Indiana Police Officer Forces Daughter, 6, to Hold 'I Want to Kill My Brother' Sign -- and Then Responds to 911 Call Hims

Logansport police officer Cody Scott and his wife, Kylie Scott, have since pleaded not guilty to two felony neglect charges

An Indiana police officer and his wife have been charged with neglect after bystanders reported that the couple allegedly forced their 6-year-old daughter to stand outside in the cold holding a sign as a punishment.

According to court documents obtained by local outlets Fox 59, WTHR and the Pharos-Tribune, a woman in Logansport called 911 on Jan. 19 to report that a young girl was standing outside in 18-degree weather holding a sign that read: "I want to stab and kill my brother, I even take an antipsychotic. If you need to give pity, then give it to the victims."

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox 59, Logansport Police Department officer Cody Scott and his supervisor responded to the 911 call. Body camera footage allegedly showed a witness who called to report the incident speaking with the two officers, telling them: "This baby is standing out here in the freezing cold with a sign."
