Indiana Man Charged After Allegedly Forcing Soap Into Child's Mouth

An Indiana man has been charged with domestic battery for allegedly attempting to force a bar of soap into a 7-year-old child's mouth. The incident occurred in late August when the child allegedly used a curse word. According to court documents, the 7-year-old fought back, resulting in a cut forehead, facial redness, and ear bruising.

Daniel Schergen reportedly pulled over at a store to obtain a bar of soap. He told police the child had behavioral issues and a temper. Schergen's defense stated he is innocent until proven guilty, and the case is ongoing. He was released on a $750 bond, with his next court date scheduled for January 6.
