A Nebraska man is facing felony charges after allegedly using duct tape to force two young boys to watch the cult classic Mommie Dearest.
29-year-old Glenn Oliver (pictured) has been charged with child abuse and false imprisonment, according to court records obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

The records state that Oliver told police he was babysitting the two boys, ages four and six, on Sunday evening while their mother/his girlfriend was at work. He tried to get the boys to quietly watch the movie. When they wouldn’t cooperate, he got out the duct tape.
How about we take this to the next level?

Oliver allegedly used the tape to cover the boys’ mouths, wrists, chests, ankles and heads. According to Officer Benjamin Murry, Oliver told police “he didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” adding that he was exhausted, not to mention frustrated, because the boys refused to listen to him.
A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, happened to stop by the house and see what was going on. She snapped a picture of the children with her cellphone then removed them from the home and contacted police.
Oliver’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 21.

No more wire hangars!!!

The duct tape put it over the line. I’ve found those big dog crates and some Tylenol PM works with unruly kids, if the parents are too cheap to ship ’em off to boarding school where they belong.

Mom should lose the kids for putting them in that situation

OMG.

Not sure why this is on a gay site but anyone who would let a grown man babysit children is asking for trouble in the first place.
Most men, especially at freaking 29 would not be babysitting children who are not their own(or over visiting one of their kids).
The parents should’ve known better.

1) Duct taping kids to watch a movie is stupid and so very cruel.
2) Mommies Dearest is not a kids movie.
3) If the mother is a good mother, she should dump this dummy as he is not the man for her or a father figure for her children.
4) If she was aware of his cruelty and willingly accepted it, hopefully the kids will be taken from her.
