7-Year-Old’s Deadly Log Punishment Set by Great Uncle: State

During closing arguments Tuesday, the state argued that Timothy Hauschultz was responsible for deciding the punishments imposed on the children in his care, including the log-carrying punishment that led to 7-year-old Ethan’s death from hypothermia. Prosecutors pointed to evidence that Ethan was assigned to carry a 44-pound log for hours before he was found lying over the log, partially covered in snow. Timothy’s son, Damian, has been convicted for his role in Ethan’s death and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
