Pastor drags girl
(San Antonio, Texas) - Two people are accused of tying a 15-year-old girl to a van, and dragging her at a Christian-based boot camp.
The pastor for a San Antonio church is facing some serious charges. "Love Demonstrated Ministries" has been around since 1994, and its website says the goal of their 32-day boot camp is to teach young people Christian principles.
Police charged 46-year-old Reverend Charles Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt each with aggravated assault. Rev. Flowers is the pastor at Faith Outreach Center in San Antonio.
When asked if Flowers had any comment about his ministry, he said, "We've already said everything we're going to say."
Flowers founded a Christian boot camp for young people in the mid '90s , and he is now accused of dragging a 15-year-old girl behind a van on June 12th.
Investigators say the incident happened when the girl fell behind during a run at the camp site in Banquete, Texas. Two employees who reported the incident say they were fired after speaking up.
The mother of the victim, who is being kept anonymous to protect the victim, said "They didn't care whether she lived or died. "
She also said, "I don't care how bad they are, you don't treat a dog like that, you don't tie a dog to the back of your car. "
Her mother continued, "She has injuries on her hand, her arm, her chin, her stomach her back and her legs." The victim's mother said the witnesses seemed somewhat indifferent, "The witness had said, what if that girl would have died, well it would have been a tragedy, but at least she would have been an example to the other girls. "
Authorities from Nueces County arrested Flowers and Bassitt, another worker at the camp. If convicted, each defendant could face two to 10 years in prison.

Love Demonstrated Ministries should start off a bit slower - like, with handcuffs, whips and water torture!

If that were one of my children, he wouldn't have to worry about any jail time. I would be facing 15 to 20 for multiple charges of manslaughter. 0 -
If I saw that s*** going on I'd run him off the road, drag him out and arrange a meeting with Mr. Satan [;)] 0 -
I say drag HIM!! 0 -
Spryor-
That is a wonderful idea. Slowly speed up and then when he falls, hit the brakes so he slams into the vehicle and then do it all over again.0 -
I think it was done - back in the 20's and 30's. 0 -
but, but it's a Christian-based boot camp, must be ok to do 0
