taking him to the ground. In a subsequent altercation, when Garrett allegedly pushed Tammy against a door, Jack recounted how he tackled Garrett to the ground again, threatening his life by forcefully choking him and screaming into his ear. Jack claimed the choking was so intense that it caused Garrett's nose to bleed.[1]
