A Livingston County couple is accused of disciplining a six-year-old child with a wooden back scratcher and wet towels, leaving marks on the child.

Randy Pierson and Marianele Cutlip, both 25 of Avon, are charged with endangering the welfare of a child and harassment.

Sheriff's deputies say they were contacted by the Department of Social Services to assist in a possible child abuse situation. Deputies say they discovered there had been an ongoing pattern of abuse with regard to a six-year-old child.

We're told the couple struck the child with a wooden back scratcher and wet towels, resulting in marks being left on the child that were found when she was in school.

Pierson is being held on $500 bail and Cutlip is being held on $250 bail. Both are due in court at a later date.

The child has been removed from the home.

People slip and fall on the ice all the time...

Shoulda stuck with a switch.  

And that would explain the missing eyes, ears, and reproductive organs how?

I'm sure I am missing something more here... but my mother used a wooden spoon and my dad used a belt...

Used to happen all the time ... because I was not a good kid. And they left marks.

Were they basing it so let on you leaving a mark? That's not that indicative of abuse. Were there other things at all reported?  Like obvious be using of the face or ribcage?

I do a lot of my wood chipping in the winter.  Sounds good to me.
